Reader improvement list

[sumsum]

Hi there,

I recently came across you PDF Reader, great job. Especially the Typewriter function is sooo far ahead compared to Adobe!

However, while testing foxit Reader, I stumbled over a few issues:

Readability:
Adobe Reader 5/6/7 have a much better anti-aliasing. In Foxit Reader, text seems to be too bold to be readable on screen. Take a look at the screenshots...

Search dialog:
Adobe Reader 7 has this great new search function which show all results in a list. Maybe Foxit Reader can implement something similar. Furthermore, the search window disappears everytime you click "Find Next". If you are searching something in big document, it is really annoying to have to reopen that dialog over and over again.

Open multiple documents:
Unfortunaltely, the Foxit Reader open dialog window does not allow multiple file selection. Furthermore, when you select multiple PDF files in a Windows Explorer windows and you hit "enter", Foxit Reader won't open the documents in ONE program window, but one for EACH file. Not a good idea and bad for performance, I think.

Print Settings:
Print setting in the Print dialog window such as printer selection, print handing, etc. should be kept until you close Foxit Reader. I the latest version, you have to re-set those settings EVERYTIME you reopen the print dialog. Kind of cumbersomely when printing a lot.

Printing selected pages:
Why hasn't any PDF viewer implemented a "print the following page numbers: 1;3-5;10;11"-function, yet??? (See MS-Word print dialog, for example) I know so many people who would just love to see such a function. Could be the killer function for your Foxit Reader :1_30:

Print bug:
There still seems to be some glitch in the print function. I cannot exactly remember what the cause was, but Foxit Reader crashed on me a couple times last. I will try to reproduce the behavior and post it here...


So please don't get me wrong here: I am not complaining! But perhaps those points can help improve Foxit Reader even more... :1_01:

Thanks for your list. I have forwarded your list to our developers.

Hello, this foxit reader works great. But I have troubles in reading texts too and am getting tired eyes. The readability of texts and even images (scanned text out of newspapers) is much worse compared with acrobat reader and I would be glad to get improvements. Thanks

Also got problems with printing sometimes, but there is no way to clearly reproduce it.
One thing after printing a few files with both reader from foxit and adobe it seems like foxit is printing the images in lower resolution than adobe.
One thing I miss while printing is a progress bar...
