Updating knowledge with better softwares

These are some of the tools which could help any students to maximize their efforts

Its time to change the pdf reader
Most of the people are still using adobe reader for viewing all pdf files etc.
Which is okay, but while reading if u want to highlight some text or bookmark some pages, then its not possible in free version.

But all these tools are still possible for free, check Foxit reader.

Below given link is directly for the software:

try it, you would love it for sure, especially while reading books, cool tool is to draw arrows to indicate and make pdf files.
use these things efficiently before they make you pay.

The only minor problem is after installing this software, though you unselect not to install toolbar in internet browser, it still installs, so one has to go to browser and disable that, thats all.
