first opened. This value overrides document settings. The default uses the
settings of the PDF document.

Setting reading preferences
Page Vs Document: This preference determines how much of a document is
delivered to a screen reader at a time. If a PDF isn’t tagged, Foxit Reader
may analyze the document and attempt to infer its structure, which can
take a long time for a long document. You may want to set Foxit Reader to
deliver only the currently visible page so that it analyzes only a small piece
of the document at a time. This consideration will vary depending on the
size and complexity of the document and on the features of the screen
reader.
A. Only read the currently visible pages - This option is usually best when
using a screen magnifier. It improves performance by eliminating the
need for the software to process parts of the document that aren’t visible.
When Foxit Reader sends only the currently visible pages of a PDF to the
memory buffer, the assistive technology has access to those pages only.
It cannot go to another page until the next page is visible and Foxit
Reader has sent the page information to the memory buffer. Therefore,
if this option is selected, you must use the navigation features of Foxit
Reader, not those of the assistive technology, to navigate from page to
page in the document. You should also set the Default Page Display
option in preferences to Single Page if you choose to have Reader send
only the currently visible pages to the assistive technology. For
instructions on setting the default page display to Singe Page, see
“Setting page display preferences”.
B. Read the entire document - This option can be best if you use a screen
reader that has its own navigation and search tools and that is more
familiar to you than the tools in Foxit Reader.
C. For large documents, only read the currently visible pages - This option
is selected by default and is usually best if you use a screen reader with
long or complex PDFs. It allows Foxit Reader to deliver an entire small
document but revert to page-by-page delivery for large documents.
Minimum number of pages in a large document – When the “For large
documents, only read the currently visible pages” option is selected, it
