Windows 10: Foxit PhantomPDF, from the Microsoft Store, tells me that Creater is not available and also...

My Great Grandfather purchased Foxit PhantomPDF Standard for me, from the Microsoft Store and installed it on my computer which is running Windows 10 Home 1803. He uses an older version of the same Standard program on his Windows 10 Pro 1803 computer and it allows him to create PDF files from any file.


He has tried Repair, Reset and Reinstall of the App from the Store. He even Reinstalled Windows in an attempt to resolve the subject issues.


Before purchasing the App from the store, Foxit MobilePDF, from the Store was installed and also a trial PhantomPDF was installed. I am thinking that cleanup to remove all traces of those might be required.


QUESTION: Does Foxit PhantomPDF purchased from the Microsoft Store have fewer capabilities that the same App purchased from Foxit?

Unable to use Foxit PhantomPDF

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.

Initially, my pdf documents opened using Foxit PhantomPDF, and that software was really useful.

But after upgrading, I'm unable to open any pdf files using Foxit PhantomPDF.

I alternatively installed Acrobat Reader DC, but it is giving me printer-related issues.

Please advice on how to be able to use my Foxit PhantomPDF.

Thanks!

Unable to use Foxit PhantomPDF

Hi
ThasreenRefaya ,

I think I faced similar situation after upgrading to windows 10. I had purchased and Foxit PhantomPDF Standard Edition ver 7.0.310.26. which worked perfectly. But started having issues reading pdf files when open from Internet explorer 11. though it worked
well with Edge.

Solution:

I unInstalled Foxit PhantomPDF completely via control panel, restarted the PC to ensure the registry is cleaned, and install the same version i purchased initially. I then entered the same registration key I earlier used to activate the product.

Now I could read and manage pdf document with no issues.

I hope it works for you too. Sam
