If someone knows how to disable this fuckery, please tell me or i have to install adobe acrobat, it makes me crazy as it floats on all the open PDFs, covering text/content
Did nobody learn from Clippy?! At least make it a purple gorilla ffs.
I still use Foxit 9.72 on my pc (which I don't have open ATM, so I can't check to be certain I gave the right version). I have tried newer versions, but there always was some kind of enshittyfication change that annoyed me and I always reverted back to that last good version.
There is no good PDF reader. All of them suck in different ways.
I just use Firefox to open pdfs. If I have to sign it I'll just use an online signer.
You're fine uploading those documents online to some random website?
I do the same, except jump to adobe reader if I have to sign. But come on, this doesn’t satisfies either of us.
As a Linux user, I was rather surprised to learn that Windows doesn't have a good pdf viewer. (Sumatra was the closest I could get.) Scientific software I can understand, but pdf viewer? Wtf?
I'm on Windows 11 and it opens PDF files in Edge by default. While I find it kind of silly to use a web browser for that purpose, the built-in PDF reader is actually fairly good, it can even read your documents out loud using text-to-speech.
Edge’s reader is decent I agree. But in what kind of bizarro world do one use a browser to read PDFs.
It pains me to say, but this is one area where Apple beats everyone. Their default PDF reader can do a LOT, it’s free, it’s already there and crucially it’s lightweight and not bogged down with shitty functionality no one needs, nor bristling with upsell towards premium features.
Indeed, Preview really is excellent. Does almost everything you'll ever need and nothing you don't.
Use SumatraPDF or Okular
Another good option on Windows is PDF XChange Editor, though I'm using an old version so I can't vouch for how much or little enshitification has happened in newer versions
This has been my favourite for pdfs so far, really easy to use. Wish there was an app version.
Adobe PDF is also good if you know where to get it for free. I esp. rely on the editing feature of Adobe PDF. Has saved me so much hassle to edit PDF files cleanly.
Hey Moonrise2473, Do you still have this issue? I opened foxit today and was reminded of your post. I figured out how to get rid of the "AI assistent" and "support centre".
go to file>preferences
image (sorry, I don't have time right now to figure out how to insert images properly)
(below the arrow in this image is the "disable support centre" button for the other floaty thing)
Then restart foxit and it's gone!!
eventually i got rid of it by checking "disable all features that need an internet connection"
i would't have imagine that the ai assistant was placed in "application startup"
