Okay, David ... Tech, so I extracted this topic from that other thread on the avast! Home / Pro Forum and brought it over here more appropriately. I did already install the latest version of Foxit Reader on my Windows 98SE computer.
Verdict? Nnnnggg, Uhhh, well, I cannot say it is performing as ideally as Adobe Reader. As my Test Subject, I chose an AV-Comparatives PDF File I had in My Documents Folder. At 125% Zoom, which is what I use in Adobe Reader to see the File at a decent size ... Foxit Reader did have the same size of the content, but it was
NOT displaying the characters in some Charts correctly. The characters were a bit mangled.
Also, with Adobe Reader, I can just click on the Scroll Bar and Scroll Up & Down smoothly at will. With Foxit Reader, I couldn't do that. The Scrolling in Foxit Reader was Choppy & Lock Up-y and was making the Hard Drive Activity LED really active.
Now I don't know if those 2 problems are being cause by that issue of some sources suggesting that the Latest / Newest Foxit Reader
2.3 was
NOT for
Windows 98SE. I don't know if a Lower version would clear up those problems.
For now, do I Uninstall THIS version of Foxit Reader with just plain using the ole Control Panel - Add / Remove method? Or is there a Special Uninstaller for Wiping Out Foxit?
