Foxit Software has released version 9.0 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. In version 9.0, the following changes and improvements have been made:
New Features
- Use single key accelerators to access commands or perform some actions, improving the application accessibility to make the reading and working with PDF files more accessible.
- Reflow a PDF file to temporarily present it as a single column that is the width of the document pane, which makes the document easier to read when magnified on a standard monitor, without scrolling horizontally to read the text.
- Find a command by typing the command name and bring features to your fingertips with ease.
- Provide a Help Center to help users search and find online help conveniently.
- Advanced protection – available in Foxit Reader (MSI package) only
- Protect your enterprise data using Windows Information Protection (WIP) to guard against the potential data leakage without otherwise interfering with the employee experience.
- Protect PDF files using the Microsoft PDF V2 IRM Specification.
- Enhance Foxit RMS protection to make the RMS-protected files compliant with PDF 2.0.
- Support bleed mark and overprint simulation
- Place a bleed mark at each corner of the bleed box to indicate the PDF bleed box boundaries during printing.
- Simulate overprinting effects for composite output.
- digital signatures
- Support to export digital IDs to .fdf files.
- Allow users to specify the font and font size and include the Foxit application version number while designing the appearance of a digital signature.
Improvements
- Comment improvements
- Summarize and export the highlighted text to a TXT file.
- Format the text in the comment pop-up box.
- Users can now track the comments that require further actions with new comment status – Deferred and Future, and filter comments by the original author.
- Advanced search
- Highlight all the text search results in PDF file.
- Search for instances that match any of the keywords.
- Streamline the PDF scan process and allow users to output the scanning results as a new PDF file or append it to an existing PDF file.
- PDF form enhancements
- View and print the 2D barcode in static XFA forms.
- Retain font properties when copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word into a text form field in Foxit Reader.
