That may save you for a while, as attackers will focus on Adobe due to the 
numerous vulnerabilities and incredible distribution.

However, Foxit Reader is likely to be equally vulnerable. Researchers have 
already found vulnerabilities in it's JBIG2 handling, the same thing Adobe 
has been hammered on recently.

I'd guess that if the researchers spending time on Adobe turned attention 
to Foxit, it would likely be just as bad.
