RB Ricardo B. School Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/9/2022 "Do NOT purchase this product." 0/5 What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader? It seems like it is easy and useful, but when you actually use it, it looks like software that should still be under development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader? The OCR scanning functionality is about the worst on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Foxit PDF Reader solving and how is that benefiting you? It was an absolute waste of money for me.

Construction Estimator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/18/2021 "Newest iteration of Foxit PDF Reader has a set of terrible changes" 0.5/5 What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader? There are no changes to Foxit PDF Reader in the latest version (Version: 11.0.0.49893) that I can review positively. All unchanged aspects are still outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader? The UI has changed for the worst: When reading multiple PDFs, it is difficult to see which PDF is active. The Orange banner at the top makes it hard to read the current PDF and the various tabs are barely visible when one, in particular, is selected. The area highlight tool, when used across multiple pages, leaves this horrible, multi-sectioned area highlight. All keyboard binds have defaulted to original settings (this has never happened before with any previous update of Foxit PDF Reader). Lastly, the comment tab that used to open at the top of the toolbar was unintrusive and easy to navigate; Now, the comment toolbar pops up on the right-hand side of the screen, and I must wait for this to load on every PDF. Overall, I am highly disappointed with every modified aspect of the newest version of Foxit PDF Reader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Foxit PDF Reader solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Foxit PDF Reader to view and comment between 40-60 PDFs weekly, marking spots for changes and double-checking others' work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
