What's more, according to the PKGBUILD's standard[1], foxiterader is a self-contained package, which should be installed to /opt, AFAIC. I've worked out a PKGBUILD (and patch) based on yours here[2]. Take it if you like :) [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards#Directories [2] https://github.com/zsrkmyn/pkgbuilds/tree/master/foxitreader

There are still lots of redundant '.svn' directories and '.directory' files in the package. I suggest to use `cd "$pkgdir"; find -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} +; find -name .directory -exec rm -rf {} +` to remove them.

@jorgedcc: After searching online a bit, I decided to post regarding this font issue on the official Foxit forums. I'll update my comment here if/once they get back on how to set the default application font. I'm using xfce4 but I don't think the solution would be any different on another DE like Cinnamon. http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/forum/portable-document-format-pdf-tools/foxit-reader/162504-foxit-reader-application-font-on-linux

I managed to update to v2.3.0.2174 by changing the .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD files. But, Muflone, could you keep this package updated please?

**EDIT:** Never mind I'm installing qt-installer-framework now with makepkg. I just don't understand why the foxitreader package doesn't do this for me. Thanks for this package. What's up with the qt-installer-framework dependency?

Can you input Chinese character with fcitx input method? I failed to active the input method in the program.

On Linux Foxit Reader is associated to *every* file type. If a file type does not have a default application, it opens with Foxit Reader. Since Foxit is a PDF viewer, open a non-PDF file with it causes an error. To avoid Foxit Reader to be associated to every file type, the MimeType entry in FoxitReader.desktop msut be modified from MimeType=application/pdf;application/octet-stream; to MimeType=application/pdf; Here is an updated patch to fix this annoying bug: http://pastebin.com/0Ggygssd
