Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size, breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set. In the past, you have to download a huge PDF Reader from another software company, go through a lengthy installation process and wait for an annoying splash window to disappear just to open a PDF document. Moreover, if you want to annotate a PDF document, you have to pay US$299 to buy that certain PDF software.

These are all features already existing in the Adobe versions. Glad that Foxit is gradually but surely getting each one of these functions, onboard.

This update of

Foxit Reader 5.3.0.0423

has a problem (bug). If you use Firefox or Pale Moon browsers, and if you have an Hotmail account for e-mails, when you open hotmail, you can´t read, send or eliminate your e-mails. This problem is caused by Foxit reader plugin for Mozilla. If you deactivate the foxit reader plugin in Firefox or Pale Moon, you can use your hotmail account, or do not use this version 5.3.0.0423., instead use the older version. I spend a few time in google, searching for this update problem. I will wait for a new update without this bug.
