Been using Nitro since Speedy posted the original link -- Most things work OK -- Neither Foxit or Nitro, position the typing function 100% when filling out PDF forms though, you have to "juggle" where the cursor is put to get the text to line up :annoyed:

Still the same. Just a big ball of wibbly wobbly text.
Here's a picture of the print preview. Left is Nitro, Right is Foxit.

889270 2010-06-07 07:05:00 Same here, could be a good programme if they ever get it to work. :)

Still, it’d a beta version isn’t it?

Ok did install it late yesterday - must admit, it does have a few features that are real handy, like taking a PDF and converting it to plain text, easier to copy paste text that way then having to take screen shots (if required).



Foxit has a

"click to view this PDF document as a text file"

button...

889272 2010-06-08 04:04:00 Foxit has a

"click to view this PDF document as a text file"

button... Yep-- But its a pain in the Butt. If I take a 74 page Document and open it in foxit / text file mode, unless I highlight the page count down the bottom, it will only display one page at a time, instead of allowing scrolling.

The moment you click anywhere on the page you have to go back to the page count and start again at the page you want if scrolling is required.

Both programs have their good and bad points.
