## Foxit PDF SDK Reviews
  ### 1. Extremely complicated application

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Foxit PDF SDK?**

The app does offer a wide array of features but the learning curve is extremely steep

**What do you dislike about Foxit PDF SDK?**

The app feature names are not very descriptive for someone coming from Adobe Acrobat Pro

**What problems is Foxit PDF SDK solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Adding signatures to documents and editing PDFs

  ### 2. Not the top PDF reader. Would not choose this one unless it were my only option.

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2018

**What do you like best about Foxit PDF SDK?**

It works well with most PDFs, but it does have it's limits. It does not have nearly as many options for viewing certain image files like Adobe Acrobat or Apple Preivew does. It is free though, so that's definitely a plus if you're not looking to spend any money on a PDF reader.

**What do you dislike about Foxit PDF SDK?**

It has its issues and glitches. While it is free, you do get what you pay for. It doesn't have nearly the support or capabilities as other PDF readers do. 

**Recommendations to others considering Foxit PDF SDK:**

Definitely would recommend other PDF readers over this one if you can afford it to pay for one. But it works well for basic PDFS and is free.

**What problems is Foxit PDF SDK solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've used Foxit for reviewing PDFs for errors and using it for proofing. I've also printed from Foxit. I've realized that it's a good free option, but will likely stick with another PDF reader.
