"PDF editing tools at a Competitive Price"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I like Foxit PDF Editor; it is a very robust application, with a lot of tools that are very intuitive to use, such as text and text box editing, the ability to add new content, images, links, bookmarks, and symbols, as well as signing documents, protecting them, separating pages, and reorganizing them. Also, the initial setup was simple and quick. On the other hand, I value the price, which seems very competitive to me compared to other tools on the market, as it offers the same (or even more) editing options.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I find the deployment with Intune very complicated and, moreover, the official guides are quite outdated. I would like them to develop a better application to be able to deploy it massively and to publish an updated guide, really up to date with Microsoft's changes.

On the other hand, the comments in the PDFs are not very intuitive, both for using them and for verifying them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's been much more than just a PDF Editor in my experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

At first, I thought Foxit would simply be a good enough alternative to the tool we were using before. After several months, though, I realized that for many tasks it was actually more convenient. The first thing that stood out to me was the performance. I work constantly with technical documentation, contracts, diagrams, specifications, and some pretty large PDF files. Before, opening a large document often meant waiting around. With Foxit, the difference was noticeable from day one. Files open quickly, and the application uses fewer resources than I expected. That smooth experience really adds up when you're opening dozens of PDFs every day. From a UI/UX perspective, it felt familiar almost immediately. Another unexpected benefit was electronic signatures. We originally got Foxit for PDF editing, but we ended up using eSign as well for internal approvals and documents that required signatures.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The OCR feature is very good, but it’s not perfect. With low-quality scans or very old documents, we ran into some recognition errors that still needed manual review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient solution for managing and editing PDF documents"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

In my work operation manager I regularly work with PDF documents such as policy files, reports, and client documents. Foxit PDF Editor makes it easy to edit text, add comments, and manage multiple files in one place. For example, I use it to review policy documents, add remarks, and make quick corrections before sharing with clients or team members. The interface is simple and responsive, which helps me complete tasks quickly without switching between different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Some advanced features take time to understand initially, especially if you are new to the tool. Also, while working with large PDF files, there can be slight lag at times. However, for regular editing and document handling, it works smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies PDF Management with Speed and Ease"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I mostly use Foxit PDF Editor for editing PDF files, filling forms, and merging documents, which makes handling PDFs much easier and faster. I find the OCR feature quite useful when I need text from scanned files. Foxit saves me a lot of time, allowing me to edit or convert documents in one place. I like most how easy and fast it is to use; PDF files open quickly, and the interface is simple to understand. The OCR feature and editing tools save me a lot of time when working with documents, and I appreciate that there are no issues. I like that it doesn't feel complicated like some other PDF tools, making merging files, adding comments, and converting documents straightforward. Even larger PDF files work smoothly on my laptop, which is something I really appreciate. These features keep things organized and make the process much more convenient. The initial setup was easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

One thing that could be improved is that some advanced features are a little hard to find at first. Also, sometimes editing PDFs with different fonts can be a bit inconsistent. It's not a big problem, but making these features easier to use would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, But Pricey PDF Solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I use Foxit PDF Editor for creating purchase orders, signing, and editing documents, which I find very simple and easy to use. It's very easy to edit documents, making it accessible for anyone. The edit tool is very helpful and stands out for me. The initial setup was also easy, and I am able to set it up for other employees. Overall, I switched to Foxit PDF Editor from Adobe primarily due to cost, but I have no complaints about its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fair-Priced, Reliable, and solid tool for an end user and MSP!"
4/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

The UI did feel a little overwhelming at first, but it's very similar to the office ribbon layout, so I quickly adapted it. We use Foxit as an MSP and find it fits our and our customers' needs at a fair price point.

I've had no performance issues at all. It's easy to set up and install. The administration can be a little more complex, but nothing that those used to products can't handle.

There are some AI integrations to Foxit that work well such as the auto redaction, though this isn't something I have used personally I have seen customers use it and they seemed very happy at the end result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

To be critical, it would be specifically as an administrator of the product. It took me a while to really get to grips with the control panel.

But to be clear, the PDF editor itself is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Easy PDF Editing with a Simple Interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

What I like most about Foxit PDF Editor is that it's fast and easy to use. I can edit text, add comments, sign documents, and convert files without any hassle. The interface is simple, so it didn't take me long to figure out where everything was. It also opens large PDF files pretty quickly, which is really helpful when I'm working on college notes or assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

One thing I don't like about Foxit PDF Editor is that some of the really useful features are only available in the paid version, so the free version feels a bit limited. Sometimes there are so many tools on the screen that it takes me a while to find the one I need. I've also noticed that it can slow down a little when I'm editing very large PDF files, but it doesn't happen often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Document Signing with Speedy Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I appreciate Foxit PDF Editor's dynamic signature and stamp feature, which is a life saver for signing the same document layout every day. I can quickly sign, fill out my name, and include a dynamic date all with one click. The program launches quickly and does not have annoying pop-ups, allowing me to get what I need done efficiently, and it's miles better than Adobe. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I wish the UI was a little more modern. Some features I am still learning what tab they fall under. But I chop it up to be getting familiar with the software mostly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I think something we can tell, adobe is the best choose in schneider store with IT Managerment Store when install new windows for our user with laptop device, but Foxit PDF Editor will available to support us open the file when it not available to work with Adobe Acrobat, And sure the performance is better for loading in low quality and old laptop device. Almost support available for onboarding user when allow them sign documents easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Hmm. let me think, I think it free, still same Adobe, but the safe security from it doesn't have, and it will allow user editor the PDF with something include and when they publish to webhost, it not easy for intergrations like adobe, UI/UX in web is hmm not beautiful and hard to use for connection. without AI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
