In my daily work and study, I often use pdf files. Pdf is a file extension used popularly to present research documents and ebooks.I have used Acrobat Reader to read these pdf files for a long time. Acrobat Reader is the original program to read pdfs and it is used widely by many people in the world. But I really don't like it because it 's too heavy to run on my age-old computer. I was bored with waiting it slowly running when I opened a big pdf file.I decided to find whether there are others that can read pdf files. And I found one - Foxit Reader. Foxit Reader is the alternative reader/viewer for PDF files (eBooks). It's smaller, faster, and cleaner. And it's free. Once again, you know, I love free softwares.You don't need to go throught lengthy installation process to start using Foxit Reader, just UNZIP the downloaded package into any place you want, then run FoxitReader.exe.You can set Foxit Reader as your default PDF reader, so you can double click on PDF files to open them within Foxit Reader. Just right click on a PDF file, on General tab click change button and browse to choose the FoxitReader.exe in the unziped folder.I write this page to share my soluton with people who need a replacement to read Pdfs. Try using it, perhaps you like it too.Now, my age-old computer can run pdf files with a smiling face (I think so :) ). I also feel comfortable dealing with pdfs in my work and study.If you haven't had a Foxit Reader yet,you can download it free at foxitsoftware.com.
