Primarygun Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hello, I'm a firefox user. I'd like to change my default pdf reader from Adobe Reader to Foxit Reader. How can I do this? Foxit reader offers a neater and faster way compared to Adobe reader though the latter offers more functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Demosthenes- Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Open foxit reader, then goto "help" and the first option in that drop down menu is "use foxit as default reader" or something like that. Way to go with Foxit reader. Way smaller program, and no annoying adobe down loader utility that tries to update ever 34 seconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god, I hate the adobe reader updater!! I didn't realize there was a .pdf alternative, though. This makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You can disable Adobe Updates. On WinXP: Start Run msconfig Startup tab Oh, Abode Update isn't there for me anymore! In that case for Abode Reader 6 open it up, go to the Edit menu, Preferences, then select Updates. You can then change the updates to manual.

weknowthewor Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think you uninstall Adobe reader and install Foxit reader as it now becomes your primary pdf reader... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
