    Foxit PDF Editor

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    Very solid PDF editor. I had no issues with it and was satisfied with its options, I acquired the software to use in managing group projects for my current graduate level project management course and was not dissatisfied. What I needed the software to do in terms of labeling and page numbers it was more than capable of doing.

    Positive

    Was a good pdf editor worked as I expect one too. I mainly utilize it for merging and managing files, the software worked well for this and for labeling figures and adding comments. Found it easier to use than adobe's offerings.

    Negative

    I had no issues with it, more options for page numbers would be appreciated as would more tooltips.

    Wonderful All Inclusive PDF Editing Software

    Updated: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    Very pleased overall. Customer Service has been wonderful and expedient when we call in with questions.

    Positive

    So many features. A lot that we haven't even discovered yet! All of our core needs are met by this software with a lot of extras included that we didn't even know that we needed. Very User Friendly.

    Negative

    We haven't found too many cons. It is a bit pricey but comparatively with other software, not too pricey. Many more expensive options out there that don't have all the features of FoxIt.

    For a Mac user, Foxit is far superior to Adobe Pro DC

    Date: Aug 22 2022
    Summary

    I couldn’t be more pleased to save time and money in creating a PDF in Foxit over Adobe. As a Mac user, I just want to say thanks for making such a superior product!

    Positive

    After struggling with the Adobe Acrobat DC slowdowns on my Mac, I’m overjoyed at finding Foxit. It’s just as easy to edit PDFs and comes without the system lag that Adobe always brought to my computer. I can edit PDFs on Foxit in less than half the time as before, without all the frustration, and at a cheaper price point!

    Negative

    Nothing! Foxit is easy to use, period. Unlike Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I don’t have to force quit the program or shut down the Creative Cloud program and redownload the acrobat pro app to get it to work. Headache free!

    Good alternative to the mainstream PDF editor

    Date: Jul 06 2022
    Summary

    The application is easy to use. It is a pleasant experience, and technical support is quite responsive.

    Positive

    Easy to use, does all the same things as the mainstream app and just as well. Options for Sign are excellent as well.

    Negative

    GUI feels a bit outdated, would be nice if it were a bit slicker. Does not affect usability at all.

    Foxit PDF Editor

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    I'll resume in just one question: Why buy Adobe Acrobat Pro for more than 450.00? Amazon is selling Adobe Acrobat Pro for 538.79. Too much money. Too much expensive. You can do the same with Foxit Pro Editor permanent edition (179.00). That is the version I'll buy. I need to buy 2 licenses (one for my laptop and the other one for my Desktop. I'm deciding if I'll buy 1 or 2 license because it's expensive to pay 358.00 (179.00 x 2) just for one User.

    Positive

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat Pro for more than 10 years, and Foxit PDF Editor is the first and the only one PDF Editor I have tested that works like the Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've tested many PDF Editor that I found in the Internet. The price of Foxit PDF Editor is around 35% of the price of Adobe Acrobat Pro permanent license. I'll buy Foxit PDF Editor permanent license.

    Negative

    First thing to consider. I don't like to bye subscription software (I don't buy subscription software), and the e-sign version of Foxie PDF Editor is not available to be sold as a permanent license (just subscription). So I'll buy the Foxit PDF Editor permanent version without e-sign. Second, sometimes it's difficult to talk with someone from the Support team of Foxit, but I was able to talk to one of them. I think they don't provide care made by people during all days and all hours. Third thing to consider is that Foxit doesn't have a reasonable price to buy 2 or 3 license for the same User. Some Users owns 2 or 3 computers or maybe more. I own 3 desktops and 1 laptop. Buying licenses for all of them is too expensive for just one person.

    Fast, full-featured, and cheap

    Date: Jun 20 2020
    Summary

    Foxit PhantomPDF offers three packages. What makes them unique isn't particularly clear. It's fairly easy to fall into the trap of paying for more than you need. However, the Standard package seems to do everything lawyers need (primarily, Bates Numbering). No client has ever requested any of the functionality offered by the other packages.

    If you're looking for a quality (fast, reliable, no-hassle) PDF editor, PhantomPDF is it. One of the best features is simply its pricing. It's a single, one-time payment. Then, the product works forever; it's yours.

    Foxit does offer an upgrade protection plan, which is reasonably priced and has always worked for my clients as advertised.

    The biggest downside for many clients is that there is no iOS or macOS version. In a mixed environment, this is problematic. The client has to call back to the office for someone else to make changes or they need to have a different PDF editor for these systems.

    As an Administrator, a huge nuisance is installing the software on a new computer. There is no easy way to find your version to download without creating an account. It may not be true, but this seems like an attempt to get you to buy the latest version or to push sales at you once they have your account information.

    I have only ever had to reach out to their support to sort out version downloads and volume licensing. In those cases, Foxit has been very responsive.

    Positive

    Price Point is excellent.
    Full-featured PDF Editor.
    Fast, responsive application.
    Support is quick to answer.

    Negative

    Access to the Installation File is a pain.
    Product package differences are vague.
    No version for macOS.
