484274 2006-09-14 01:35:00 Hi Bob*. I downloaded this programme just for a look-see. An hour later Ad-Aware SE complained of a registry key malware and a check found a Diaremover problem. This was the only site visited for downloading anything in recent days - could be co-incidence...... Scouse (83)
484275 2006-09-14 03:04:00 Thanks for the heads-up Bob.

Just one thing... there are a few non-free add-on features. Weren't these free in the previous version?

The followings are several examples of non-free, advance add-ons:

* You can try out annotation tool for free. However when you save the annotated document, it will be stamped with an evaluation mark on the top-right corner of the annotated pages. If you purchase a Pro Pack add-on, then there will be no evaluation mark.
* Foxit Converter which allows you to convert non-PDF file into PDF file is non-free.
* Foxit Editor which allows you to modify contents of a PDF file is non-free.

I don't think so, the PDF editor at the bottom of your list was definitely not free since I use it to copy images from PDF's. Then again, I have been known to be wrong.
