Opinions on Foxit PDF Viewer-has anyone used it recently?

Recently read about the Foxit PDF Viewer in a computer column and they said it was more reliable than Adobe. Any opinions on this would be appreciated. TIA

I just downloaded it to check it out--no auto paper select

The biggest drawback for me is that it doesn't automatically select paper size when printing. I know some who post here say they print everything on legal and encounter no problems with doing so, but I feel more comfortable printing the sizes as they come to me.

According to the info on this page, http://www.foxitsoftware.com/support/techsupport/index.html#faqreader, "Automatically select paper size when printing" is item #24 on the list of "most frequently asked feature requests," and has apparently been added to the developer's to-do list.

It does download and install easily, and I'll keep it to use if I run into a real problem with Adobe Reader for a particular document package.
