[Feature Request] Foxit Reader Portable

[bmn]

I would like an official portable version of Foxit Reader that can be run from anywhere and stores settings to an INI file.

It would also be great to include Foxit Reader with PortableApps.Com's Platform, which also really only has the same requirement, that settings be saved in an .ini file in the same directory as Foxit's executable.

Also, it would be great to see this on the Research in Motion's Blackberry platform.1

Thank,

Is there any progress with this? Here are the leftovers from the standalone (ZIP) version as of v3.1.2:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software]
; [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software]Foxit Reader]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FoxitReader.Document]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FoxitReader.FDFDoc]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{14E8BBD8-1D1C-4D56-A4DA-D20B75EB814E}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FoxitReader.Document]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A43F4073-BEBD-4142-B590-27A74384620B}]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fdf]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.fdf]
; [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf]
; [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf]
; [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/pdf]

(the bottom 3 are only used when answering "yes" to associate PDF files. They are commented out because they're not supposed to be deleted.)

So basically, if Foxit Reader didn't touch any of the above keys, it would be portable just like that. That's it.

Preferably, it also shouldn't ask the user to associate PDF files. Or at least rename "yes" to "yes, and I do realize this is irreversible".
