    Foxit PDF Review

    Date: Jul 13 2022
    Summary

    My overall experience so far has been positive. I have been able to edit the documents that I need to edit. Need to spend more time getting familiar with it.

    Positive

    Fairly easy to navigate. Love that I can update a PDF. This is way easier than any other product that I have ever used for this.

    Negative

    None that I can think of at the moment. I need to spend more time playing with Foxit.

    Using Foxit Editor for the first time

    Date: Aug 29 2022
    Summary

    It took a while and a lot of Google searches to get going with my project to start making decent headway. Finding the PDF Users Guide really advanced my knowledge of Foxit Editor and I am sure if I had found it and read it sooner much of my frustration would have been avoided. So, read the user guide before really getting into your project!

    Positive

    It is exactly what we needed and it works. We had a form that we had been using in Word Docx format and the form was easily imported into Foxit Editor and the discovery of the fields went smoothly. There was a steep learning curve but that was my fault because I did not read the user guide which I found answered many of the questions that I had on performing the tasks that I wanted to accomplish.

    Negative

    Some of the reactions to performing common Windows actions were different and took a while to discover. For an example, when you multi-select fields the indications that the fields are selected was hard for me to detect as it wasn't like Windows multi-select indication. The fields changed colors instead of being black.

    Great product all around

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    I really love Foxit PDF Editor! I had struggled to find a good PDF editing program. They were either glitchy, cumbersome, or couldn't do what I needed to do... or they would cost an arm and a leg! I love that Foxit is very easy to use. I did not have to research or even look for the Help or How-to section. If you've used the more economical PDF editing software before, you know you have to jump through hoops or find work-arounds to get it to do what you want it to do sometimes. But this was easy to use right from the get go. I also love that you can purchase a one time license instead of having to purchase a subscription. Really, I cannot say enough about how much I love this program. There are cheaper versions available, but after struggling through them, I can say this one has all you need for the right price.

    Positive

    User friendly UI.
    One-time purchase option available.
    It does just about everything you need (edit pages & text, add text, create forms, etc.)

    Negative

    None, in my opinion.
    Redaction not available, unless you purchase up.

    Foxit Is The Perfect FixIt

    Date: Jul 06 2022

    Positive

    Very easy to use. Even those who struggle with technology should find that FoxIt is both user friendly & functional. There are so many great features!

    Negative

    Sometimes when I try to load a PDF the file will freeze and I have to restart the program (very rarely happens).

    Essential program for creating and modifying PDF files.

    Date: Nov 10 2022
    Summary

    Foxit presented very few negative things during the process of using it in my company, I consider that this platform has a lot of potential when it comes to allowing me to create and modify all kinds of PDF files in a matter of seconds, the way in which the platform works helps me to feel much more comfortable than any other, it allows me to modify each PDF file much more extensively. I really feel, using this service, I consider that it is relatively useful for any type of company, since it is a price in each one of the plans that it offers, they are quite low, which helps small companies to have a system of Very cheap PDF file creation but with incredible functions. I really loved how comfortable it is to use this platform, it is a very simple platform to use, the process of adapting to each of the functions is also relatively simple, so in just a few days you will correctly understand all the functions and be able to use them. them so that it was a complete PDF file. I loved the party so far, I consider that in my real estate company this program has been very essential.

    Positive

    Foxit is an incredible platform when it comes to editing and creating all kinds of PDF files from scratch, the way in which this platform works helps me a lot to be able to create high quality PDF files, in addition, I can create PDF files with different information, since be it with different text sources, incorporating images or incorporating a direct link. PDF files please advise within this platform can be printed with excellent quality thanks to this service. Next, I will mention the positive things that this platform has.

    1.- One of the main negative things that this platform has is that it allows me to modify everything related to the printing of each PDF document, I can modify the header and its size, in addition, it can modify the quality in which I want the printing and the type of sheet that I am going to use, it is important to highlight that to access all these printing functions, a printer must be connected directly to the computer. This platform offers me a lot of variety when it comes to modifying a printout of a PDF document, which helps me to have a very good quality printout and with excellent visualization of the PDF information.

    2.- The second thing that I have loved about this platform is that it allows me to lock with a password all the PDF files that I have previously created, or that I have edited. This lock is done with a default password, that means that you will always generate a code or password that only you will have access to, that is what helped me a lot to be able to lock all the PDF files that are important to me, for For example, I can draw up some type of important contract for my company, and a password so that the person who has that PDF file on their computer cannot modify it.

    3.- Another quite positive feature of this platform is that compared to other services that offer me the reading and editing of PDF files, this platform offers me a much more optimal community, since when I access full screen I have more flexibility Of all the information in the PDF file, in addition, the process to start using this platform is much simpler than any other platform, it has an installation process and a use process that is quite easy for all new users. I love being able to read and edit PDF files so easily.

    4.- Another feature that I loved about this platform is that it has a functionality to read PDF files without downloading them, this plugin needs to be installed in the browser you are using, this plugin will help you open any PDF file without download it to your computer, with a simple button, since on some occasions I find PDF files of total relevance and with the help of this platform I can access them. Also, I love being able to read because the type of PDF file and create it from scratch without my computer being affected in any way, as it is a pretty solid platform, with a relatively low weight and very low consumption.

    5.- The search system within this Santiago primo platform offers you complete results when searching for a specific word in the search engine. I really loved the word search system as it allowed me to find a specific part of the PDF file, this search system is available to read PDF files within the computer or within the browser.

    Negative

    Foxit is a system that really helps a lot to improve reading and I wanted to see if you can read PDF from scratch, however, below I will mention some negative things that this PDF reading platform has.

    1.- One of the main problems with this platform is that it does not have any function for digital signatures, that means that if you are preparing some type of document or some type of important contract for you, you will not be able to enter the digital signature , since it does not have the function. It will be excellent if this function were present, since it would help me and make it much easier for me to be able to sign any document in just a few seconds, in addition, this would help a lot when a client has to sign a contract that we we ship online. I hope this feature is implemented as soon as possible as it is very important to me.

    2.- This platform does not have any type of function to convert Office files or documents to PDF files. Therefore, if you want to convert a file or document to a PDF file, you will have to use another alternative, since this platform does not currently have this function included. It is very necessary to implement this function, since sometimes I made PDF files, and I want to transform it to a basic document, so this function would be awesome.

    A must have from beginners to experts

    Date: Jul 07 2022
    Summary

    I had fun going through and changing my documents. I played around with everything, just to see what it did and it's really an amazingly simple app that works!

    Positive

    I love that the Foxit PDF app actually does what it says with being able to edit anything on a document, and how it will also use the same font as the original document so there isn't any guess work, but, you can change to a different font, if needed. I also love that the app is so easy to navigate. It's pretty cut and dry with the menu. Edit, select, etc... You can't really go wrong.

    Negative

    I would say more options in the menu would be great. I noticed, I only had difficulty when trying to take sections of text out or just erase them, that it doesn't let you select just a small amount of words because your only option is "select all". Other than that, the price is right for all the things you can do and do easily, on the Foxit PDF Editor. Kudos to the maker.

    Positive

    I love that it's so user intuitive. My users can pick up on things without a lot, if any, training.

    Negative

    There really isn't anything I don't care for. It's a great product.

    FoxIt Pro: A thorough PDF app

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    I really enjoyed my trial period. I think that this product brings some of the most used features that people in business offices that use PDF file format need to be productive in today's high paced world. The icons are very readily available and organized to optimum efficiency and ease of use. The product is very well thought out.

    Positive

    The things you can do with a PDF file using FoxIt Pro are incredible. Join separate PDFs into one file, add signatures, paste images and so much more. It is a one stop PDF App that saves time and money for the busy office. I would recommend this FoxIt product for those who want to be more efficient. The icons are very readily available and organized to optimum efficiency and ease of use.

    Negative

    It is a bit pricey compared to other apps. The feature of applying a signature is a bit complicated and does not work as well as some of the competition's alternative programs to Foxit.

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    Definitely worth it with the one-time pricing! But one-time price, activation code can only be used once.

    Positive

    Easy to use, especially if you already know how to use Adobe. Overall 9/10! Has everything you'll need.

    Negative

    One-time price activation code can only be used with 1 device.

    A solid alternative to Adobe! The cost is competitive, and there aren't as many annoying updates as with Adobe.

    Positive

    Signatures for PDFS is pretty awesome. I also use it for manipulating PDFs to cut them down in size. Pretty easy and intuitive!

    Negative

    Activation was weird... Had to log in, activate a bunch of times... Didn't save my imported signatures from previous version.

    Foxit is an excellent product and represents a good value. I will not hesitate to recommend it to friends and colleagues.

    Positive

    Available without subscription.
    Many features easier to use and find when compared to Acrobat.
    I especially like the various menu layouts.

    Negative

    I have yet to find any disadvantages when creating, editing or printing pdf files.

    Excellent alternative to Adobe

    Date: Aug 23 2022
    Summary

    Overall I am a fan of the software and it definitely beats buying Adobe licenses/subscriptions for the entire office.

    Positive

    For our purposes this works as a perfectly fine replacement for Acrobat, the edit, OCR, & PDF creation features are all that we primarily use and didn't have much of a learning curve at all to adapt.

    Negative

    For OCR'd documents you still seemingly have to cut and paste the contents if you want to transfer them to Word. The save as word document feature only seems to convert the PDF pages into images and insert them into a word document.

    Foxit PDF Editor review

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    I hate it and get NO assistance for this company. I don't know if it is a useless product, or a totally unreliable product.

    Positive

    Nothing, so far I have not been able to edit the first thing. It seems that I have paid for something that I will never be able to use.

    Negative

    The fact that it won't load or be useful. It doesn't load, my money was taken and I got nothing.

    Free of Adobe's Insanely High Subscription Prices

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    I have had an a-mazing experience with this software. 10/10 would definitely recommend. (assuming you need Acrobat Pro level features).

    Positive

    I work with PDF's enough and seem to use/need a variety of tools, so I always seem to end up needing Acrobat Pro...even at home. Once Adobe moved to a subscription based pricing model, I begrudgingly paid for a monthly plan....because at least I was getting a student discount.

    Well after a year, even though I'm still a (grad) student, Adobe apparently decided that students only get 1 year of discounted subscription prices these days. I decided enough was enough and looked for other alternatives.

    Enter Foxit PDF. This software meets all of my needs and is quite functional as a full featured replacement for Acrobat Pro. And the best part....it comes at a reasonable price.

    Negative

    So far, I haven't found any negatives to the product. My biggest issue to date has been when I click on the - to zoom out. I am usually after a page view or smaller. Inevitably, I click the left end of the zoom scale instead of the minus....so it zooms out to like 1%.
