"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.

"Versatile PDF Editor with Room for Merging Improvements"
5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I use Foxit PDF Editor to view PDFs and add comments and annotations, which is really helpful as a student. What I like most is the ability to split my course works into smaller parts, which makes it easier to tackle large files chapter by chapter. The feature to convert PDFs to Word is also very useful. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, with no stress at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I think improvement in the area of merging is needed. When I merge other documents, they should be scaled up to the existing files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Foxit PDF Editor for its speed, ease of use, and how it lets me quickly edit, sign, and fill out PDFs. It's reliable, intuitive, and makes handling PDF documents fast and hassle-free. The speed and simple interface allow me to complete and sign documents in minutes, helping me stay productive and keep engineering projects moving without unnecessary delays.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The only improvement I'd suggest is making some advanced features easier to find, but overall it works very well for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and User-Friendly PDF Editing"
5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I use Foxit PDF Editor for adding logos and watermarks to documents, and it allows me to add logos within a few seconds even if the PDF is hundreds of pages long. The user interface and user experience are very comfortable, making it easy to navigate through multiple options, PDFs, and menus. When I add a watermark, the editor provides multiple options like using an image or text, and I find placing the image logo at the correct position extremely efficient with the current format. I rely entirely on Foxit for watermark purposes because it is far faster than other tools we've tried. The initial setup was very easy, although I needed some time to figure out which subscription option to choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I need to add different logos to different files; I tried the option to save the logo image, but it did not help me a lot; so every time I have to choose the image and change its dimensions. It takes hardly a minute, but if I could save the image in the set format I want, it would have been better. 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.
