Why FoxIt?

The well known PDF file reader is Adobe Acrobat Reader. FoxIt is less well known, is free (as is Acrobat Reader) but is smaller, quicker to download and faster in use.

We have decided to give FoxIt a try on Bath Sword Club published documents.

How To Download

With windows Explorer, create a new folder in the folder C:\Program Files directory and name it FoxIt.

A dialog opens with the question: Would you like to open the file or to save it to your computer?

Select Save.

Click on Save.

Extract The File

With windows Explorer, navigate to the new folder C:\Program Files\FoxIt

Extract the files into the same folder.

Make it the standard PDF Viewer

With windows Explorer, navigate to the new folder C:\Program Files\FoxIt.

Double click on the file FoxItReader.exe.

Set Foxit Reader as your default PDF reader. That is all you have to do. Now, whenever you double click on a pdf file, the FoxIt PDF Reader will be launched to display the file.
