Download Foxit Reader 12.1.0

Foxit Software has released version 12.1.0 of Foxit PDF Reader, an alternative to Adobe Reader. With this free program, PDF documents can be viewed, completed and signed. For editing PDF documents, Foxit software has the paid Foxit PDF Editor (formerly PhantomPDF), comparable to Acrobat Pro DC. If you use the internal update function, don’t forget to uncheck the box to download and install PDF Editor. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
