I discovered Foxit Reader almost a year ago when my teacher while sharing his screen used it for reading through the pdf. I decided to give it a try and now I can assure you that it has been a great thing so far.

Covid-19 just changed the whole teaching-learning environment. Now when there was this study from pdf system going on, I found it hard to remember things and was, to be honest, a boring experience.

But on moving to Foxit Reader and slowly discovering its features, I realized how awesome it can be. So here are some of the tips and tricks for you all to enhance your overall learning experience. I hope it brings some value!

1- You can highlight items simply using the Highlight icon as shown here :

In case your Pdf is hand-written, you can use the area highlight tool. Next time while you revise, you will enjoy reading your highlighted pdf!

2- You can underline using options seen adjacent to it.

3- Can use arrows placed on top and Textbox icon to write any important points.

4- Now comes the hero -> Bookmarks. For this simply press Ctrl+B and write what you will like your Bookmark to be called. Next time you want to visit any specific topic,you can simply go the bookmark you created.

5- Now I am the kind of person who likes reading more than listening. But for all of you who prefer audio more than text, here you go :

6- Now if you feel like putting some pictures.Quite easy,just copy that picture and paste here (Ctrl+v).Here is an example (dog photo in Cryptography!bit out of context :-P)

So these were some basic tips you can use .I hope you found this useful :-)
