PDF Foxit Reader has dumped their Classic Toolbar Mode!!!!!!!!!!!

#1 Post by RealBlackStuff » Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:39 am

WARNING:
if you like the Classic Toolbar Mode in Foxit Reader, DO NOT UPDATE TO 7.3.0.118
Because they have completely dumped the Classic Toolbar Mode! :evil:
All they have left now are those sh!tty ribbon displays like in M$ Office!

The last Foxit Reader that still had this Classic Toolbar Mode was Version 7.2.8.1124

Solution if you have Version 7.2.8.1124 or older, and want to keep this Classic Toolbar:
- in Foxit Reader, go to Edit/Preferences/Updater and tick the option: "Do not download or install updates automatically"

Solution if you have Version 7.3.0.118 already:
- UNinstall Foxit Reader completely
- if you have Heimdal Security, click on PATCHING SYSTEM and UNtick AUTOUPDATE for Foxit Reader.
- go to e.g.: http://filehippo.com/download_foxit/64763/ to get Foxit Reader 7.2.8.1124 with Classic Toolbar
- install it
- go to View/UI Options/Change Toolbar Mode and click on "Classic Toolbar Mode"
- go to Edit/Preferences/Updater and tick the option: "Do not download or install updates automatically"

Filehippo has been pushing their own downloaders on users which can't be trusted. Source file elsewhere.

Also might I suggest Sumatra PDF as an alternative?
T540p, T420s (soon to be T420ps :) ), X61t, T60p, T42p, A21p

Where's that coming from?
If you click on Download This Version... you get a proper Foxit-download, NOT a Filehippo-downloader!
(I use PaleMoon browser with Adblock Latitude).
