Foxit Download
Perla Hockins
I was editing a document on foxit reader. While undoing a change I mistakenly undid a lot of previous changes. Without realizing this I continued editing and when I finally realized what had happened, it was too late to just undo changes as I don't want to lose the changes I have done since then.
Whenever I bump tab, the view seems to jump an arbitrary number of pages down. I can't figure out exactly what this behavior is, but as it's easy for foxit to register tab when you're alt-tabbing about, it's rather annoying. (I've tried to locate it in settings as well as google with no luck)
Most issues I've come across with foxit reader and other applications is that sometimes you'll need to tweak the security settings down so PDFs can be viewed directly in the browser. Firefox has had an on/off relationship with the Foxit Reader plugin as fas as stability goes in my experience!
one of the samples in the msdn article by stephen toub was for pdf files...of which i receive a lot. i don't use adobe reader because i think it is overkill for reading pdf's personally. the sample, however, relies on having adobe reader installed...which i didn't like. i started working with the foxit activex sdk, because i love their reader product. after some communication with the team at foxit, we started collaborating.
as a result of that collaboration, foxit software and i partnered to create the 'foxit pdf preview handler' which you can download for free! this is a pdf preview handler for outlook 2007 and windows vista. the current version requires vista, but we are working on a windows xp version for outlook 2007 on winxp. what this enables you to do is, well...the following:
there is no official foxit support included for this add-on, but i'm happy to field questions/suggestions myself. keep in mind, i'm not going to be (nor will they) altering the pdf renderer...that's their product. if you need pdf rendering capabilities within your application, i highly suggest looking at foxit integrations using their dll and activex sdk's for your applications. they are a great company with a great team. it's a global team and they were very responsive throughout our communication. i really appreciated their willingness to collaborate on something so simple and helpful to the greater community. please give them a look-over.
