Foxit PDF Editor Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

In my work, I regularly deal with design documents, reports, and technical PDFs, so having a tool that opens files quickly is important. Foxit performs well in that aspect even larger documents load smoothly without lag.

The UI feels familiar, similar to Microsoft Office tools, so it didn’t take much time to get used to. I mainly use it for reviewing drawings, adding comments, and highlighting important sections, and those features are easy to access.

Integration with tools like OneDrive is also helpful, as it allows quick access to documents without managing files separately. Overall, it fits well into daily work without adding extra complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One issue I’ve noticed is with fonts in some documents. When the original file doesn’t have embedded fonts, editing can be slightly inconsistent.

Also, while most features are easy to use, some advanced options take time to explore fully. It’s not a major issue, but it could be more intuitive in those areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Foxit PDF Editor's dynamic signature and stamp feature, which is a life saver for signing the same document layout every day. I can quickly sign, fill out my name, and include a dynamic date all with one click. The program launches quickly and does not have annoying pop-ups, allowing me to get what I need done efficiently, and it's miles better than Adobe. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy.

I wish the UI was a little more modern. Some features I am still learning what tab they fall under. But I chop it up to be getting familiar with the software mostly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think something we can tell, adobe is the best choose in schneider store with IT Managerment Store when install new windows for our user with laptop device, but Foxit PDF Editor will available to support us open the file when it not available to work with Adobe Acrobat, And sure the performance is better for loading in low quality and old laptop device. Almost support available for onboarding user when allow them sign documents easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hmm. let me think, I think it free, still same Adobe, but the safe security from it doesn't have, and it will allow user editor the PDF with something include and when they publish to webhost, it not easy for intergrations like adobe, UI/UX in web is hmm not beautiful and hard to use for connection. without AI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Foxit PDF Editor stands out thanks to its high-performance engine and smooth drag-and-drop interface, letting me manipulate text and images quickly without the lag I often run into with heavier editors. Its best-in-class OCR accurately converts scanned documents into fully editable files, and the automated redaction tools make it easy to secure sensitive information. On top of that, the economical licensing—with both perpetual and subscription options—delivers a full suite of professional features, including AI-assisted summaries and eSignatures, at a much lower cost than Adobe Acrobat.

Foxit PDF Editor is often criticized for its steep learning curve. Its dense, ribbon-style interface can make it hard for new users to locate advanced tools, especially when compared with simpler alternatives. Performance may also become sluggish or unstable when working with exceptionally large files or complex merge jobs, and it can occasionally crash, creating a risk of data loss during high-volume tasks. In addition, I’ve been frustrated by a confusing licensing structure and customer support that feels unresponsive, particularly when dealing with billing disputes or technical glitches during the activation process.

I handle many patient documents like lab reports, ultrasound reports, and discharge summaries. I use Foxit PDF Editor to open and review these files quickly. It is easy to use, and I was able to start using it without much training.

I often highlight important findings and add short notes while reviewing reports. It is also useful for writing online prescriptions and making small corrections when needed. The merge option helps me combine multiple reports into one file, which makes patient records easier to manage. As a medical educator, I also use it to prepare medical notes and mark important topics for teaching students. I use it regularly during the day, and it works smoothly with other systems we use, so managing files feels simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One small issue I notice is when working with scanned patient files that have many pages, sometimes the text is not perfectly clear for selection, so highlighting specific lines can take a little extra effort. This usually happens with older scanned reports.

Also, when I open very large combined patient files, the first loading can take a few extra seconds.

Overall, these are minor issues, and they do not affect my regular work in a big way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently I have used some of the most advanced feature of Foxit pdf editor and this software has now split, merging and reordering pages feature for complete control documents management. It also helps us in editing scanned documents for extra resources and time saving in our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Foxit pdf editor from quite a while now and my observation on this software is that the new users face challenges in accessing all the advance features. Also they struggle a lot to find the required tool for themselves so I would recommend their developers to provide training sessions for their new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Foxit PDF Editor has introduced several useful improvements recently. One of the standout features is its enhanced AI powered tools, which make summarizing, rewriting, and extracting key information from PDFs much faster and more efficient. The interface also feels more streamlined and responsive, improving overall usability. Additionally, the collaboration features, such as commenting and shared reviews, have become more intuitive, making it easier for teams to work together on documents. The improved performance and faster loading times are also a big plus for day to day use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Foxit PDF Editor is a strong tool overall, but there are a few areas for improvement. The interface can feel a bit complex for new users, and some advanced features are limited to higher tier plans. Performance can slow down with large or complex files, and real time collaboration could be more seamless. Improving OCR accuracy and simplifying the overall user experience would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still like the general ease to use Foxit considering as with any vendor, there are going to be differences, which is not always a bad thing. So for this part, I would say unchanged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only other issue if any and I understand is this concept of when you purchase a perpetual license, that if anything, I know things change and releases change with that. But to get to the point where things don't work so well later, is the thing I'm finding when now with a number of these individual licenses that we prefer to use, that I have some on one version versus another on another version. So not only do I have to note when a user's having an issue where I might need to repair or even uninstall and reinstall the application, there's no clear indication of which version to use until I go back to the original purchase of the license. Other than that, I can deal with that but just wondering if other administrators or users have the same concerns of always having to keep up with another software version and I don't want to end up having to purchase another license for a user that has had a license, to basically make that original license null and void. Other than that, we're good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Been using Adobe for years but there was an issue with my legacy program (15 yrs old) that they would not help me with ... so I found FOXIT, and IMHO, it is a better user experience than I had with Adobe. Anyone who does not want to pay adobe exorbitant costs WILL be happy with FOXIT ... at least same and I think better set up if you use some of FOXIT's shortcuts and use the task bar effectively. I'm so happy I chose FOXIT. FOXIT is easy to use, even for a newbie beginner on the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know you will hate me saying this, but in the first moth / 6 weeks I've used FOXIT haven't found any weaknesses. I use it for editing pdfs, creating images and so on, and haven't come across any issues, except (maybe) that some of the tools are difficult to find on the menu bar where all the functions live. Probably with continuing use I'll find where they are and it will become second nature. It's a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
