    Foxit PDF Reader 4.2 Released


    September 29, 2010

    Foxit PDF Reader 4.2 is available. Changelog below.

       Warning
    Make sure you read the installation instructions very carefully if you don't want any Ask software installed along with it.

       Information


    • Verify the digital signature
      Foxit Reader 4.2 now features a PDF digital signature verification technology which uses an enhanced, yet ISO 32000 compliant, verification process that ensures the signature is real and neither the document nor the signature have been compromised. This new verification process provides a secure and reliable platform for exchanging electronics documents without putting the user at risk from falsified documents.
    • Enhance security with ASLR & DEP support
      Foxit Reader 4.2 continues to add features that increase security by making it harder for hackers to compromise a PDF document. The current version of the reader includes Address Space Layout Randomization, ASLR, which uses a random algorithm to determine a memory address used to store key file data. A second security feature is Data Execution Prevention, DEP, which simply prevents executing code from a non-executable memory location. ASLR and DEP combine to highly improve Foxit Reader Security and provide a stable platform for enterprise, business and consumer, Foxit Reader users.

    For those using the portable version (meaning it also doesn't come with the Ask toolbar), no need to download the new version. Just run the update from within Foxit (Help-Check for updates), and it will download and update the exe for you.
