Inthis post we will look at the steps to deploy Foxit PDF editor using ConfigMgr (SCCM). We will download the latest version of Foxit PDF editor, package it in ConfigMgr and deploy it to our Windows 10 clients.

There are different softwares available online that can open .pdf files. Adobe Reader is one such popular software that most of the people have used. Either because it came pre-installed with your new laptop or you were recommended by someone.

Today there are several alternatives to Adobe Acrobat reader that can open PDF files and you can even edit and secure them with a password. One among such popular softwares is the Foxit PDF reader software.

In this post I will download the latest version of Foxit PDF editor and will deploy it using ConfigMgr to Windows 10 computers. Foxit PDF editor and Foxit PDF editor pro comes with more features when compared to Foxit PDF reader.

The editor version requires a license and you can buy it if you like the software. Foxit allows you to try out their products like Foxit PDF editor and Foxit PDF editor Pro for 14 days. You can download a 14 day free trial of Foxit PDF Editor from downloads page.

When you visit the Foxit downloads page, select either Foxit PDF Editor or Foxit PDF Editor Pro and click Free Trial Download. On the pop up form enter few details such as name, email address, contact number and download the installer.

One good thing about the Foxit PDF installers is you get a choice to download .msi installer or .exe installer. If you are installing the software on your laptop then download the executable and if you want to deploy it to multiple computers download MSI installer.

I have download the Foxit PDF Editor pro and the installer size is 723 MB. Copy the software to a folder on your site server or in a folder where you place all the softwares for packaging. You can also download an icon for Foxit PDF editor so that we display both application and icon to users in software center.
