Hello,

Tonight, I can't open a PDF file directly with Foxit Reader; I need to save it first. It was working fine at noon, and now nothing works. I went into Firefox tools, but the right boxes are checked. I toggled them and set them so that PDF files open, but it's impossible. What should I do to fix this? I cleaned it with CCleaner, ATF, and I haven't done any other scans.
Thank you

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 8.0.1

Hello,

Go to the control panel, programs and features, uninstall Foxit Reader, Foxit Reader Toolbar, and Ask Toolbar.

Restart the PC, go to: C\programs and delete --> Foxit Software.

Run CCleaner as an administrator for a good cleaning.

Download and install --> Foxit Reader

During the installation, uncheck the toolbar and ask.

After the installation, sometimes the toolbar installs, so go to programs and features and uninstall the Foxit Reader toolbar if you do not want it.

To get French on Foxit Reader, go to this --> link

In select product, choose the version --> 4.0.0.0619
In French, right-click on --> download lang_fr_fr.xml
Save it to the desktop.
Then, on the desktop, copy the file --> download lang_fr_fr.xml and paste it into the directory --> C\programs\foxit software\foxit reader

After that, open Foxit Reader
Tools
Preferences or Settings
Languages, check: choose language
Select French and OK.

Then, click on help and click on set as default PDF viewer.

Finally, on the desktop, you can delete the file download lang_fr_fr.xml

Edit: If it doesn't work, in PDF select --> always ask.

Good evening kaneagle

Thank you for your help, I did what you told me, but it's the same as before, you see, it still wants to save in the folder I requested, except that in Firefox the box is not checked in tools, options, and general, I have to save it and then I can open the file without going to where it is saved, I don't know if you understood what I wrote to you, it's possible that it comes from my browser, it's the same with Adobe
Thank you

Hello kaneagle

Yes, that's right, it was Adobe by default, but it wouldn't open either, so I did what you wrote and selected everything that was Adobe in Foxit Reader and it works perfectly
Thanks for your help
See you later
