Enhance PDF Handling with Foxit Reader
Open in Foxit Reader is a Firefox extension designed to streamline the process of opening PDF files directly in the Foxit Reader application. Once installed, users can easily access this functionality via a new option in the right-click context menu for PDF links. This feature allows for a more efficient workflow when dealing with PDF files, especially for those who prefer using Foxit Reader for its advanced capabilities.
To utilize this extension, it is necessary to configure it through the options page, where users can set it to automatically open PDF links with Foxit Reader. However, it is important to note that the extension first downloads the PDF file to the browser's default download directory before launching the reader, as Foxit Reader does not support direct access to remote PDF links. Additionally, a small native client must be installed on Windows, Linux, or Mac systems to facilitate communication with Foxit Reader.
