Open in Foxit™ Reader for Google Chrome

Open in Foxit™ Reader

Open in Foxit™ Reader is a Chrome extension developed by lunu.bounir. It is a free program in the Browsers category, specifically in the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension simplifies the use of Foxit Reader to open PDF links.

With Open in Foxit™ Reader, users can easily send PDF links to Foxit Reader from the right-click context menu or the browser's action button. The extension provides a seamless experience for opening PDF files in Foxit Reader.

To use the extension, users can simply right-click on a PDF link and select the option to open it in Foxit Reader. Alternatively, they can click the action button on PDF pages to transfer the PDF file to Foxit Reader. The extension also offers customization options on the options page, allowing users to personalize how PDF links are opened with Foxit Reader.

It is important to note that because Foxit Reader cannot directly open remote PDF links, this extension first downloads the PDF file to the browser's default download directory and then activates the external PDF reader. Additionally, users need to install a small native client specific to this extension to establish communication with Foxit Reader. This client is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, but not with ChromeOS. It is also necessary to have Foxit PDF Reader installed on the device for the extension to work.

Please note that Open in Foxit™ Reader is an independent project and is not affiliated with Foxit Software, the company behind Foxit Reader. The extension serves as a tool designed to enhance the PDF reading experience.
