"Transforms PDF Editing with Speed and Ease"
4/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I used Foxit PDF Editor to handle some plans for our teams, especially for inserting our mobile cranes on the plans and calculating distances, and it has been really effective. I love how rapidly I can open big files, even those from AutoCAD, which Adobe just can't handle as well. Editing PDFs is also a breeze. It's very soft and clean, faster than I expected, and incredibly simple, intuitive, and well-optimized. I used Adobe before switching and it was frustrating because we lost a lot of time. Foxit makes my work go faster, saving both time and money. The initial setup was very simple, which was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-Effective Adobe Acrobat Alternative with Seamless Functionality"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I like the all-in-one functionality of Foxit PDF Editor. Everything I need is in one tool, like editing, annotation, form filling, e-signatures, reduction, compression, and conversion. I don't need to switch between multiple apps. It opens and processes files noticeably faster. The annotation and comments tools make it easy to communicate feedback without emailing back and forth, as everyone sees the same marked-up version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The main issue I have with Foxit PDF Editor is formatting inconsistencies when editing. When I edit text in PDFs that weren't originally created in Foxit, the formatting can become unpredictable. The font batching is sometimes off, and it substitutes a slightly different font or weight, which looks unprofessional, especially on client-facing documents. Also, editing complex layouts, like dense multi-column layouts in lengthy documents or reports, can get messy. Text behaves unexpectedly, and realigning everything manually takes more time than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Foxit is a simple PDF editing tool that helps us in converting PDF files into different file formats. According to our needs this software helps us in storing different type of business documents all together in a single platform and make sure that all the editing can be done on the files smoothly without damaging the file extensions.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

There is nothing to dislike about Foxit pdf editor because it is a simple user friendly PDF editing software that you can access from its application or from the web browser itself. It is just that if they can add some more premium features like image editing and free templates then it would have been much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly and Cost-Effective PDF Solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I really like the batch print function as it allows me to print a large amount of documents at once and saves me a lot of time. Also, it is very low cost as compared to Adobe's e-signature add on. I like the user-friendly format and familiar interface. I enjoy the ability to work with many documents. The bookmarks function works really well to organize pages in a logical manner once you get the hang of it. The initial setup of Foxit PDF Editor was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I have set it as my default application several times but it keeps forgetting. Also, it is frustrating that I can't install updates on my work PC without admin credentials. Also, the boilerplate email for requesting e-signatures cannot be edited without clicking into several menus - it would be much easier to just change the text in the default message but I cannot since it is grayed out.

"Efficient, Seamless, but Pricey PDF Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I like the e-sign option that allows me to add my e-signature to PDF documents. It works seamlessly across desktop (Windows & Mac) and mobile (iOS & Android) devices, which minimizes effort and maximizes productivity. Foxit PDF Editor is easy to use and saves me a lot of time. I also appreciate how it integrates with cloud storage services like Google Drive, and it works well within Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Switching to Foxit PDF Editor was also influenced by its speed, feature set, and pricing compared to alternatives. The initial setup was easy and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The subscription is pretty expensive, and the free version has limited features compared to the premium/paid version, which is frustrating if you don't necessarily need or want to pay for a subscription, especially if you only use it occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly PDF Editing with Room for Improved Clarity"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I like that Foxit PDF Editor has a desktop app, making it easy to open files. The various features offered are abundant and easy to use. I find the software user-friendly and intuitive with lots of features. The initial setup was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I'm unclear on how many devices can be used at the same time for a license. They should make it more clear when signing up for the trial or in FAQs. Also, I'm not using it with any other tools. Foxit should have some training resources on which tools are compatiple, how to set them up, and how to use/integrate them smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient PDF Editing with Room for AI Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I really like how Foxit PDF Editor offers a full suite of PDF services all in one place. It makes editing text, images, and formatting straightforward without having to convert files to and from Word, preserving the document's structure and consistency. It's great for adding structured commands to PDFs, which makes it easier to extract key findings and organized insights from papers. The eSign feature is really useful for filling out applications and forms, including copyright agreements and submissions to medical journals. I also appreciate its capability to quickly identify fonts used in PDFs and allow for highlighting, comments, and notes. The setup was easy, and it strikes a good balance since it integrates various features efficiently. I love that they have additional feautures, such as snapshot, which is really impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The Foxit PDF Editor packaging is huge, like 1.2 gigabytes, and runs heavy on my computer. They don't promote their cloud editor enough. The AI services aren't really mature and need more capabilities, like easily filling forms and applications. When I enter text, it doesn't automatically convert to the same font, which is a hassle. Also, it doesn't detect images in PDFs well, which makes editing them frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosts Productivity with Seamless PDF Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I appreciate that Foxit PDF Editor opens PDF files quickly and even larger PDF documents or design files load smoothly on my laptop without any lag. The UI is simple to understand and feels very similar to the Microsoft Office ribbon layout, making it easy to quickly adapt and use without adding extra complexity. It makes editing PDF files, filling forms, merging files, adding comments, and highlighting important sections straightforward and convenient in one place. The OCR feature is highly useful for extracting text from scanned files, and integration with tools like OneDrive allows quick access to documents. The AI integrations, like auto redaction, work very well. Additionally, Foxit PDF Editor improves overall daily productivity by simplifying PDF editing, form filling, and document merging in one central location without switching tools. It acts as a reliable, cost-efficient tool. I also find the initial setup and installation process to be straightforward and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Some of the advanced features and options are a little hard to find at first and take some extra time to fully explore. When an original file does not have embedded fonts, editing PDFs with different fonts can look a bit inconsistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
