Foxit Software heeft versie 10.0 van Foxit Reader uitgebracht. Dit alternatief voor Adobe Reader kan uitstekend overweg met de meeste pdf-documenten, maar complexe of zeer grote documenten vormen soms een iets te grote uitdaging. Voor computers met beperkte resources is het echter een uitkomst. Tegenwoordig kunnen documenten ook online in Foxit Cloud opgeslagen worden. In versie 10 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
New Features and Improvements:
- Fill & Sign
- Fill & Sign provides a convenient workflow of filling flat forms (i.e. non-interactive) and quick signing by typing or drawing your signature, or using an image. With the Fill & Sign tools, you can add text and other symbols anywhere on a flat form.
- Better support for 4K and other high-resolution displays.
- Automatically search all instances of a text string and then highlight them.
- More preference options for Advanced Search
- A new option to make subsequent searches faster by storing a cache of information from PDF files that you search.
- Support proximity searching, which searches for two or more words that are separated by no more than a certain number of words. The feature is useful when you are looking for concepts that might be expressed by multiple different phrases.
- More advanced options allow you to find words that share the same word stem of the specified search word, or ignore Asian character width, diacritics, and accents.
- Display all comments in a desired font for better accessibility
- Users can choose the desired font and font size for all comments in all documents they read, overriding the document’s settings.
- Additional GPO settings for enterprise administration (MSI package only)
- New capabilities include locking down some additional settings, such as default PDF viewer and ability to create self-signed digital IDs.
- More JavaScript support for complex form workflows.
- Support for using, not creating, the new form fields in PhantomPDF 10
- Field type support includes barcode, date, and image form fields.
- Multiple enhancements to bookmark editing and reading.
Issues Addressed

- Automatically approve updates for users to download, or restrict users to only download approved updates.
- Set times when all users, or specific users/groups, can download updates.
