i agree it is really fast
And small; of course, Adobe seems to use a bulky style of programming. Any app made by them that I have ever seen has been huge and slow in loading. MS is the same way; alternatives to their apps usually offer identical features, but are smaller and faster. I love freeware/opensource, and I sure hope that DRM doesn't kill it off! Nothing like incompatibilities to turn a person off.
it certainly lacks some fine points. If you want to print from pdfs, then you may not want to use this. It screws up printing, but the on-screen reading is good. all in all it is good for desktop reading but trust me it can't beat kpdf. Its iis the best pdf reader available and second most popular after adobe reader. And it gives the good printout 2. Does any body know.... is it available for windows?
i found this link when i was searching for term "kpdf for windows"
http://www.schnauffe.de/html/Uni/Knoth/kpdf.exe
chk it out if it is working for u...
i'll try this later when i will use windows
Was that supposed to be the program? I ran it under command prompt, and all it did was extract 4 pdfs. When I opened them up, it look like a German math tutorial.
lol
lol
So... do you have an actual working link, or was that some sort of joke? I don't do German, so it didn't do me a ton of good.
when i was searching about kpdf for windows i got following info on google group

i hope it would b helpful 4 u
If I read it right, it looks like a version for Windows doesn't exist yet. Not a big deal though, since I like my Foxit Reader just fine for now. If KPDF ever does get released for WinXP, I'd be interested in giving it a go, but I'm still just glad that I don't have to use that cruddy Adobe Reader anymore.
actually there is no need of searching its windows version its source code is available on net as it is a open source software . All u need to do is download its source code with kde library compile it in windows and you will be able to use it on windows without any problem
I have been using this program for several years now. The icon used to be a green TREE!
Anyway, Foxit is great indeed, but the full-screen view has some bugs. Some docs appear very small, and all docs are obscured where my vertical taskbar is located.
I'd gladly put up with it's bugs versus using the slow loading and bloated Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Foxit Reader updated to v. 2.0.2007.1316.
Print problems with HP was solved (at least to me).
They are working.
The download was 1.11 MB, so I figured, this has got to be crap. After downloading it, it only took 2.66 MB.
There is a saying, it goes something like this;
Good things comes in small packages.
