Annoyances when opening online PDF's

[johnc]

Hi,

I just recently discovered Foxit and am I glad to get rid of that bloated adobe reader.

Anyways, does anyone know how to make Foxit open an online document as it is downloading? For example, I am using IE7 and I click to open a large pdf file (say about 10 MB). Is there a way so that Foxit immediately shows the parts it has downloaded instead of waiting for the entire download to finish before showing anything (kind of like streaming a document)? Adobe reader could do this and I hope Foxit can as well since it speeds things up because I can read the first couple pages while the rest of the document loads.

Secondly, I don't know if it is a bug but if I am reading an online pdf and iconize the window, when I maximize it again, it always goes back to page 1. It would be nice if it remembered where I was. For pdfs on my harddrive, this problem does not exist, it only happens for pdfs downloaded from the internet and opened within IE7.

I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 if that helps.

Thank you,
John

Hello John,

The first question, this fast web view technology hasn't be applied to current Foxit Reader.

The second, would you please give me a link for testing?

Here is a link to a blackberry manual I was reading.

Also, I just discovered that the problem disappears if I change the zoom level. For example, if I simply open the document and start reading, minimize/maximize will put me back at page 1. However, if change the zoom at any time (even if I zoom out and then zoom back in to the original level), minimize/maximize will open to where I was.

I'm not sure what causes this and maybe it is a bug you could pass along to the developer.

I have no this problem. I will forward to the testing team for a testing...
