I recently asked all of you to submit your screencasts to me for review. The best of the best will be chosen to be featured here, in my various channels and outlets. This provides content of a different perspective for our community, and gives you new exposure for your work! Marques has submitted an excellent screencast, showing you an alternative to Adobe’s PDF Reader 8 – FoxIt.
Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer. It is incredibly small, and exceedingly fast. It supports virtually all versions of Windows.
In the past, you had to download a huge PDF reader from another company, sit and wait for installation and updates, and then finally open your PDF. With Foxit, you simply install one small file and you’re ready to go. Foxit also features an annotation tool, and text conversion. What other free PDF reader can say that – and mean it?
For Marques, it only took about half the time to open and load as Adobe did. That is a significant improvement. He didnt have to wait on a splash screen – the document just opened. You can also view your PDF as a text document using Foxit… thereby copy and pasting things from the PDF to any word editing program.
In my book, free software that has better features than its paid counterparts is nothing but pure win. Thanks to Marques for providing this look at Foxit Reader for the community!

I’ve been using Foxit for a little over three years now. Truthfully, I can’t image how Adobe manages to peddle their rubbish at all?

Hell yeah I’ve tried Foxit PDF reader I’ve been using it for like 4 or 5 years now.
I like it for 3 reasons,1 it has a small foot print, 2 low CPU overhead & 3 it smacks the hell outta Adobie’s big fat slow reader.
I also use Opera as a web browser & Web Ferret as a search engine (Web Crawler) Opera goes without explination but web ferrett is a search engine that will not give you duplicate hits thus weesing out millions of results that are identical.
