Download Foxit Reader 1.3 build 0104

Foxit Software has just released version 1.3 build 0104 of Foxit Reader. With this program PDF documents can be viewed and with a download of less than one and a half MB, it is a small and fast alternative to Adobe Acrobat Reader. In addition, the software does not need to be installed in order to do its work, but one installer however, is available to the enthusiast. This release fixes an issue in the Internet Explorer toolbar that occurred in version 1.3 build 3112 released a few days ago. Since we didn’t cover it in the bug tracker, here’s the changelog for both versions:

Foxit Reader 1.3 Build 0104:

• This build fixed the toolbar problem in Internet Explorer.

Foxit Reader 1.3 Build 1231:

• New: Back/Forward navigation: now you can keep track when you use links, bookmarks or other ways jumping around the document.
• Sometimes symbolic characters were not displayed correctly. In fact, Foxit Reader now embeds two symbolic fonts developed by our font designers, so no matter what kind of Windows system you have, you can always view those symbols now;
• Fixed a number of “fail to search text” problem;
• An important performance improvement for viewing with large zoom scale;
• Gouraud shading (a technique used by many 3D graphics system) now supported.
