Moderators DennisD Posted July 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2008 A simple fix to permanently get rid of that nagging banner ad. Open Foxit, deactivate the banner ad in the "view" drop down menu, close Foxit. Repeat the process until the ad no longer appears. When I tried this it took six times for it to work, but work it did. I installed it properly (not under Returnil), and rebooted afterwards just to be sure, but the ad hasn't reappeared. This is using the latest version, Foxit 2.3.

Icedrake Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It worked! Took me 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony A Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I only had to do it twice and it worked. Lets see how long this lasts though. So far I have open and closed Foxit about 8 times and the ad has not come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2008 That's a clever find, I'll start using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I don't view PDFs often enough to warrant that trick. So far, ever since Foxit was created I've looked at one PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 5 times here and probably relates to the 5 ads that are in the reg. First 3 ads were red and the last 2 were green. HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Foxit Reader - Mainframe. Here you should be able to see the ads which seem to be set to zero each time you untick "Advertisement".

CeeCee Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah, i already knew this. I still use the old (1.0) version as my default PDF reader. I have the newer version too, though. I don't work with PDF's that often. Edit: Well, i downloaded the latest Foxit reader and set it as my default .pdf reader.

I found those entries Humpty when I first searched the registry for a fix, and although I kept deactivating and activating the ad, and then refreshing regedits page, I couldn't see anything changing at all. The 1's stayed as 1's and the 0's stayed as 0's. Maybe I was looking for the wrong thing, so I tried a good old google search instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
