    About Foxit

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Foxit is a better tool to work with PDFs and editing also is a very good feature in cloud and desktops editions.

    Positive

    Usually, everyone suggests me to work with Adobe products and I did it for the last few months. When I check the digital signature verification on both Foxit and Adobe, I feel Foxit is better then Adobe.

    Negative

    As usual in other tools, advertisements. If there is no ads on the tool, it will be good.

    Great Alternative to Adode products

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Overall would highly recommend. Many great features and things that make it very easy to use especially if you are someone who needs to view and edit pdf's often.

    Positive

    Very easy and intuitive to use. Has all the features you would expect but also includes stuff like drop in place signatures and even a PDF editor so you can edit existing text in a document or add text boxes to help fill out forms.

    Negative

    Really the only thing I haven't liked so far is the sensitivity of the zoom feature. It becomes a bit difficult at times to get it exactly to the correct zoom.

    Easily could replace Adobe Acrobat

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    The product was easy to use and has all the same features of Adobe Acrobat Pro and less expensive! I will recommend to everyone.

    Positive

    The ease of use and all the same features as Adobe Acrobat Pro. Our firm switched to Foxit and the transition was seamless!

    Negative

    Not a thing. As a paralegal, I use this program daily and have not found a con yet!

    Foxit PDF Editor

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    Serves its purpose well, would buy again. Functionality wise I have nothing to complain about I believe it competes well with Adobe Acrobat.

    Positive

    Great Functionality, We have been using this product for about a year now and its been able to do everything we've needed it to do.

    Negative

    Boring Interface.. The design is not bad but could use some better placement and color.

    Better than other PDF programs

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    I would definitely recommend FOXIT over other PDF programs, functions are easy to locate and not overpriced for an everyday user.

    Positive

    Easy to navigate and no lag in converting documents. Easy to find needed functions to process documents and convert them to PDF documents.

    Negative

    Foxit used to have a free version several years back if I remember correctly. For those of us that use PDFs a few times a year, it would be great to have a free version again.

    I honestly think it’s pretty great

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    Overall pretty solid pdf program wasn’t what I initially was looking for but it does the job pretty good. I’ve rather this app than drawboard pdf it’s nicer especially between platforms.

    Positive

    Unique interface and some new tools I have not yet tried or seen much of elsewhere. Love it. Seamless getting and working with documents on here.

    Negative

    Could have more integration within other services. Fillable form template would be nice.

    Excellent for recombining existing PDF's

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    We are happy with the main thing we needed, recombining existing PDF's. We cannot comment on other features beyond basic PDF usage.

    Positive

    Foxit PDF makes recombining existing PDF's ready. We bought it specifically for that purpose, as we need to do that a lot over the next several weeks/months.

    Negative

    None so far. We have only used the Combine feature, which works great. Cannot comment on anything else.

    Overall its a fantastic software for you to utilize if your constantly working with PDF documents. If you need a simple software get this product.

    Positive

    It was easy to upload and edit documents. Very convenient and everything was easy to use. The functions allowed me to get the job done quickly.

    Negative

    It's kind of pricy if you only will use it once in a while.

    So easy to use!

    Date: Jul 07 2022
    Summary

    Excellent software and value for businesses. Prior to my current position, I had no experience with Foxit, and would definitely recommend to any user.

    Positive

    Very user-friendly, easy to convert files and edit as needed. I'm also aware it is much more affordable than its biggest competitor.

    Negative

    I can't think of any major cons at this time. So far, the only issue that I have encountered is that there are certain features/functions that its biggest competitor has that cause problems when trying to open PDF's.

    Best editor out there!

    Date: Nov 08 2022
    Summary

    I am not sure what I should be typing here as I cannot think of anything I do not like about it! great program. Great user interface.

    Positive

    Easy to use, and not sensitive like adobe. I have had a lot of pdf's that in Adobe I could not edit. I also like the Chrome plugin for it that allows you to work with it in Chrome VS having to download and then open.

    Negative

    Nothing. I am not sure what I should be typing here as I cannot think of anything I do not lIke about it.

    Easy to Use with Great Tools

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    I really like how easy it is to use the product. I was using an older version and the only thing I didn't really like was that it was a bit confusing how to change colors for editing tools like text/underline and things like that. I'm not sure if that's gotten better as I haven't had a chance to use the new version.

    Positive

    I really like that this PDF editor is easy to use. I am not tech savvy, but have always been able to figure out how to accomplish the things that I need within the program. With my speech business (ClearSpeakPro)I use the editor daily to highlight, underline, write on, and adjust PDFs while working with clients. The tools I need are easy to find and easy to use.

    Negative

    I think that the activation process could be a little more streamlined. I was sent multiple emails that kind of confusing. there was an order number a PO number, then the activation number. It took me several minutes to sort through the emails to figure out how to activate the account.

    Foxit Review

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    Foxit is easy to use. There are videos to watch and learn how do do tasks. Customer service was easy to contact and willing to help.

    Positive

    I can add text and remove it. I can combine several documents into one file. I can add my custom made signature.

    Negative

    To remove text, you much put the document to the OCR format and some of the text gets distorted.

    Does exactly what I need it to for a fraction of the cost. I would recommend this for anyone that needs to just edit text.

    Positive

    The software is pretty easy to use. Does what I need it to, which is to make minor edits to verbiage.

    Negative

    It can be a little difficult to adjust spacing or adding a line of text.

    A staple for any office

    Date: Nov 09 2022
    Summary

    Overall FOXIT is the most used program on our workplace. Without it would delay work progress for sure. The cost is worth it as well compared to other pdf viewers.

    Positive

    There is a lot I am still learning about FOXIT. I love that I am able to add or remove pages, arrange pages as well. I can edit documents. I can notate on documents. I can email document without leaving FOXIT. It really is a use full tool in my office. We use it everyday thru out the entire work day.

    Negative

    Only downfall I found was when I am using 2 screens and want to drag and drop from one document to another that is on a separate screen--the program freezes and I have use task manager to end task and restart. When i restart it, it usually doesn't repeat that issue with same document.

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    I downloaded the app in search of a solution for a paper I needed to be delivered yesterday and fortunately with Foxit easy to use yet premium interface I was able to do so in style.

    Positive

    I love the free trial because you know from the first 10 seconds of opening the app that you're going to have a premium experience.

    Negative

    To be honest I wish I could have free-loaded for a little bit longer.
