When you launch Foxit Reader, by default it shows start page and advertisements on startup unless you’ve disabled them in Preferences, if you try to open Foxit PDF Reader in recently released Windows 8.1 you can get script error saying ‘Access is denied’ with URL pointing to ‘file:///C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Foxit%20Software/Foxit%20Reader/StartPage /start/en_us/js/jquery.min.js’, if you click Yes or No script Error again appears when you reopen Reader.
Disabling Script Error in Foxit Reader
1. Open Foxit Reader Preferences by using Ctrl+K shortcut or by selecting Preferences from File menu.
2. Preferences>General>Application Startup, uncheck ‘Show Start Page’
3. Click ‘OK’.
Now when you reopen Foxit Reader, script error no longer appears.
