    Ease of use

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    Overall I feel like this is the best editor on the market for someone who isn't looking for anything crazy; at a good price point, especially considering all the functions it allows you to do with the basic level!

    Positive

    I liked that even though I have used this product for years, the basic functions remain the same while they update the software too. I like that everything I need to use is available on the basic level and I don't need to spend more to upgrade when the Editor version already does so much. I also like that they give you a free 2-week trial to figure it out and then decide.

    Negative

    There seems to be a lot of extra clicking to create multipage documents and I'm not sure if that's the product or user error. The Help section is a little confusing.

    Foxit PDF Editor

    Updated: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    Overall, though, I think Foxit is a great, full function PDF editor.

    Positive

    I used to use Foxit at my last job and loved it. I sought it out and downloaded the free trial to use at my new job.

    Negative

    The free trial is missing some customizing that I was accustomed to - but I probably need to confirm which version I had then and which version I have now.

    Fantastic App at a Great Price

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    The only way I could possibly be happier is if I had a better tablet that supported a style so I could use that in editing my pdfs with Foxit.

    Positive

    This app is exactly what I needed for my Android tablet and it wasn't priced to high. I use Foxit on my desktop also so I like that is a familiar feeling and the features are easy to find and use.

    Negative

    None have shown themselves so far.

    Great for Mail Merge

    Date: Nov 11 2022
    Summary

    I’ve enjoyed using Foxit for my work. Its ability to do what other programs can’t have paid for itself by saving me hours.

    Positive

    I use Foxit PDF Editor all the time, and it integrates seamlessly with MS Word. I am often tasked with exporting 100+ files from an Excel/Word mail merge, and Foxit is the only product I’ve found that allows me to merge PDFs directly from Word into emails while saving the individual documents with their own unique file name at the same time.

    Negative

    Like most programs, there is a bit of a learning curve, and I wish there were more tutorial videos available. But once you get the hang of it, it’s no problem.

    Not a bad PDF editor

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    I would buy Foxit again for my team and my clients. It's worth it for the price. I just wish Foxit would optimize the PDF editor.

    Positive

    It's cheap, easy to install. Lots of features for the price. You can buy it without paying for a subscription.

    Negative

    Not as good as Adobe. Slower than Adobe as well. Some Adobe PDF's do not work in Foxit.

    Mixed Feelings

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    I attempted the app for some Resume editing but was not able to use it for that project. I was able to use it for something else but I was not all satisfied with app.

    Positive

    Very easy to use. Excellent programming. Very simple and basic computer knowledge needed. I would fix some kinks.

    Negative

    Not many features that can be used. A lot of errors.

    Wish it included multiple record import functionality

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    Still using Adobe for my import functionality-won't be able to switch completely until this has been done.

    Positive

    It's fairly easy to use once you get used to it. features are limited, but you can usually find what you are looking for.

    Negative

    I don't like the fact that you can't take a csv file with multiple records and import into an already created form. it will only import one record at a time.

    Summary

    Love this program. Use it at work and in my personal life. It serves well as a reader but has all the editing tools conveniently available for the moment they are needed.

    Positive

    All the commonly needed tools for working with PDF files are readily available every time you open a file.

    Negative

    There is no significant downside that I can think of.

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Great. The system has been fantastic to use and so easy to adapt to and learn. The transition from my previous system to Foxit has been seem less.

    Positive

    Foxit has been so easy to learn and use. It has been very helpful for the work I do and has definitely made things much easier for me since I have been using the software.

    Negative

    I have not experienced a con as of yet. I really don’t see a con to it.

    Used Foxit for years, and love it

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Clean, uncomplicated design that is easy to use. People are amazed when they see a typed up pdf form--but if they had to try to read my handwriting, they'd be happy to buy me a copy;)

    Positive

    Easy to use. I use it to fill out insurance forms, clean up messy scans, print pdfs from Word and Excel files, and view scanned documents to make sure they are readable and clear.

    Negative

    I wish I could choose to add text once, and then move throughout the document, instead of having to choose it again for each field.

    Honest review

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    I've used Foxit for my business computer for years.
    I just feel the licensing is a bit too rigid and the pricing is too high.
    I like it, but I would move all my licenses to another brand ifI could find a more cost-effective solution.

    Positive

    Very good and stable product. Easy to use and easy to install. Fast and easily incorporated within Office 365 modules.

    Negative

    Too expensive and difficult to manage licenses and upgrade schedules.

    A great alternative to Adobe

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    I will definitely advocate for our business switching to Foxit, and the cost savings will make a difference for our small company!

    Positive

    I found it to be very easy to intuitively use, with the same basic features and icons that I was used to from Adobe. The trial was a a great way to test out my work flow to see that it wasn't any different or wouldn't cause me any issues.

    Negative

    I really didn't see a flaw with it, and the only reason I haven't made the official switch yet is because it's an organizational decision.

    Very easy to use. I combine a lot of docs and this process was very simple. I am just learning to create forms and Foxit has made it pretty easy.

    Positive

    Easy to use, even for a novice like me. I have a small business and Foxit PDF Editor fits much better into my budget than Adobe.

    Foxit PDF Editor

    Date: Aug 25 2022
    Summary

    Not bad if one has a big size monitors and an avid user.

    Positive

    Extensive expanded features, great icons, drag and align tabs.

    Negative

    Drag and drop workbook no longer available w/ first try, need to duplicate work and deletion. Tends to hang or freeze when more than 12 + files / multi files open at the same time, as well as program file shrinking / not fully displays (I call dancing screen - changes it display size).

    Summary

    Ever since I started working I've been using Foxit and now all my co workers love this PDF editing program. Highly recommended.

    Positive

    This is great if you plan to go paperless. I've been using this product since 2019 working as an accountant. You can scan all the papers at once, save it as PDF, and you can basically drag and drop to the folder or desktop to create a new file.

    Negative

    The price is a little high, but it's one time payment and it's worth it.
