    Best PDF software

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Foxit is the best PDF software I've ever used. The last organization I worked for used it, and when I say Foxit changed my life - I honestly mean it. I was able to do so many things with PDFs that I had never been able to do before with other software.

    Positive

    Editing text/images.
    Combining and deleting pages.
    Creating PDF from other files.
    Ease of use.
    Filling out PDFs and typing features.

    Negative

    There are not any cons that I would report with Foxit.

    Easiest product to learn and navigate

    Updated: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Love the product and I am continuing to learn the features as I go along. Very user-friendly and easy to use.

    Positive

    I was never able to work with Adobe & when Foxit was brought on board, I was new to how it all worked. The navigation of this product is amazing, and the help feature is very user-friendly.

    Negative

    I have no cons about the product. I am still learning how to use unique features but I have nothing bad to say.

    Finally the best pdf software!

    Date: Nov 11 2022
    Summary

    I've paid adobe for a few years and having a tool that has all the features plus more and cheaper is really incredible!

    Positive

    It has everything you need pdf-related, including digital signature and pdf editing, which is something I've been looking for and that does not cost a ton of money!

    Negative

    that it took this long for a company to create this and charge a fair price!
    I'm still using the trial version and experienced software crash a couple of times when handling large files. Also had one situation where the file would not save. But those would also happen with Adobe sometimes so..

    Updated: Jul 07 2022
    Summary

    Foxit PDF Editor makes creating, editing, merging, and sharing simple for all users. I highly recommend giving the trial version a try which I'm confident will lead you to purchase the full version just like me.

    Positive

    Foxit PDF Editor has good performance. User friendly with a easy to navigate Office-like interface. Offers trustworthy document protection options. Foxit has a reliable user help center. It offers multiple sharing options.

    Negative

    There aren't many cons for Foxit PDF Editor except for it only offers a limited trial version, the performance tends to lag on complex documents, and the price and plans could be more flexible.

    Foxit PDF Editor Review

    Date: Jul 07 2022
    Summary

    I would not go back to anything else. This program by far has the competition with easy of use and all the easy access to some many features and tools.

    Positive

    Very easy to use without training and I find something new all the time. Getting started was easy and has made me so much more efficient.

    Negative

    I got a new computer and trying to move the license over was a bit confusing.

    Date: Nov 08 2022
    Summary

    Excellent experience, consistent updates and great support when needed. I think nothing compares to it.

    Positive

    I had some work they needed to be edited and converted to a pdf recently. Long time user of Foxit and think its a perfect alternative to Adobe.

    Negative

    None at this time as I've used it long enough and don't see any issues.

    Alternative for PDF

    Date: Nov 11 2022
    Summary

    So far, so good. I have used Foxit to open PDF files and have been able to print and select portions of data to export to other formats.

    Positive

    Ease to download and pricing as my previous software was Adobe and the constant reminders to pay fees and limited features until you purchase different features of their software. Not the case with Foxit. I have used Foxit now for several weeks and am satisfied.

    Negative

    Somewhat difficult to navigate features. The menus and how to open files seem a little clumsy. I would rather use some of the Microsoft libraries and then just click on the file I would like to open.

    Not a bad editor

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Overall it would be an editor I would use daily but not looking at paying the cost for it. Just starting my business so not in the budget. Once I’m off the ground standing tall with my business I will come back to using it and paying the fees associated with the use.

    Positive

    It was easy to use. Self explanatory edits. The buttons are easy to read and know what they are for.

    Negative

    The cost is the only complaint. If this was a free editor I would use daily.

    Updated: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall I give the app Foxit 5 stars. Well in that case, I would give 10 stars.

    Positive

    Everything I need is in one place! Rather easy to edit or convert into a pdf. There's a huge list of things I like about it.

    Negative

    It costs way too much I'm sorry but I'd be willing to pay a lot less for it.

    Date: Nov 12 2022
    Summary

    My experience with Foxit pro has been great so far! I use the software daily and have no complaints whatsoever.

    Positive

    I love that it does everything I need at a fraction of the cost of Adobe! All of the features that I need are there.

    Negative

    Nothing that I can think of...there are multiple tiers, so it's good to know that if I need additional features, I can just purchase the next tier package.

    Foxit review

    Date: Jul 09 2022
    Summary

    Everything in one application and no need to search for more. Editing, converting, saving or printing was easy or easy explanation

    Positive

    I liked how easy it was to use the app and it's features. Editing pdf's was particularly useful when needing to make corrections or changes. Also converting to doc's was easy.

    Negative

    I have nothing negative to say about Foxit. Perhaps, extending the free trial.

    Foxit is a Great Replacement for Adobe PDF Editor

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    I was looking for an alternative to Adobe DC since I don't have the Adobe Cloud suite and didn't want to pay for just a subscription to Adobe DC. I found Foxit to be the best option to suite my needs. It has a ton of features but mainly I found it very intuitive to use. I was up and running in short time and able to get straight to the work I needed to do so I would say the learning curve is small if you are already familiar with Adobe DC. I needed to setup an editable pdf with check boxes and fillable fields and it was so easy to do. I'm a big fan of this app and would highly recommend it to anyone needing to do advanced pdf editing.

    Positive

    Very easy to use and a great layout for the menu. The GUI is very intuitive and you can quickly find the settings that you want to adjust. I found this app to be much more user-friendly than Adobe DC. It seems to encompass all of the features of Adobe DC at a lower price.

    Negative

    There wasn't anything I didn't like about Foxit. It's the full package.

    My review

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    Support was great! That was the most impressive part. Got someone to help right away and he was very nice.

    Positive

    I liked the ease of use. Though I found once I converted the PDF into a Word doc it was somewhat unwieldy, but in fairness it might be that I am not that familiar enough with Word.

    Negative

    Nothing to complain about. I liked the product and intend to buy it.

    Best PDF editor ever

    Date: Jul 14 2022
    Summary

    I think I'm really pleased with the product. Been using it for 2 weeks now, and so far everything works like a charm. Will for sure recommend it to my friends and family!

    Positive

    It's really cheap. It's got one time license of 159 dollars, VS adobe's 350 dollars per license, and it's got pretty much all the features that Adobe provides.

    Negative

    As of now I haven't really found anything bad about this product yet. But if there's any, I would like the look doesn't look as new as adobe.

    Date: Aug 24 2022
    Summary

    Budget ware companies should look into this product. Streams editing process and gets it done. Get it, try it, like it.

    Positive

    Easy to use with a lot of features that you normally have to pay for! This is an ideal solution if you are trying to be budget conscience.

    Negative

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    I really love this PDF editor. I use it everyday for my job and it is so easy to use. This should be a part of everyone's workspace.

    Positive

    I have been using Foxit PDF Editor for over 6 years now. It has become a part of my daily work routine. Not only can I view the PDFs but the editing feature is what I really enjoy. It is so easy to redact and edit the PDFs to your liking. The simplicity is what makes it unique.

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    This software is just OK.
    When I upgraded to a new computer, I was tempted to stop my subscription with Foxit and start with Adobe. I decide to stay with Fox it just because I was more familiar with it than with Adobe.

    Positive

    Easy to use and easy to learn how to maneuver the software.
    Good graphics.
    Good amount of editable features.
    I like that it is cloud based.

    Negative

    1. Hard to edit Certified signature.
    2. Nit being able to erase signature after it is inserted.
    3. So few people know about it.

    Is almost like Adobe

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    I like it, that's why i'm buying it now. If there's anyone who needs it, like friends or family, I think I'll recommend it to them.

    Positive

    I like how the text field reading is basically as accurate as Adobe, but doesn't cost as much as Adobe.

    Negative

    The only thing is that on the standard version, you can't really type signature like the pro version. I have a mac, and pro version wasn't supported on mac. I wish they can add this feature.
