Software Reviews by altered7th

Foxit's claim that the free version of their utility will convert PDF to TXT is not entirely true. The 'save as txt' file menu tells you this feature is not enabled on the free version. In order to do this you have to buy ($39US) the Foxit Reader Pro Pack. Text can be copied and pasted from the free version of Foxit into Notepad, but there are word-wrap problems when doing so. Ditto if you're pasting into MS Word. Other than that, Foxit appears to do everything else advertised, and do it well. It's inability to convert PDF to TXT is the only thing preventing me rating the application as 'excellent'. If anybody from Foxit reads this, you might like to re-word your brief for the free version (both here and at your site). As it stands, it's very misleading. Price: Free
