Microsoft AJAX Library Cheat Sheets: Foxit Reader Repack

First off, thank you, guys, for all the feedback! A number of you pointed out that Foxit Reader wasn’t displaying embedded fonts. I guess the PDF writer for Word 2007 embeds them in some odd way. I ended up using PrimoPDF which produced PDFs agreeable to Foxit Reader. I also noticed the downloadable went from 1Mb to 235K!

PDF meets XPS

Mike Weerainghe also suggested XPS which, I thought, was a great idea. XPS is now “native” to Vista and comes with .NET 3.0. Just make sure you don’t use (the really bad) stand-alone viewer that comes with the XPS Essentials Pack. Print straight from Internet Explorer instead. To support the Mother Empire, I will make XPS available alongside with PDFs from now on.

Download the repack as PDF (235K, same link as yesterday) or XPS (2.5Mb). I put the last-revision-date in the footer, so you can always tell if you have the latest.
