It is simple, fast, and very useful for exam preparation. The free version is enough for most student needs and the zoom feature is very helpful for reading small text. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features are only available in the paid version, and the interface feels basic compared to newer apps. There are occasional upgrade prompts, and syncing features are limited in the free version > > Foxit PDF Reader became a very important tool during my physiotherapy exam preparation in Canada. Since all my textbooks were in India, I had to rely on soft copies, which I was initially not comfortable with because I always preferred physical books. After using Foxit, my experience changed completely as I could highlight, underline, and add notes just like in a real book. I used it daily for studying, revision, and mock exams, and it became a key part of my preparation. The zoom feature also helped me read small or photocopied text easily on my tablet, making studying more comfortable and effective. ----- ### "FoxIt Reader - the Best PDF reader out there - and it's FREE" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *November 25, 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast program to install and run, and has many additional options beyond a simple PDF reader. You can comment/mark-up the PDF and save the changes. > > **Cons**: The install wants to install a trial version of the Editor - easy enough to disable, but still a bit of a nuisance. > > Top-notch PDF reader. Far superior to "the other program" or Browsers. Runs quickly, doesn't nag you to constantly upgrade. Many options. ----- ### "A Good Change" — 5.0/5 > **Shailyn** | *January 23, 2025* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to customize the "skin" into dark mode and the use of the e-Sign feature. > > **Cons**: Just getting used to it, it's a change from Adobe. > > So far so good, I like the way it's set up, the e-sign feature is very helpful. I can customize the application to my liking. ----- ### "Foxit PDF Reader: Simple to use" — 4.0/5 > **Thomas** | *October 27, 2024* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to install and creating, modifying and signing documents is very simple. > > **Cons**: If I had to choose one thing to dislike, it would be that adding multiple signatures onto one account required a bit of trial and error, and looking on the internet for help, as it was not a crystal clear process. However, that is a very small issue, as otherwise I have no complaints. ----- ### "Better and lighter than Adobe" — 5.0/5 > **Felipe** | *July 17, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that is more stable, lighter and complete than Adobe PDF Reader. It does the same but quicker using less ressourses > > **Cons**: In the last year they have started to send out updates very often and they always want to push you to install the paid version ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/175376/connectedpdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/175376/connectedpdf) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
