Hi,
I work in Tech support for Renaissance Learning and i thought I should explain a little regarding the Foxit/Adobe Reader problem.
It is not that Renaissance Place does not work with Foxit as such, it is able to view reports and other aspects of the site with no issue however, there is a check that occurs at the begging of any AR quiz. This essentially is there to stop pupils going through a quiz and not being able to view their results as that would be a larger issue for teacher than we currently face now.
The solution we have currently is to have the site check for the active-x component that runs in IE before any quiz is taken to ensure the ability to view the reports exists. We are fully aware of the problems with users using open source PDF viewers and we are keen to get the issue resolved however the final decision lies with our R&D department in the US.
If any of you guys are able to give us any information on why installing Adobe reader is a problem for a school's network then this might help us make a more pressing case for the problem to be resolved and it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if any of you have any thoughts on a way to use Foxit while having the Adobe Reader Active X running this would also fix the issue.
Oli
