If I named the PDF file in Chinese character, Foxit couldn't open it.

If I stored the PDF file (file named in Englsih character) in a folder
(folder named in Chinese character), Foxit still couldn't ope the file.


Do you meet this problem?

Thanks.

Foxit Reader (FR) is not compatible with Unicode. There are a lot of problems that result from that. I presume that any file that contains characters only available in Unicode will not be opened by FR. I tested this with the romanian letters Ș (S with comma : U+015E) and Ț (T with comma : U+021A). A file that contains these letters in the name will not be opened by FR, but could be opened with PDF X-Change or Adobe Reader. I say again that the developers of FR must make the software Unicode compatible as soon as possible.
