Hi, is it possible to download an earlier version of foxit reader? In the latest update the developer removed the possibility of making and editing bookmarks.

I'd recommend against it. Especially as PDF files are a known vector for malware (buffer overflows in image handlers, etc) so staying up to date is important. If you're bookmarking something you're reading, I'd suggest using something like calibre. If you need a specific version of Foxit, which version is it?

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thank you for your advice, and I totally agree with it. But it is a very important feature for me (and as I saw in Foxit's forum, it is important for others, too). I need the version before the latest, which is 2023.2, I think.
Thank you for your help

It's available here for the time being. If you don't want the platform to update it, you can rename the FoxitReaderPortable folder to FoxitReaderPortableOld or similar.

Hi,
As Foxit has removed the PDF creation function (creator) of Foxit Reader since version 10, I think the corresponding introduction should also be corrected on your website or posts. It's not a creator anymore. Otherwise, the wrong introduction will mislead users.
Thanks.
