On Linux Foxit Reader is associated to *every* file type. If a file type does not have a default application, it opens with Foxit Reader. Since Foxit is a PDF viewer, open a non-PDF file with it causes an error. To avoid Foxit Reader to be associated to every file type, the MimeType entry in FoxitReader.desktop msut be modified from MimeType=application/pdf;application/octet-stream; to MimeType=application/pdf; Here is an updated patch to fix this annoying bug: http://pastebin.com/0Ggygssd

Hello, Like @nickmcummins, I would also like to change the default font used by Foxit Reader, I'm using cinnamon DE. Can someone point me where I can change it? Thanks,

cd /usr/lib/foxitreader/ sudo chmod 0777 configtoolbar.xml ;)

Here is a patch to update to version 2.2.1025: http://pastebin.com/31VHugi9 On startup, however, this version of Foxit Reader complains several times about a failure to open /usr/lib/foxitreader/configtoolbar.xml and the toolbar looks somewhat distorted. It looks like it tries to open this file for writing.

If you are finding the download speeds slow. Edit the PKGBUILD and change the links from cdn01 to cdn09 https://help.foxitsoftware.com/kb/download-speed-is-too-slow.php?lang=de-de

I found a fix for the monospace problem: in KDE5 there's no KDEHOME variable in the environment and defining it(i.e. by making `alias foxit='KDEHOME=~/.kde4 foxitreader` solves it. On the other hand, there's another thing: There's simple way to solve problem with "connectedpdf" nags, it's necessary to rename /usr/lib/foxitreader/fxplugins directory to anything else - like stated in http://do-the-right-things.blogspot.com/2016/08/remove-nagware-from-foxit-reader-linux.html

Thanks, it works very fine!

Is there a way to change the default application font? Foxit seems to be defaulting to my default fixed-width (monospace) font for the application font, which looks pretty bad and non-uniform with all other applications I use. There doesn't seem to be a preference to set it.. does anyone know if there is a way to override the default application font?
