What is Open in Foxit™ Reader?

"Open in Foxit™ Reader" is a Chrome extension that simplifies the process of reading PDFs by allowing users to send PDF links directly from their browser to Foxit Reader. After initial download to the default directory, the PDF is opened in Foxit Reader. A native client (compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS) facilitates this extension's communication with the external PDF reader. Please note, Foxit Reader software needs to be installed separately. This extension is unaffiliated with Foxit Software.

This extension simplifies the use of Foxit Reader to open PDF links.

How to Use:

Use the right-click context menu item to direct PDF links to Foxit PDF Reader.
Click the action button on PDF pages to transfer the PDF file to Foxit PDF Reader.
On the options page, customize the extension settings to open PDF links with Foxit Reader.

Notes:

Because Foxit Reader cannot directly open remote PDF links, this extension initially downloads the PDF file to your browser's default download directory and then activates the external PDF reader.
To establish communication with Foxit Reader, install a small native client specific to this extension. This client is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. ChromeOS is not supported.
Ensure you have Foxit PDF Reader installed on your device. This extension only simplifies Foxit Reader integration with your browser and does not perform the installation.
