It does a mediocre job of rendering, and isn't faster than Acrobat if you strip out all of Adobe's lame plugins (we put plugins in your plugins so you can extend while you embrace!)
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoI didn't know that about Foxit Reader; thanks for sharing. Still, there's no reason, given the author's own requirements, why a PDF reader has to come from Microsoft rather than a competent third party. Granted, Microsoft has gotten better at security in recent years, but they're hardly exemplary at it.
