Maybe You’ll Be the One That I Like Best

I’ve complained before about Acrobat Reader. Man, do I hate that thing. So, when I saw PC World’s daily update today, I was a happy, happy dude.

FoxIt Reader

Adobe Reader isn’t your only option for viewing PDF files. FoxIt Reader is a free utility that includes some tools that Adobe Reader lacks, including a “typewriter” tool that lets you type text in any PDF, not just files that have been set with form fields.

We found that FoxIt launches very quickly (in about 1 second) and it requires no installation–you just run the executable file. It allows you open, view, print, and change the page layout in PDF files.

Version: 1.3
Price: Free
