Tips:
1. You can open more than one PDF document within the same Foxit PDF Editor
application. When you open more than one file at a time, you can navigate the PDF
files easily by clicking the corresponding tabs. If you only open one PDF, the tab will
not be shown. While reading PDF documents, you can right-click a file tab in the tab
bar, and choose Open Containing Folder to open the directory of the file, or
choose Copy Path to Clipboard to copy the file path to the clipboard.
2. In Recent Documents tab, Computer tab, or cloud service tab (like Google Drive
tab), you can right-click any file or folder, and then choose the corresponding option
from the context menu to open the file/folder, pin the file/folder to list, remove the
file/folder from the list, or copy the path of the file/folder to clipboard. To pin or
unpin a file or folder, you can also hover the cursor over a file or folder and click
the Pin icon or Unpin icon alternatively.
3. To customize the number of documents or folders in the recently used list, please
navigate to File > Preferences > History.
4. When adding a Google Drive or Dropbox account, you will be guided to sign in to
the service in your system default browser. Please follow the on-screen instructions
to sign in and authorize the access in your browser first, and then you can open
and work with PDF files in Google Drive or Dropbox from within the application.
Open PDFs from Desktop or within Other Applications
If you set Foxit PDF Editor as your default viewer for PDF files, you are able to launch
and open PDF files in the following applications:
 Email Application: in your email applications, you can double-click the attachment
icon to open the document.
 Web Application: you can open a PDF document by clicking on the PDF file link in
your web browser. In a web browser, Foxit PDF Editor will display PDFs in Read
Mode by default, hiding the toolbars to maximize the document pane. You can
right click the document pane and uncheck Read Mode to show the toolbars and
work on PDFs as desired. Also, you can view the PDF content embedded in the
HTML. For security purposes, if you try to open an AIP-protected PDF file in your
web browser, the file will be opened in the stand-alone Foxit PDF Editor (desktop
application) outside the browser.
 File System: double-click the PDF file icon in your file system.
