Hi I just noticed that foxit reader can't open 1040 us tax form.

This is a big problem. Why this happens?

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf opens with no problem for me. Is your Foxit Reader and all of the free plugins fully updated?

OK, it works now. I needed to install the javascript update for interactive forms etc. But the update said that it was not required to view interactive form and thats why i did not update. Perhaps foxit should mention that otherwise people might get confused with foxit's capability. may be that can be included in foxit reader.

In this time of year, many people will try tax forms and will not open in foxit without that update/plug-in. Most of them will not come to this forum for help and rather discard foxit, use adobe.
