   EV>I have been using the FOXIT PDF Reader for some time now and liked it   
   EV>until this last Update.   
      
   EV>When I start FoxIt my software Firewall, Fort Knox, says FoxIt wants to   
   EV>contact a amazon URL, I deny that one and another one shows up.   
      
   EV>After I have denied a few of them to get past the Firewall I finally   
   EV>will just drag the Firewall Popup over to the corner of the screen to   
   EV>get it out of the way of what I was wanting to read, and I don't click   
   EV>any more buttons, I just let it sit in its corner and move it if I want   
   EV>to see what it is covering up.   
      
   EV>I don't see the need for Amazon to know I am using the Free Foxit PDF   
   EV>Reader.   
   EV>I didn't go through Amazon to Buy it, I Updated/downloaded the Free   
   EV>version directly from FoxIt's web site.   
      
      
   That is interesting. I am using the latest version, 7.0.3.916 and my   
   copy does not do that.   
      
   I also have Nitro but only use it for it's convient Text or Picture   
   extraction from a PDF.
