The new version of Foxit Reader has a tabbed interface. This is a pretty sweet addition and it’s about time. Why doesn’t every application do this? The tabs are optional if you would rather have separate applications open.
Prior to installing the new version I decided to check the memory consumption of the old version by opening 3 different PDF files at once. As you can see below the total memory used is 32,388 K.
The memory usage of the new tabbed interface version with the same 3 files open was less: 25,548 K.
There are other new features in this version as well. The magnifier tool, shown below, is pretty nice. There is also a built in multimedia player for special multimedia e-books.
The only con that I’ve found so far is the ad that is located in the upper right-hand corner. This ad changes every once in a while and can be distracting.
