Foxit PDF printer gone after Foxit Reader upgrade

[AlexFer]

Foxit PDF Printer will not be added in Foxit Reader in the foreseeable future. Foxit PDF Reader will work as Reader only. Users are suggested using Foxit PDF Editor for creation purpose or free virtual printer like Microsoft's Print to PDF instead.

Given free competitor from Microsoft, I fail to see why FoxIT won't include theirs - doing so won't cannibalize sales. Offering a better product, even if free, is good advertising for the company.

AlexFer , Thanks for your comments and feedback. However, there is still no plan to add back the Foxit PDF Printer component back into Foxit PDF Reader in its recent R&D planning and Scheduling. In need of a PDF Printer for non-Editor users, as Doris has mentioned that we recommend using Microsoft's Print to PDF virtual printer. While not as robust as Foxit PDF Editor's Creator, it will help with basic PDF creation.

The GhostScript based free PDFCreator is a good alternative to make up for the deleted PDF creation functionality in the latest Foxit PDF Reader.
