Why Foxit?
Even though Ubuntu comes with a lot of great applications for working with PDFs, some functionality is not available in the programs installable through the standard repositories, and sometimes people just prefer something other than Evince, Kpdf, or Adobe Reader. Foxit is one of those programs.
How to Install Foxit
Paste these commands into the terminal:
Download Foxit
Find the latest at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/download.html
wget -c http://mirrors.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/1.1/enu/FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb
Install the .deb
sudo dpkg -i FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb
(or whatever version you've just downloaded)
If you've got a 64-bit machine, you'll need to:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb
n.b. -- this works fine for me, though I have installed a few 32 bit libraries.
Remove the original archive
After you test out that Foxit is working properly, you can remove the original .deb file you downloaded with the first command
rm FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb
Another advanced PDF application
PDFedit is also a popular advanced PDF program.
