Using F3 / Display PDF with Foxit

Post by magenta54 »

Hi,
can anyone explain in short words how I get Foxit Reader to Show PDFs when pressing Function Key F3 ?

I used eroiica before but it seems to have different bugs when showing PDFs ...

Options > Configuration > Viewers and editors > Vievers
Locate line with PDF extension. Edit the line (remove ";*.pdf").
Go to the last line and enter "*.pdf" (without quotes).
Select "Associated viewer" as External Viewer.
For command browse to the Foxit executable.
Let Arguments and Initial directory as is.
Move the PDF line up using the arrows on top right (or by using Alt+Up Arrow) so it takes a higher priority then *.* option.

Don't forget to close the viewer using ALT+F4 (I am not sure if ESC would work with FoxitReader as I am not using it and Adobe Reader won't close.

Thanks, I was nearly right but forgot to move this entry up in the list. Now it works, thanks.
