What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The software is simple and mainly developed for handling PDFs. So, I don't think there is much to dislike about this tool. It is just that I use IOS devices more and there is no proper software available on Apple Store that's why I don't get the flexibility to use it from my mobile phone and I only access it from PC in the web version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Lightweight, and User-Friendly PDF Editing"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

Foxit has quickly become my go-to PDF editor. It’s fast, lightweight, and incredibly user-friendly compared to other tools I’ve used. Editing text, signing documents, merging files—everything feels smooth and intuitive. I also appreciate how stable it is and how rarely it slows down my computer.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

If I had to point out a downside, it would be that some of Foxit’s more advanced features are tucked away in menus that aren’t immediately obvious. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but there’s a slight learning curve if you want to unlock its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosts Productivity with Ease and Speed"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I really appreciate how Foxit PDF Editor enhances my daily workflow as a dermatologist and dietitian. Its speed and lightweight nature make it a fantastic alternative to Adobe Acrobat, allowing me to manage a high volume of patient files swiftly without the system slowdowns I experienced before. The setup was impressively simple, enabling me to start working right away without any hassle. I value its consistent performance; it remains fast and smooth with no need for constant adjustments or reinstallation, which is crucial for keeping pace with my busy schedule. The editor's clean interface and straightforward tools make handling patient files seamless. The annotation, editing, and merging features are essential for updating patient histories and improving organizational tasks such as highlighting treatment areas in before-and-after images. Moreover, the e-signature capability streamlines the process of signing prescriptions and merging lab reports. It integrates well with platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox Sign, further aiding in secure and organized document management. Overall, its reliability, ease of use, and practical features fit perfectly into my routine, greatly enhancing efficiency and productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I wish it handled heavy files a bit faster. Sometimes when I work with large scanned reports or before and after treatment skin-related images, it lags slightly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless PDF Editing with Smart AI Redaction and Seamless Cloud Integration"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

For the first time, editing a PDF isn't complicated anymore. No bulky software with too many unused add-on is force to be installed, it really saves the storage space on my computer. Using digital document has too many benefits, first user don't need to print-out physical document anymore, second, it is easier to transfer document to client by sending it thru cloud storage integration. The AI assistant make a huge difference in document redaction, it automatically detect sensitive information and put up a black strip over the word to cover the information, I don't have to manually proofread all the document one-by-one, which can take more than 3 hours to finish skimmed all the wording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Text recognition tools (OCR) to scan physical document is either hit or miss to detect image on scanned document. For text, it work well and only less then 5% text isn't correctly detected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Foxit everyday for managing PDF and edit its text and layout before sending the final draft to superior for approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive PDF Editing Made Effortless and Effective"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

Foxit PDF Editor sets itself apart from other similar tools with its comprehensive features for editing, creating, and generating documents. For example, I am able to create new documents using the built-in templates in under 10 minutes, which has made my daily workflow much more efficient. I especially appreciate the option to scan documents and use the OCR tools to extract text, images, and graphs from physical papers. With just a single click, all the text is recognized and can be easily copied and transferred into a digital format. When it comes to integration, I use Foxit PDF Editor alongside Dropbox for cloud storage, which allows me to keep my documents in one central location. The software is simple to set up and install, and I like having the flexibility to access it through a web browser, on my mobile device, or via the desktop application. Each platform offers a full suite of tools, making Foxit PDF Editor a highly adaptable solution for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The basic account restricts access to all tools and features. You are limited to editing just the first three pages, and if you wish to work on more, you have to upgrade to the premium package. In addition, each page you save with the basic account displays their logo, which can be problematic and may come across as unprofessional to clients. In my experience, the basic account ends up creating more difficulties than it resolves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect option for PDF Editing on Mobile with Foxit Editor"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

One of the advantages of Foxit Editor is its smooth performance on mobile devices. I appreciate that I don't have to set up my laptop just to preview or make minor text changes to a PDF document. Additionally, the app is easy to implement since it's readily available on Google Play and can be downloaded directly from there. It's a suitable choice for daily use, as it's lightweight and doesn't consume too many smartphone resources. I also find it convenient to compress and convert PDF files, and the open integration API allows for easy connection with software like Box for secure cloud storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Editing or creating a new PDF on a smartphone can feel awkward at first. Using my finger to select text or other elements is difficult because the text is often too small to tap accurately. Aligning a data table is also confusing on a mobile device. Overall, I find it much easier to create a new PDF using the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"More intuitive and easier to use than the original PDF editor. Buy once, cry once. Easy functionality with Windows 11!"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

The strength of the user interface just grows with time. Lots of other editors (Adobe, Libre) try to have a bunch of separate tools for each function, leading to a fragmented navigation experience. I really like having a toolbar and just selecting what I want. There's always the search function if you can't find what you are looking for. The document search function is also better than other reader/editor packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Perpetual licensing from Foxit is a little harder to find, and support for legacy perpetual versions is now limited, but it's still a terrific product. I had to move my license key to a new machine due to Windows 11, and it was effortless. I'm glad I saved the original download .zip, though, because it's not downloadable anymore. I wish Foxit would at least retain an archive for folks that have storage issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
