  Duration of ownership: 0 Days

  Strengths: That I still have a copy of an old, free-standing version on hand.

  Weaknesses: It tries to load your computer with junk when you install it, and then pesters you to death trying to sell the paid version. The fact that it has to be installed is enough to kill it for me... the old version just sits on the desktop, and when opened once, associates itself with all PDF files on your computer, all you have to do is click on any PDF file, and it opens instantly.

  Overall Evaluation: They have ruined a perfectly good little program. Whoever is in charge should be horse-whipped.

  Strengths: It has a small footprint with no programs hogging system memory like Adobe does.

  Weaknesses: None detectable

  Overall Evaluation: This is a full featured PDF reader without the Adobe bloat that slows down system performance. It opens any PDF file with ease and speed. I recommend this reader to anybody as a replacement to Adobe Reader.

  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.

  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.

  Strengths: It was esay to down load

  Weaknesses: Contrary to your mag's article, the annotation is only available on the Pro version that does cost. It works unless you desire to save or share. This feature may have been installed after you wrote the article.

  Overall Evaluation: Not free as advertized PrimoPDF works and is free.

  Strengths: Fast, efficient.

  Weaknesses: None so far.

  Overall Evaluation: When I tried printing PDF files with Adobe Reader 8.0, the print was blurred, almost like having double-vision. So I downloaded Foxit reader and made it my default PDF reader and the print is very clear. I highly recommend Foxit Reader.

  Strengths: It truly is smaller and in some ways faster than Adobe Reader.

  Weaknesses: When I was sent a lease agreement via email, nothing written on the page showed up on Foxit Reader. This program fails in the most inopportune times

  Overall Evaluation: Foxit is good for reading regular documents,but when a more complex PDF is sent your way, you can't beat good ole' Adobe

  Strengths: Fast as a PDF viewer.

  Weaknesses: Cannot use any editing features without the program leaving an ugly watermark.

  Overall Evaluation: Your decription "and edit any of the text they contain" and "can annotate a PDF with text or graphics, and save the PDF forms you fill out" cannot be done properly with the free version.
