?Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is just a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.

?Text converter: You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
?High security and privacy: Foxit Reader highly respects the security and privacy of users and will never connect to the Internet without users' permission. While other PDF readers often silently connect to the Internet in the background. Foxit PDF Reader does not contain any spyware.
