With Foxit, it is NOT possible to flip back and forth in a large book without coming to a grinding halt.

If the compression is high and the page background color is noticeable (yellowish/sepia etc.)-which contributes to processing overhead-then Foxit simply grinds to a halt, even on the fastest of PC machines.īy now-with modern machines having plenty of memory-you'd think Foxit would have proper memory management allowing for read-ahead and decompression features that would make the moving around within such books easy to do, however, to put it bluntly moving around a large scanned book with Foxit is simply torturous-painfully tedious in the extreme.

I look at many scanned books in PDF format. There are many notable issues/problems with Foxit that I could address but I'll limit myself to two: its grindingly slow speed and its essentially useless Text Viewer. (And just because Microsoft does something it doesn't mean it's AOK and the world must follow-the ribbon, Vista and Win 8 being three first-class examples of notable M$'s stuff-ups!) It's hard not to get the impression that Foxit's developers spend more time playing games than they do actually using their product or otherwise they'd see what they were doing isn't conducive to user ergonomics when viewing PDF's in a typical PC environment. Can't these stupid developers realize that vertical resolution is already at a high premium with the wide 'movie-viewing' screens we commonly use today and that such screens are NOT conducive to viewing page or book-shaped data as is so commonly available with the PDF format? Deliberately making the problem worse is just nonsensical.Įven the older standard UI, which you can switch back to if you look hard enough, takes up too much screen real estate (and using full-screen mode isn't necessarily convenient). Foxit has always been promoted as the lightweight viewer that was to outdo Adobe's lumbering behemoth-a feat that's easily accomplished by almost any other PDF viewer product on the market-yet Foxit now stands on the threshold to outdo even Adobe.Īlso, the new ribbon UI is absolutely hideous, it's ugly in the extreme but more importantly it takes up far too much valuable screen real estate. Why the hell can't Foxit's developers leave well enough alone or just fix its longstanding limitations is beyond me. Recently, the Foxit PDF viewer has become bloated beyond all recognition-but not so followed by useful function. Well I've just uninstalled Foxit 6x.And the uninstall survey at Foxit never even gave me the chance to explain why I did so, so I'll do so here.
