Hi ttuuxxx,
I just discovered that the "Fit Width" Page Scaling print-option in Foxit Reader doesn't seem to work on documents that are wider than the paper-size I am printing to. I have successfully printed the centre section of a number of wider-than-A4 documents onto A4 paper!
Once I figured out what was happening I clicked on the adjacent down-arrow, then manually set the width to 70% in the list that came up. The document printed onto A4 fine then, but if you haven't already submitted your comments to the devs you might like to mention it
It's no big deal, as I rarely come across a PDF that's larger than A4, and I always print just the first page of anything to check it prints OK, so I only lose one sheet of paper each time, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
Of course, it's perfectly possible that I've misunderstood what "Fit Width" means. If it means "Fit the document to the Width of the original" then I plead guilty and nothing is wrong. However, I do vaguely recall that when I used Foxit Reader in MS Windows 98 last year, it didn't seem to behave in this way. Unfortunately I can't check anything at all in MS Windows these days
Regards,

Foxit Reader fixed for puppy and now Chinese/Japanese/korean
The program worked fine for me under the following system:
PIII 550 mhz / 384 MB Ram, Puppy 4.0, Nvidia MX-420 graphics.
I did think that the WIN32 version of Foxit ran a little faster under WINE, though.

Code: Select all
# wget --http-user=puppy --http-password=linux -c http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/programs/documents/FoxitReader1.0-1.pet
Running Puppy 4.20
I downloaded FoxitReader1.0-1.pet. Fortunately, I found it on this forum and had read the comments before installing, and I learned from Mr. Toads experience, except my setup uses Xvesa not Xorg.
Mr. Toad wrote
"Just in case anyone else finds Foxit vanishes after trying to load a file... I changed my Xorg colour depth from 16 bits to 24 bits and everything was then fine."
With 16 bits mode, running the program in the terminal rendered a similar message as Mr. Toad 's computer.
# /usr/share/Foxit/FoxitReader
(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: The gdk_draw_*_image require the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap
(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 16
Gdk-ERROR **: The program '\xe8\xd7a\u0008tReader' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 3034 error_code 8 request_code 70 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Aborted
The computer has no problem running 24 bits color. My question is has a fix been made for this bug?

Anyone can upload the file to another host? It is missing. Thanks.
