We use have our users' appdata folders redirected to the network server, using Windows Server's folder redirection feature, in order to speed up login times. With Foxit Enterprise Reader 5 this has caused no issues, and it opens in under 5 seconds. However when I tested Foxit Reader 6, I found that it takes 30 seconds to open with a wifi connection, 20 seconds to open with a wired connection. On the few accounts without appdata redirected, Foxit Reader 6 also opens quickly.
From looking at what files Foxit Reader is accessing while it loads, it looks as if this may be down to the time taken to load files like the skins from the appdata directory. One solution might be if we could disable loading of skins, as we do not need that feature.
I am currently looking at other PDF readers we could use instead, because I cannot upgrade to Foxit Reader 6 with this problem.
