Download Foxit Reader 4.2.0 build 0928

Foxit Software has released version 4.2 of Foxit Reader. This program is an alternative to Adobe Reader. It handles most PDF documents very well, but complex or very large documents can sometimes be a little too much of a challenge. However, it is a godsend for computers with limited resources. New in version 4.0 is, among other things, that the extra functionality that could previously be added through the paid pro package is now part of the program itself. This makes it possible, for example, to add comments in a PDF document and then save it. The main improvements in version 4.2 are listed below:

New features:

• Verify the digital signature
  Foxit Reader 4.2 now features a PDF digital signature verification technology which uses an enhanced, yet ISO 32000 compliant, verification process that ensures the signature is real and neither the document nor the signature have been compromised. This new verification process provides a secure and reliable platform for changing electronics documents without putting the user at risk from falsified documents.
• Enhance security with ASLR & DEP support
  Foxit Reader 4.2 continues to add features that increase security by making it harder for hackers to compromise a PDF document. The current version of the reader includes Address Space Layout Randomization, ASLR, which uses a random algorithm to determine a memory address used to store key file data. A second security feature is Data Execution Prevention, DEP, which simply prevents executing code from a non-executable memory location. ASLR and DEP combine to highly improve Foxit Reader Security and provide a stable platform for enterprise, business and consumer, Foxit Reader users.
