Remove Banner Ad From Foxit Reader
Recently, I wrote about Foxit Reader, the best PDF reader available. Since Adobe Reader uses lots of system resources, I prefer Foxit Reader over that. As you all know, Foxit Reader comes in two versions, free and a Pro version. A number of additonal features can be enabled in the Pro version.
The mini banner ad, in the top right corner, can be seen in the free version of Foxit Reader. That banner can be removed if you purchase the Pro version. Foxit Reader gives its users the choice to disable this banner from View > uncheck Advertisements. But for some reason, when you start Foxit Reader again, the ad comes back.
How To Remove Banner Ad From Foxit Reader
I have found a trick by which you can remove the banner ad forever! All you have to do is open Foxit Reader and uncheck Advertisement from the View menu. Close Foxit Reader. Again open Foxit Reader, and repeat the above process for about 2-5 times. My banner ad was removed after repeating it for 2 times.

This way to disable the adverts does not work anymore, they removed the ability to disable.
I’m going to pdf xchange, where they don’t do this kind of stupid stuff.
There’s plenty of other alternative readers out there as well with no adverts.
