    Duration of ownership: 8 Months

    Strengths: Not really sure. They say it is a smaller program and more efficient than Adobe Reader.

    Weaknesses: The main weakness and the reason I wont install it on any more computers is the update process attempts to give you a bunch of other stuff you don't need, including trial versions of other foxit products. This is unacceptable. People should be able to do program updates without a bunch of hassle so that they can make sure their software is patched as it should be. The way this software updates makes one not want to ever do it. My suggestion for foxit reader and other software developers is make updating EASY. A simple "click" and it updates it with everything you need without including a bunch of junk.

    Overall Evaluation: Poor. It doesn't matter how good everything else is. The update process ruins it.

    Strengths: It is the only free PDF reader that allows you to fill forms and save them.

    Weaknesses: Slightly buggy on filling forms - occasional temporary "stuck cursor" and data save problems.

    Overall Evaluation: For free dissemination of PDF forms for folks to fill in, it cannot be beat!

    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Comes up quickly and displays properly.

    Weaknesses: Printing speed is verrrry slow. The program re-opens anew for every new pdf file. When Foxit is open and printing nothing else can be worked on. Not much tech support help.

    Overall Evaluation: Save your money. Don't even get the free version. To print one page takes a full 60 seconds even to get started. When printing a multi-page document, the print job takes forever and ties up everything else. When a new pdf file is opened, the foxit program opens another session of Foxit.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: Lightweight, fast in most cases, no preloading as with Adobe Reader

    Weaknesses: Slow rendering of complex charts

    Overall Evaluation: I use it and recommend it as a slimmer, faster alternative to Adobe's fat cumbersome reader.
