Is there a 64-bit Foxit Reader version for Windows 10?

[username331]

I was going though the Program Files folder on my computer and I discovered that the Foxit Reader which is installed on my PC is a 32-bit software.
Is there any reason why a 64-bit version is not available as of now? Otherwise, does Foxit plan to release a 64-bit PDF Reader in the future or?

Sorry, currently we only have a 32-bit Foxit Reader, but it can be installed 64-bit system and 32-bit system.

Thank you for your quick response.
As a matter of fact, 32-bit softwares can be installed on a 64-bit system. Nevertheless, that is somewhat very limited. Can I make this thread count as a feature request? I would really be interested to see a 64-bit of Foxit in the future releases.

I just switched to Foxit Reader as Adobe Reader was no longer working with FileMaker Pro to display PDF images. Installing Foxit and that resolved the issue. However I am concerned going forward. Filemaker is 64-bit and normally interacting programs have to be 64bit as well. A 64-bit version does need to be deployed.

Since literally all new computers are shipped with 64-bit CPUs, it is beneficial to shift writing programs into 64-bit in order to fully leverage the benefits of 64-bit hardware. If you are using 64 bit operating system and install software of 64 bit, you can up-front notice the increase in performance. The advantage of having a 64-bit application is that it can access much more memory and perform 64-bit register operations (Performing a 64-bit operation on a 64-bit operating system is faster than performing it on a 32-bit operating system - it would take at least 2 32-bit operations to perform the same thing).
