Download Foxit Reader 3.0 build 1222

Yesterday Foxit Software released the first so-called maintenace release of version 3.0 of Foxit Reader. PDF documents can be viewed with this program. With a download size of just a few megabytes, it’s a small and fast alternative to Adobe’s Reader, especially on an older computer with limited resources. The program is free, but for certain functionality, which is part of the so-called pro pack must be paid. Examples of this are saving as a text file or adding comments to a PDF file. Below is what has changed in this release:

The bugs fixed in this release include:

• The annotations added by the typewriter tool will be rotated along with the page.
• Pop up “Mozilla Firefox is not installed” when users failed to install Firefox plug-in.
• May take a long time to open a file in Windows Vista Home version.
• This updated version allows users to delete the advertisements.
• The Auto-Rotate feature may be unavailable when printing with Snapshot tool.
• Go back to the default settings of the printer properties when users reopen the PDF files.
• This updated version will choose to print documents in actual size mode or fit to paper mode based on the default settings in the print dialog box with Command lines.
• Page numbers are printed in a disorderly way when printing multiple copies in double-side fashion.
• The slow launch speed when running Foxit Reader for the first time after the system startup.
