With Foxit Reader you will, in my opinion, get a better performing and less bloated PDF Viewer, compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and it’s just as easy, or maybe easier, to deploy and customize compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
This guide I will show you how to install an alternative PDF Viewer from Foxit. My point of view is of course based on how the application behaves in a non-persistent and/or multi-user environment and general functionallity. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and versions before DC (11.x, 10.x, 9.x), has become bloated with features most users will never need, especially the online features are almost useless, at least from my point of view. However there are other PDF viewers out there, better viewers in my opinion. This guide is very detailed and if you are in need of performing an unattended deployment of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, this is probably the only guide you will need. A few weeks ago I came across blog post by Carl Webster on a guide on how to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
