You need to be careful with FoxIt. At the least, it installs "FoxIt Cloud". It gets installed with every update. I uninstall it every time.
Otherwise, I've found it to be the best of the "free" PD viewers/creators. Be sure to get version 7. It's much improved over version 6.

That opens the document across the WAN just fine. So, for now, that's what I'm going to recommend to the user.
