Yes, this works just fine. And since I did that it is working if I do the same from the View menu and is calling up Acrobat even if I have not set it as the default yet the file icon inidates Foxit and if I click on the icon in the folder it opens in Foxit. Very strange indeed but at least I am getting some fast PDF's now.
