Foxit Reader 2.0 Build 1516 Released

[william]

This new release fixes the bug that some password-protected PDF files are displayed as blank pages
It also reduces the time to print those PDF file generated by scanning to non-PostScript printers.
Some other minor bugs are also fixed in this new release.

hey william,

The "toolbar customization is reset to default after foxit is used in browser [IE7]" bug is still there in this build.

The prog stores the toolbar settings in this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\DockState_PRO

When the program is only used as standalone, everything is fine, toolbar customization is remembered after closing / reopening Foxit.

But as soon as a PDF is opened in a browser (IE7, etc...), then this key is reset to default.

So we need to recustomize the toolbar each time after using Foxit embedded in browser.

Please by all means fix this bug. A few lines of code i hope!
Thank you,

TSR

What about tabbed interface option?
What about remembering print settings?
What about Print from command-line / right click print command?
What about the option to print different pages i.e. a field in the print interface to input "1-3,6,8"?
What about the option to disable IE browser integration?

Most of these items have been promised multiple times over the last two or so years, but the promises have never actually been kept.

"Some other minor bugs are also fixed in this new release."

Which ones? Can you name them so that I can test it ?

A proper changelog would be appreciated in the future.

A friend couldn't print with a version I gave her 2 months ago (she has vista). I installed latest version yesterday and the error did not appear. I don't know what the error was before. Hopefully it was fixed.

I second the ChangeLog idea.
"Just happened" to vist the website to see if there were any updates.
There were, so installed and . . . voila . . . I can now open those password protected PDFs properly (no more blank pages). Wish I knew that earlier.

Even something as simple as a locked-barring-moderator thread for "Announcements" would work - we can subscribe to it and get "instant notification" email.

I just use Help>>Check For Updates Now... occasionally when I have Foxit open.
