"Simplify PDF document reading and editing"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

The primary reason I use Foxit PDF Reader is its extensive support for various file formats and types. I depend on features such as file editing, exporting, and password protection in my daily workflow. The software is very user-friendly—nothing feels unnecessarily complex, making tasks like scanning documents or editing fields in digital forms straightforward and manageable. My experiences with their customer support have also been consistently positive. While they state a response time of 3-5 days, I typically receive a reply within two days, especially when addressing issues like password resets or access problems with the dashboard.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Using this on a Linux OS is possible, but I encountered numerous bugs. Many of the buttons are unclickable, as the bugs cause them to appear grayed out, making some tools unusable. I'm not sure if this problem is common or if it only occurs on my machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Batch conversion is the critical tools to create a batch of document and convert it to PDF format in one go, not only saving time, also reduce manual tasks. It also offer tools like Protect ( to add password to document for security), Editing History (option to rollback to previous edit/version), and Field Functions (to add different field option like checkbox and radio box) that is easy to drag and drop to the document. As a conclusion, Foxit PDF Reader is more than just a PDF reader, also work as editor and integrate easily with Google Cloud for faster file storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, Stable PDF Reader with Free Account To Explore"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit PDF Reader has climb and position their rank for one of the most popular and stable software as a PDF Reader, in my opinion, I also agree with this statement, give how easy to open and read PDF document using their flexible platform that operate on both desktop version and web-browser application. It still relying on the parent software for editing PDF, the integration is easy and need no extra add-on to be installed. Tools like PDF manager, text editor and file format converter is what I use almost every week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Some tools isn't there to be find, the OCR tools only available on premium account. Even with paid package, I still find the OCR is lacking in speed and accuracy in detecting custom text on image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient, Lightweight, and Feature Rich PDF Reader for Daily Use"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

Foxit PDF Reader is very easy to use. At my wife's homeopathy clinic, we use it daily to open and manage patient case files. These files include patient history, current symptoms, and prescriptions all saved in PDF format. Foxit helps us view, highlight, and update these files quickly. I also use it as a YouTube content creator. I read my script PDFs, make notes, and edit ideas easily. Foxit PDF Reader is very easy to use with a clean design, it was installed and ready within minutes, we use it daily, it has all the useful tools like comment, highlight, and form filling, and it works smoothly with email and cloud storage.
