I always disable "View PDF in browser" so that the PDFs open in a pure Foxit window. Would that work for you? FYI Foxit settings used to be stored in FoxitReader_Preferences.ini in the same folder as the "Foxit Reader.exe" but it appears that as of v3 they're in the registry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\] -- you need to add the following two reg key values to toggle this permanently, as apparently turning it off in Ctrl-K (Preferences) isn't sticky: ======================================= Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\MainFrame] "ShowAd"="0" "DisplayInBrowser"="0" ======================================= The "ShowAd" line has the advantage of turning off the advert "pain" ;-) After you do this, these two settings are sticky even through an update.
