My experience with Foxit has been as good as it can be expected,
and NO toolbar. If you want to use a good and light PDF reader that works smooth then DL Foxit without the toolbar using the MSI installer(third installer down the list). http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/download.php This installer is like a slim version with NO chances whatsoever of getting the toolbar installed.

There has been a change at the Foxit website because of a update,
and I don't see the slim installer (no toolbar) anymore so be careful. Bo |
I would say if somebody needs a software (only a small list is available for now) without all the crapware (Read ASK :mad:) then you can try this: http://ninite.com/
This is sort of a repackaging service using silent switches, they make sure that they take off all the crapware while doing so (i last tested it a month back :rolleyes:). |

My local newspaper has this:
Free PDF reader released to take on Adobe. ... Nitro PDF Reader was available for download online at nitroreader.com Caution: I haven't been there, haven't done that :p |
I agree entirely with you all as regards Ask toolbars: they are like a disease. That said, how is installing Foxit or any other Ask afflicted ware any different to going to the supermarket? I get my stuff, go to the checkout and i am offered stuff i don't want .
Q "Do you want the computers for schools vouchers sir?" A "No." Q "Do you have a loyalty card sir?" A "No" Q "Do you want a loyalty card sir?" A "No" Q "Do you wish me to pack your shopping sir?" A "Do what?" Q "Your shopping sir, would you like me to pack it?" A "Umm...would you like to pack it?" Q "It would be my pleasure sir" A "Then no...i have no interest in pleasuring you" And so on. I just installed Foxit a week or two ago, and i did it carefully using custom install, and i said No where appropriate. I have no Ask toolbar, no links to ebay, nothing but Foxit. If i stopped using supermarkets because they offer me stuff i don't want i would have nowhere to shop. I understand why you guys don't want Foxit but for me unchecking a box or two is a small price to pay for an app that does what i need it to. |

Even if you miss the check boxes to not install the Ask search bar or addon, you can always go back and remove them and/or uninstall them later. You can do this without touching Foxit Reader.
