I am using Foxit reader at home, but have quickly abandoned it in my job :
- There is no memorization of printing parameters, nor possibilities to setup in preferences. That is very important for the auto-rotate parameter when you frequently print plans, which are always in horizontal format. You should be able to setup 'autorotate' as default.

- When you open multiple files from a file explorer, Foxit open a new session for *each* file, instead of opening the new file in the existing session, which means that when you print on another printer than the default (for large plans, as above), you should redefine the printer (and the autorotate) for *each* file. That's tedious and a 'no go' for Foxit. :1_06:

- I have frequently very large files (say thousands pages), where I need a simple manner to go to a given page. An input field for page number where to go is really missing.

- A printing action passed to the system would be very interesting, allowing to print directly from the file explorer, without even opening foxit.

Hi, about the first two features, I think it will be available very soon.

Foxit Reader could be opened with a command line option. The command format for this is as below:

Path <file> - n [page number] - register/noregister

For example, if you wish to open a sample PDF named sample.pdf under drive C, with Foxit Reader saved under drive C also, to page 9, then you should type in: C:/foxitreader.exe sample.pdf - n 9

Option " - register" is to write Foxit Reader into your registry, and make Foxit Reader as your default PDF Reader. Vice versa, option "noregister" is to open Foxit Reader only, and won't write anything into your registry, nor will make Foxit Reader as your default PDF Reader.

About the fourth, we used to have this option. For certain reason, it was removed. It might be restored in the future depending on the decision of our design team.

It would be nice if the printing options for Scaling, Rotatation, etc. could be set under Preferences.
