Foxit Software Reader 2.0 Works Great With Windows Vista RTM, Just FYI.

To Whomever Was The First Person In this Newsgroup Who Recommended Foxit
Software Reader 2.0, I Thank You Very Much, Just FYI. I Installed Foxit
Software Reader On My 2 Computer's On Easter Sunday, And I Found That It
Works Great With Both MSIE7 RTM and Mozilla Firefox 2.0, On Windows Vista
Ultimate Edition RTM, Also Just FYI. After Seeing How Great Foxit Software
2.0 is, I Will Never Ever Use Adobe Acrobat Reader Software Again, Just FYI.

Re: Foxit Software Reader 2.0 Works Great With Windows Vista RTM, Just FYI.

It may have been me.. I took exception the the fact that AR8 required UAC to
be turned on.. so when I decided to dump AR7, I looked for something else
and came across Foxit.. a simple 1.68mb installation file as opposed to
20.8mb of AR8, and it works great, doesn't it..

AR has seen the last of me for sure.. now when I put a reader on a client's
computer, Foxit cuts it for me..

Does the PDF plugin for Firefox work now? Last time I tried Foxit on XP, the
plugin didn't work at all. I haven't tried it under Vista x64. I'd like to
ditch Adobe as well because of its bloat, but there's no point if the
alternatives don't live up to their promises.

I also recommended it some time ago but in the 64-bit NG.
Please note that this weekend v2.00.1606 was released.
Make sure you have the latest version.
Are you ready for the lightest Acrobat reader in the world now?
Well...
I will share my secret.
It is "Cool PDF reader" (http://www.pdf2exe.com/reader.html).
Just a 655kB download.
Also works in Vista.

Hey Kev buddy,

You still working on that 2 cent postal increase? I heard there will lots
of in house training. The supervisors have issued a big manual and there
will be regional training within a week. I just went through it the other
day.

The test was hard, but I got through it!

I tried Foxit, and although it works fine most of the time, it would not
let me get a printed copy of the tax return I prepared at TaxSlayer.com.
Had to reinstall Adobe Reader 8.0, which had no trouble with that chore.

Just curious. Did you try to Save a copy of the return and then open in to
print?

Re: Foxit Software Reader 2.0 Works Great With Windows Vista RTM, Just FYI.

I work at a Chicago Area Post Office and Not At a Processing and
Distribution Center (They Post Mark Every Thing At the Processing and
Distribution Center's and Not At The Local Post Offices), Just FYI. As a
Temporary Employee, I am mainly responsible for Sorting the Second Class
Mail and Third Class Mail (which already has the Route Number on it For
Example: City Route 1, Rural Route 1, P.O. Box 1 = 1-100), and do not handle
very much First Class Mail as a Temporary Employee, Just FYI.
