Description:

Installed and activated Foxit PDF Editor version 12. When I go to open the program, it does not open at all.

 

Solution:

1 Open Task Manager and go to Processes tab, end all Foxit PDF Editor background processes.

2 Find the installation folder of Foxit PDF Editor, which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Editor by default and open 'plugins' folder, then rename Subscribe.fpi file by adding a 1, for example:

3 Try again to open.

    I am running Windows 10 and updated to all the latest releases as of 10/12/22. After the update, Foxit would not open. The program was running in the background, but there was no visible program interface on the monitor screen. I followed the the instructions above - "Find the installation folder of Foxit PDF Editor, which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Editor by default and open 'plugins' folder, then rename Subscribe.fpi file by adding a 1" and the program works great now.

    Followed this process but the fix did not work.  I can see the program running on the task bar but it will not show up in a window.
