Question for Mike M, Foxit

Heather (from another newsgroup) suggested that I pose my question he

When a .pdf link is provided as a response to a Google search (for example)
Adobe Reader is able to open and display it directly. I did not have such
luck with Foxit. Or does Foxit require that the link be loaded into memory
before it can see it? If I totally remove Adobe Reader from the computer,
but retaining Foxit, will this work?

Many thanks,

Ken Bland

You can only have one application associated with files with a PDF
extension although more than one of the applications you have installed
may have that capability. Changing that application to Foxit should solve
your problem. No need to remove Acrobat.

Thanks, Mike. I wasn't sure how to answer Ken's question, but I did
have a couple of my own.

I got rid of Adobe 6.0.1 and now have Foxit only on here. While I was
looking for an answer to Ken's question, I hit 'update' and there were
about 4 or 5 plugin type things. One was to do with Java, IIRC. Did
you download all of those??

Cheers.....Heather

PS......for those who might want to reload Adobe Reader 6, it is
available on www.oldversion.com .. along with a whole truckload of
newer old versions of things.
Direct link is http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=acrobat
