This is not a solution for someone who does not own and I device or for that matter, even a 'smart phone'. I suppose my original request for a PC related question was led out on a tangential track. It appears, based on conversation on this list, that Foxit reader on a PC is inaccessible, period.

So, I just copy the PDF files into the DropBox folder on my PC. Then they are synced to my iOS device and I can then open them in Voice Dream Reader. For the last course that I took, I received the textbooks in PDF format. I loaded them into VDR and read them there. Much easier than reading them with Adobe Reader. Plus, they are portable, so I can read or reference them on the go. Very handy.
