How to Install and Use Foxit Reader on Ubuntu?
Asked by

I'm looking for guidance on finding and installing Foxit Reader for Ubuntu version 25. Is it even available for Linux?

I love Okular too—so handy for opening multiple PDFs at once! Plus, it’s available on Windows if you switch OS, which is a bonus.

You're right—there's no Linux version of Foxit. Using Wine is possible, but if you're just looking to review PDFs, I'd recommend sticking with native apps like Evince, Okular, or even the PDF viewer built into Firefox.

Unfortunately, Foxit doesn't have a native Linux version. If you really want to use it, you'll need to install Wine from either the Ubuntu repository or WineHQ. Then, download the Windows version of Foxit to run it through Wine.

Honestly, just give Evince or Okular a try. They work great!
PdfFanatic88: Totally agree! Okular's tab feature makes it super easy to handle multiple files.
