We have a lot of high res drawings (A0, 10-1,500mb) and Foxit is a lot faster at rending them than Adobe Reader.

We still use Acrobat Standard for some uses, very good program, well worth £250.

Used Foxit for a while, but then it did something I didn't like (can't remember what though). So now I use Sumatra PDF instead.

Use it here, Much lighter on system resources i think.

I used Foxit in the past but got fed up with the increasing bloatedness of Foxit, something contrary to its "philosophy". So I tried Adobe again and I can't really tell any difference between Adobe and Foxit, despite Foxit claiming to be better. So I just use Adobe now.

I use foxit, but the only reason I have it is for motherboad manuals etc...

html manual would be much better imo..

I still really don't understand *pdf as a format. It's an annoying and often heavy one.

I'm a fan of Foxit for merely viewing PDFs, but for printing, some larger documents simply won't work on any printer we use - it'll get to a certain point and just stop printing, regardless of which printer it is or the manufacturer - so for computers other than my own, Adobe Reader is back on. Which makes me feel dirty... but it does work.
