Die Macher des Foxit PDF Reader haben vor kurzem die neue Version 2.3 zum Download bereit gestellt. Diese Ausgabe bringt eine ganze Reihe von Neuerungen mit, die das Programm noch vielseitiger machen sollen. Zudem gibt es eine Reihe von Verbesserungen.
Foxit Reader orientiert sich stark am Aussehen des Original-Produkts, dem Adobe Reader. Die Software startet beeindruckend schnell und bietet die gleichen Grundfunktionen wie das große Vorbild. Eine Reihe von unnötigen Plugins, die beim Acrobat Reader normalerweise beim Start geladen werden, wurden von vornherein gar nicht in das Paket gepackt.

Meine Meinung: ich nutze Foxit schon länger als PDF-Reader, da der Adobe-Reader derzeit mit ca 25 MB daher kommt und Foxit gerade 2,5 MB ausmacht... zwei Daumen hoch
