Foxit Reader is the BOMB.

Fuck off, Adobe Reader. You have given me nothing but trouble with your constant crashes and incessant updates.

A little history:

I'm a psychology degree student and my life revolves around reading journals by fat intelligent men with receding hairline.

Adobe Reader sometimes doesn't even allow me to read the pdf files. The thing is, I couldn't highlight the main points of the journals to be paraphrased in my assignments that I had to resort to cutting & pasting them into a Word document and labelling each one as 'direct quotes' and 'paraphrase'. It's a hassle and too much work. Don't even me get me started on referencing each of the authors at the end of my notes.

What Foxit Reader allowed me to do is:

a) Letting me choose the color scheme of the reader - blue, orange, purple, black and classic. It's more fun to read your files in a more 'fun' way.

b) You can highlight your notes easy-peasy. In your favourite red color of the exact shade that you like.

c) They even have those underline methods where you can choose of squiggly, wavy etc...even the colors of your underlines according to importance.

d) You can make notes and comments at anywhere on the pdf files.

e) They even have bookmark features.

f) Opens up as many pdf files and easy acess to each opened one.

g) It allows you to draw custom shapes into your files and saves them.

h) Oooooookkkaaayyy, to be honest it was also part intrinsic motivation to try something different.

In conclusion, Foxit Reader rocks balls.


So thank you Foxit Reader for making a busy student's life helluva lot easier and this is my unpaid review of your product.
