DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files are application modules that contain program-specific directives and sequential lines of code that are developed for associated applications to simultaneously reference the data stored in these DLL files, and the ctfmon.dll process is implemented with the same program logic compilation specifications that are integrated into files stored in the DLL format. The ctfmon.dll module is used by the Foxit Reader application, which is a program that is embedded with a set of functionalities for viewing PDFs. Also known as Best PDF Reader, the Foxit Reader application references the program logic code and directives stored in the ctfmon.dll module when a user requests for access to its PDF viewing functionalities. The ctfmon.dll process is also used by the Foxit Reader program when a user requests access to the PDF printing features that are embedded into this application.
