Free Light PDF Reader

Posted by admin | Filed under Free Software

PDF reader is one of the most must have software on any computer these days.  What we want our PDF reader to do is to be able to open any PDF file that we get from anywhere.  Unil the last year, I have been using Adobe Reader for this purpose but I noticed that it takes a long time to donload as well as the software to load into the memory in order to open a PDF file.  As of today, the size of the Adobe Reader installation file is 33.5 MB.

I was looking for solutions to overcome the above issues and found that Foxit Reader is the best solutions.  Foxit reader loads faster and the installation file is only 3.6MB (which is 90% smaller than Adobe Reader)

Here are some of the many advantages of using Foxit PDF Reader

  • Multiple files open on same window - different tabs
  • Text Converter - convert your PDF file into a text file
  • Hight Security and Privacy - no spyware
