Night Mode: Foxit Reader has got dark mode. If you’re a night owl, to reduce eye strain the company has added Night mode feature and is available under View tab to enable. Activate it and see all PDFs with a black background. Once activated, the feature will be applied for PDF documents in all tabs and Windows.

Since Foxit Reader like Adobe Reader and Sumatra PDF, offers Tabbed interface, the latest update allows you to drag out a tab to create new separate window, useful if you’re more tabs open.

You can now print multiple PDF documents including attachments in them such as TXT, PDF, image, and Microsoft Office files at once in Foxit Reader.

Launch the application, click File, and choose ‘Batch Print’, browse and add files, click OK.

If you want all opened PDF documents in Foxit Reader to be printed, select the option available in the Print dialog.

Other improvements offered with this update are:

  • Batch edit properties of multiple bookmarks from the context menu
  • Select multiple Pages by selecting multiple page thumbnails Shift/Ctrl+Arrow in Pages Panel.

Foxit Reader for every first PDF file you open in a session, shows ‘Welcome Foxit’ to let the user know about features the product offers, which may annoy you, here is how you can turn that off.

Click on File > Preferences > General, scroll to down to the bottom, and under ‘Application Startup’, uncheck ‘Show floating Promotion Page’.

Click ‘OK’ to apply the changes.
