Install FoxitReader without using Wine

Solution 1:

September 15, 2015,Foxit Reader is now available for Ubuntu ,

1.Go to official site foxitsoftware.com/products/pdf-reader

Click on download button and select Linux (either 32 or 64 bit)

Now Open terminal and run the following commands:

cd ~/Downloads
ls    
tar -xzvf FoxitReader1.00.0909_Server_x64_enu_Setup.run.tar.gz
chmod +x FoxitReader.enu.setup.1.0.0.0909.run
./FoxitReader.enu.setup.1.0.0.0909.run

Note While running chmod command I got syntax error near unexpected token `(' error.I re-named the extracted file then executed the command.

Solution 2:

Here is what I've used to install it on my 64bit system.

To install FoxitReader on Ubuntu 64bit, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 libcanberra-gtk0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
wget http://cdn02.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/1.1/enu/FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb

I'm running Xubuntu, and it shows in the menu. See image below.

Here it is on Ubuntu 14.04
