What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Running Foxit PDF Reader from Linux OS desktop is not ideal and full of bugs and dashboard error. As an example, I need to change document format from PDF to WORDX format and the transform button isn't clickable and just freeze in place, restarting the software for few times is not fixing the issue at all.

"Fast to Install, Easy PDF Merging and Converting with Foxit PDF Reader"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

What I like most about Foxit PDF Reader is how quick it is to implement and install on any device, whether on a computer or a mobile device. I can simply install it on a new device and keep using the same login details without limitations. I use it daily to open and read PDF documents containing client company details for consultation services, and to provide high-performance advice to customers. Tools like the page merger help me combine several pages into one document, so all related documents are kept together in a single file for easier document management. The file converter is also very useful: I can convert a PDF to JPEG and attach it to an email to retain the original layout, so I no longer have problems with misaligned formatting.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Using Foxit PDF Reader on macOS, I’ve run into far too many bugs compared with other operating systems like Windows. One example is the file compressor: it doesn’t actually reduce the file size and instead keeps the original size, yet the app still shows a notification saying the operation was successful. That’s really baffling to me, and it makes the macOS version feel less reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Foxit PDF Reader?

I like that Foxit PDF Reader is very complete in both the paid and free versions, addressing all basic needs without the issues seen in other PDF suites because it's lean and doesn't consume much space or resources. It's also very easy to use, as it's straightforward to download, install, and activate without any hidden steps. Additionally, it helps to securely send documents and ensures that they can't be easily modified. I also appreciate that it simplifies signing, proofreading, and converting PowerPoint presentations and resizing files for easy transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Reader?

Sometimes, it can be a bit of a learning curve with Foxit PDF Reader, especially for people who are accustomed to using Adobe PDF. There's a little bit of resistance to change, but once you get used to it, it becomes straightforward and integrates well with your environment. Also, I wish the free version included more editing capabilities for handling PDFs on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
