"An Awesome Software"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader is just the best when it comes to opening documents. In fact, it does more than just reading documents to allow users to protect, share and store their documents. It incorporates all the functionalities expected in a modern software. It has a great interface which makes it very easy to use. The software has its functionalities ordered in a manner it seems everything is located where it should. The software is also readily available. It does not trouble to download and install it. Even my grandmother can use it. With just a click of a mouse, PDF documents are open. It does require advanced hardware capabilities to function optimally. It is light enough to run in a computer with reasonable hardware capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

I like using features such as sharing, collaboration, protection and file conversion in Foxit Reader. However, I can't have the features for free. I will need to pay for their premium version of the software. As much as the software has the best interface, the advert which pops up every time it is launched sets it back. It is intrusive .

"Easy organization of PDF files and feature-rich reader"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

I use the Foxit PDF reader every day to read documents and reports generated in PDF format. It organizes my most recent PDF documents on the home page for easy access. I can add notes, callouts, text boxes, and also stamps to PDF files. The Foxit reader also allows me to share PDF documents with others, either by creating a public link, on social media, and also sharing privately. There are many plugins available that make my experience incredible. Plugins like Connected Review allow us to collaborate with other participants by sharing and receiving feedback on the same document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

The only limitation I have found in the Foxit reader is converting a PDF file into an image, Word document, or PowerPoint presentation; I must log in to Foxit online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foxit Reader a good option for pdf visualization"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit PhantomPDf is one of the best applications for viewing pdf files, is very light in size with a nice design and with a very simple and fast interface that facilitates navigation and use of its tools without the worry that the application can get stuck even when loading extremely large files.

It has a set of tools for reviewing, editing, creating documents that really make the use of Foxit Reader a good experience, mainly in today's times where most documents and writings on the Internet come in this format and Foxit allows us access to this inexhaustible source of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

It has certain shortcomings in its design that can surely be fixed with new updates in its codes, such as the converter to Word that sometimes gives activation problems and the shading tool that is quite deficient. In addition ideal serial have much more variety when converting pdf to other formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foxit Reader is a Powerful Reader that Has Been Tested"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

What I like most about Foxit Reader is its interface. It has the best interface and it is appealing to any one using it. There is no doubt they took their time to design how the icons should like and the whole software is just amazing. While it has the best features around, the software is still light. It is not resource intensive and it opens a document with a click of a button. What's more, I can easily protect my documents with a password and even share them easily through a link provided. Foxit Reader has been my default document reader since time immemorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader's advanced features such as document sharing require you to pay for its premium version. As much as the premium features are advanced, they should be free just like in other pdf readers. Additionally, it could also use some additional functionalities. Nevertheless, Foxit Reader is a great software and the pros outweighs the cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foxit Reader Meets All My Requirements of an Exceptional PDF Reader"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader has been my default PDF reader not for lack of a better option, but because it serves me the best way possible. First, its interface is the best. The PDF reader is very easy to use and all you need to do is make it your default PDF reader and you will have your documents open with a click of a mouse. The software is very light and it doesn't cause problems with my limited hardware capabilities. It allows me to protect my documents with a password and it has some editing features that helps to make minor but important changes to the text. Every aspect of the reader was designed creatively to enhance user experience. The functionalities are strategically-located around the reader to leave no chance for obstruction and ensure easy access. The software is free and readily available for installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader doesn't have much to offer beyond document opening. Not with the free version of the software. To get the full functionalities of Foxit Reader including document sharing and format conversion, you will need to upgrade to its premium version. I feel it would be better if Foxit Reader took their advanced functionalities and capabilities to other areas including word processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lightweight PDF reader"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Is so light it installs very quickly on the computer and works very quickly.

The files are not seen in a slow way, that is, it does not take long to load files with large amounts of information and graphics, this is very useful when using PDF files in business presentations.

Something that I love is that it does not use any type of plugin for browsers and this causes that the files are downloaded in the pc and they do not open inside the explorer becoming slow with the risk that the computer is locked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit is great for its size, it fulfills what it promises but sometimes when we want to select a part of the text it does it half-way, it does not shade everything I want and I have to try it several times until I achieve it. But that would be the only thing that should be improved. I like the rest of the program because it is very practical and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foxit Reader is Unbeaten in Reading Documents"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader has been my favorite document reading software since I was introduced to the world of computers. I not only use it on my pc, but also in my mobile devices. It opens PDF documents seamlessly and it launches very fast utilizing reasonable hardware capabilities. I have had bad experience with other software but Foxit Reader has never failed to respond no matter the number of documents I have opened at the same time. What's more, Foxit Reader is free, readily available and easy to install. It has a great interface that makes me want to read more. I like the design of its display and I can easily access functionalities. Lastly, I can protect my documents with a password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit Reader's functionalities are limited to document opening and reading. I feel they could do more on editing features. With the excellent interface, it would be nice to utilize more editing features on Foxit Reader. Additionally, you will need a premium version of Foxit Reader to access more advanced features such as document conversion and sharing. I feel that it would be more competitive if it offered sharing and conversion features for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I just need Foxit to read my text files whether or not they are PDF. Very versatile"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

This program is very simple to use, does not take up much storage space on my hard drive and is very easy to use. Lom ejor of all is that it has many options that I see in other programs paying, I can open my Word files without any problem and convert them to PDF without being damaged. When creating a PDF from the beginning, the program allows me to do it without problems, I can protect it with a password, I can also make notes or underline texts. It has full compatibility with the other Foxit products so it is not only a common pdf reader but a much more complex tool. I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Actually I have not found something to complain about Foxit reader, it is great all the iopciones it has, even the interface is very colorful and pleasing to the eye. Much better than its most famous competitors. 100% recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

I really like Foxit because it has a big compatibility with word files and that saves me a lot of work since some of my files are in this format and I don't have to make them again. The program interface is very intuitive and easy to use, it has a wide variety of options and allows me to protect my files against editing. I can annotate and underline paragraphs. Best of all, it takes up little storage space on my hard drive making foxit reader a versatile and very easy to install program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

I really have nothing to complain about with respect to Foxit reader, it is more like that to be a free program it has many tools that in other programs are paid. It really meets all my expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
