Yesterday we’ve covered how to set Foxit Reader default Zoom to 100%, today we’re going to share another useful tip for Foxit Reader users -that is how to hide Start page and ad showed by Foxit. Foxit Reader by default on startup and when running shows its start page with two column layout for its products for promotional purposes- first one, History shows list of recently opened files and second, Phantom lists features of Foxit PhantomPDF standard and Business editions with an ad at left corner to “buy Foxit” (check the screenshot below).
Not over!, and when you’ve loaded more than two PDFs including Start Page, Foxit shows text ad for its products on extreme right on top, if you’ve found both start page and advertisement as unnecessary then you can disable them easily.
Hide or disable Foxit Reader Start page and advertisement in Application
1. From Edit menu select Preferences, you can also use the Ctrl+K shortcut instead to launch Preferences dialog
2. Once Preferences dialog window appears on screen, select “General” preference on left and on right below “Application Startup” uncheck for both “Show Start page” and “Show advertisement” options.
3. Click “OK” to save the changes to the application.
4. From now onwards, whenever you open Foxit Reader you’ll see grayed empty window on the screen and no ads will appear on extreme right side of window when PDFs were opened.
Happy PDF viewing..
