Foxit was good several years ago - no clue about recently

It's just as garbage nonsenseware as Adobe. I installed it recently on my friend's PC and holy shit, whatever happened to that small program. It went to the bin and Sumatra was installed instead.

What's it doing now? I've had it installed for a few years, and other than trying to install a trial of its premium software when it updates, I haven't noticed anything. I'm wondering if it's because I've turned something off and forgotten about it.

They ditched create-from-scanner function in some of updates of free version, or hid it somewhere. I treasured my old exe where it's still accessible.

Ah, ok, that's not something I'd ever used, so I didn't know it had been removed.

I don't remember exactly, but it's definitely quite a large installer with a lot of "extras" and IIRC they're pushing some cloud service too. I guess it's standard these days tho.

I saved the last version before they took out the pdf printer. Still not an editor. Used bluebeam for that. Though that was also bought out and being run into the ground.
