Software update: Foxit Reader 8.2.0

Foxit Software has released version 8.2 of Foxit Reader. This alternative to Adobe Reader works great with most PDF documents, but complex or very large documents can sometimes be a bit too much of a challenge. However, it is a godsend for computers with limited resources. Nowadays, documents can also be stored online in Foxit Cloud. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
