(Disclaimer: This post was based on 64-bit Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and Foxit Reader 2. Voila! Foxit Reader is now the default application for your PDF documents. Use foxit.sh as the Default Application for PDF File (select any PDF file in Nautilus, Right-Click -> Properties -> Open With -> Click Button -> Browse for foxit.sh located in your home folder. #assuming you use the default installation folder for Foxit in WineĪpp='eval wine "C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" "'$Filename'"' # Purpose: To convert Linux-style filename to Windows-style to pass as an argument With it, users can create as well as annotate. Install it using the default settings.įirst save the following script as foxit.sh in your home directory How to install the Foxit reader on Linux The Foxit Reader is free PDF software for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
If you have not install Wine, you could read the tutorial HERE.Īfter you have Wine up and running, download the Windows version of Foxit Reader HERE. What we need to do next is to associate the PDF file to Foxit Reader through Wine in Nautilus (or other File Manager that you have). Although they have the Linux version, I don’t really like it because I don’t seem to be able to automatically open a PDF file with a single click from Nautilus (although I already set ReaderLinux as the default Application).īefore we proceed, I am assuming you already have Wine up & running, and have installed the Windows version of Foxit Reader. It’s fast, small and give you pretty much everything you need for a PDF Reader.
