    Great Product!

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    The installation and set up was very easy and the product was easy to use the very first time. I have forms that I add data too and the data goes right where is supposed to be on the form.

    Positive

    I've used Foxit several times after being recommended by a friend. All the information I put on the forms I use looks great and lines up really well compared to a competitor's product. It's easy to install and use.

    Negative

    I downloaded to my laptop and my phone, but the phone version didn't line up quite as perfectly as the laptop version did, but it was close.

    Return user - personal purchase

    Date: Jul 13 2022
    Summary

    I've been happy with Foxit PDF editor products for years and expect to continue to be so for years to come. I recommend this for anyone who needs professional, reliable quality to read, edit, convert, compile, create, etc., PDFs.

    Positive

    I really wanted to avoid a cloud-only solution, Foxit provides what I need at a reasonable price. Office add-ins are easy to set up and work very well. OCR is excellent and the convert to Office tools have saved me many hours of work. I couldn't stand not having my own license (as opposed to licenses provided through work/jobs) so I bought my own. The trial version provides full functionality.

    Negative

    Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the key installed properly. Probably just me and my fat-fingers. Not much of a "con".

    Negative

    Speed of loading. The application can slow down the entire computer.

    Date: Aug 25 2022
    Summary

    Easy to use for simple file editing.

    Foxit Reader is secure enough to withstand any cybersecurity attack. Affordable option. Ease of use. If you don’t have the budget or don’t need all the features to justify the cost, then consider this software.

    Incredible PDF software!

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    To briefly sum it up, this is an excellent choice for college students when editing and saving as PDF's. I would recommend this to my friends.

    Positive

    The ease in using this program is great for a college student like me, I found it incredibly useful when editing digital copy of textbooks for note taking and studying purposes. When it came time to write reports, all college students will know that PDFs are the way to go, but we've all experience that feeling when we save it as a PDF and the resulting file is all garbled up, with Foxit I can easily go back in and fix all the little errors we get when saving or converting files.

    Best of all, it runs well on my small laptop so its perfect for use in tandem with my other college apps. I can always count on it.

    Negative

    Not much to say, the features all do their job and I have not run into any issues that bothered me.

    Best option for your PDF needs

    Date: Aug 08 2022
    Summary

    Considering all the options available in the platform I strongly recommend this to those who are searching for a good PDF editing platform.

    Positive

    Using Foxit you can edit, merge, convert your pdf files. It's easy to use because of their user friendly interface. You can always get all your editing history also which is a very useful feature in case of me.

    Negative

    I think the price is on the higher side. They are offering two options. You can take the membership as per your needs.

    Great product for the price. Still learning the use of the product but seems well suited for my uses. Would recommend to anyone who needs a good pdf software but doesn't want to pay Adobe prices.

    Positive

    The ability to measure is great for me. Also being able to digitally sign materials. So many different functions.

    Negative

    Wish that you could zoom on a page without having to zoom at prescribed percentages. Click and zoom would be much better.

    No Updates without Maintenance Plan, No Desktop + Laptop on 1 license

    Date: Jul 07 2022
    Summary

    Not too happy about the upgrade deal.

    The claim of perpetual license is true, but only for the version that is purchased, unless the "maintenance" subscription plan is also purchased. Certainly a bit of a money grab, especially with the traditional lack of updates for 1 year.

    Considering that I would have to buy (2) new licenses to upgrade in the future, Foxit will not get the sale.

    Positive

    So far, Foxit works fine for my uses.

    I did have to reinstall the purchased software on my desktop, and the support was great. It was reactivated in less than 12 hours.

    Negative

    So, I did not fully understand the "maintenance" add-on.

    I found out when I got a notification for V12. I was unable to update the V11.X version(s) that I purchased within 30 days prior, because I didn't also purchase the maintenance subscription.

    IF I want to update, I have to buy a NEW license for that version, and then if I want future UPDATES, I have to buy the maintenance subscription.

    Come on, many other software vendors will offer updates for the first year.

    Must buy (2) licenses for a single user desktop and laptop scenario. Many (most?) other vendors allow (1) desktop and (1) laptop to be activated on (1) single user license.

    Summary

    I absolutely love using Foxit PDF Editor. Its simple controls help get the job done without wasting a lot of time.

    Positive

    I liked the easy to use format. I knew what I had to do and Foxit layout made it simple for me to do it the way I needed it done. I didn't have to spend a lot of time trying to learn how to do this or that because it was clearly mapped out for me. Easy to use to get the results I want.

    Negative

    There wasn't anything for me to dis like about this program. It was easy and I was able to complete my task a lot faster then it would have other wise taken me.
