I haven’t. My Windows use is limited these days so I haven’t kept up. Good to know about it, I try to take a look next time I’m on Windows.

Tbh Microsoft should just have a built in reader for the 99% case of viewing documents and filling out simple forms.

Windows 10 does have a build-in PDF reader - Microsoft Edge. Also Windows 10 includes the virtual "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer, so this issue isn't really much of a problem unless the user in question (who also runs Windows 10) is using some special features in the Foxit Reader's Print to PDF tool.

Agree. One of the best feature of macOS is preview.app. In over a decade, I’ve never needed another PDF viewer.

I used Foxit almost exclusively before I switched to Mac to avoid the bloat of Acrobat Reader. Sad to see it’s evolved the way it has.
