Best PDF Editor for Business Documents, Converter as well.
Comments: I love it and have one at home and at the office. I will continue to use it on a regular basis. There are a LOT of functions and features that I am not even aware of it doing. I keep learning more of them daily.
Pros:
I love how easy it is for me to turn Word Documents into PDF's. I create reports with this software multiple times per day. I use it anytime I need to edit a document, sign something, change something, move something around. It does it all.
Cons:
For some reason, my software does not have a "White-Out" Option and my boss' does. We bought the same version???
Alternatives Considered:
a powerful tool that neatly embeds in a wide variety of applications and software
Comments: Foxit PDF SDK and their game-changing PDF management features has been at the core of our Research Digitization and Library project which came as an afterthought after we casually chanced upon the feature in an online resource video. So then, we have Foxit to thank for all the institutional funding we have raised through that project since its inception.
Pros:
The optical character recognition feature has been the single most powerful and productivity enhancing feature introduced in new versions of Foxit PDF SDK. It has allowed us to easily manage and review content of digitized research reports from sources that only had hard copies in storage. With this, we are steadily building a unique library of lost research materials that are not only readable, but searchable and can also be edited.
Cons:
Some component features were updated only for Windows 10 Systems, and this resulted in some difficulties in getting the entire team to collaborate effectively since some were using different operating systems that weren't compatible.
Did not like
Comments: I used it to edit a PDF Document. It got the job done.
Pros:
The one feature that was most important to me was to be able to edit PDF documents. I downloaded the free trial of this software from a recommendation of a colleague. I was hoping to really like it and be able to integrate it into my office, but the features just did not meet my needs. I was able to edit the documents that I needed, however.
Cons:
It is possible, that because I have been using Adobe for years, that I went into this software a little biased. But, I did not like this software at all. It was not user friendly, and it looked a like I was using something from the early 2000s. It just was too hard to figure out and I really didn’t like the layout of it.

Foxit PDF Software is great in it own way
Comments: 1. Foxit PDF Software Development Kit makes myself and my clients PDF documents handling very easy. You know adjusting a PDF file can be difficult without the right tool but Foxit PDF Software Development Kit removes that difficulty.
Pros:
1. I have used It for many months and it is very easy to use. 2. I love the multiple platform comparability. I recently changed from windows to Linux and Foxit was there to move with me to the new platform. 3. I am very fascinated with the document format conversion features. 4. I can edit everything and anything on my document.
Cons:
1. The software crashes sometimes. Maybe that's from my computer or not, I am not sure. 2. I think the customer support response time should be improved upon too
Foxit Phantom PDF review
Pros:
All PDF editing and security capabilities for a fraction of the cost. Easy to integrate with document management systems. layout is very user friendly as it mirrors microsoft office, but non cloud based digital so you can own the license.
Cons:
occasion bugs and system glitches, but are always handled very quickly by the IT team.
Foxit provides PDF solutions on par with Adobe at a cheaper price
Comments: Great product at a good price. Company is solid with support.
Pros:
Features are on par with Adobe. The user interface is modern but not crazy like the recent Adobe Acrobat interface redesigns. Generally fast and gets the job done.
Cons:
Very few cons. I have had mild intermittent crash problems but nothing that is a consistent problem that hinders use.
functional and fast application.
Comments: works perfectly from any computer, you do not need to have internet for your use.
Pros:
is an application that has been of great help to me, especially since I have to make and send different documents every day, such as admonitions, information, schedules, etc. It allows me to transform the information in pdf and avoid any modification.
Cons:
the download is quite fast as well as moving the documents to pdf, so for the people who must send documents via mail this application will be very useful.
Great tool for free
Pros:
An easy and free tool to manage most of my documents. Especially love the signature part.
Cons:
It is a bit slow sometime, but I can accept it for the functionality.
Easy and does not affect at all the functionality of my team.
Comments: allows me to quickly transfer documents that by their content should not be modified or reused by other people, thus maintaining their originality
Pros:
for my work I must constantly send documents to my students which should not be modified, with foxitReader allows me to move them quietly from Microsoftword to pdf.
Cons:
very fast download in less than 20 minutes already had it downloaded, does not affect the system of my team like other applications, its use is fast I think it's great, it has helped me to make my job much faster!
Got help
Pros:
We use this program to convert files from TIF to PDF. TIF files are so more heavy than PDF and when we need to send documents that is not the way to go. Mostly, because we send everything through email. it also allows you to print the document and to edit the archive.
Cons:
The program can get very slow sometimes.
Super easy PDF editor
Comments: I think its pretty easy to use, although theres a lot I have yet to master within the program I think it makes the basics of PDF editing simple for everyone
Pros:
I like how easy it is to convert images to PDFs and how easily Foxit makes it to edit or work on multiple PDFs at one time. I also enjoy the different editing features, such as the ease at which you can add radio buttons or text boxes.
Cons:
I do occasionally experience an issue when opening PDFs where the images are messed up in the sense that they are either discolored, or altogether just blurry or illegible, despite them being perfectly fine when I initially download them. I also do experience occasion crashing or freezing of the Foxit program but this has been happening less and less recently.,
the most comprehensive pdf utility tool
Comments: My overall experience has been amazing. The reflow function has made team presentations extremely easier and does not require us to create entirely new reformated documents simply to make the layout of downloaded documents align better with other pages being presented. My entire team and I have absolutely enjoyed working with it.
Pros:
Ease of use comes first and foremost. In terms of software features, its ability to combine selected portions or pages of multiple PDF documents and combine them into a single new document in your own preferred arrangement is my most useful feature. As someone who conducts a lot of online scholarly research, this feature allows me to better manage the volume of reference material I compile for later review.
Cons:
My only complaint is that it has no free version available. But I still do not regret paying for it, because it has exceeded the expectations I had.
Fox it
Comments: It has been very good.
Pros:
Very user friendly to convert docs to PDF and lock down from editing.
Cons:
Need a few more options when drawing construction markup maps or asbuilts.
The best pdf development kit.
Comments: Quick deployement has been one of the key features of foxit this has been the best part in the business.
Pros:
Foxit is easy to use, it has and easily understood interface. the fact that they sort of copied microsoft's interface to an extent, makes more integrate with the PC to the user that is. Foxit offers features that ensure document protection and access control.
Cons:
there is need for improvement on their themes side. they have 5 or so themes and that is quite not enough for aesthetics.
Linux best PDF authoring software
Comments: It is extremely useful in Linux. It makes the process of reviewing scientific paper very easy.
Pros:
After trying different PDF authoring software packages, I found that for Scientific Linux this is by far the best, it is the only that allows you to do fast and effective authoring of PDF files. Information for non Linux users: Adobe Acrobat has been deprecated for some years now and Foxit is the only one that compares (and exceeds) its functionality being a fast, secure and affordable solution. Local installation (no sudo privileges) is easy because every step is documented in the support centre. I use it to comment and review scientific papers.
Cons:
When viewing documents on Foxit, I haven't found a way to directly click on local (stored) PDF href links, I need to look for the local file and open it manually.

I personally and training have not found any cons with the software. I started using it and used it for months before rolling out to my team.
Great PDF tool
Comments: Very useful for the pdf needs on your daily basis. It is solving all the issues that my business need.
Pros:
I like that the free version of this software has improved and now it has more capability: Sign documents - Fill Out forms. These two features and the best.
Cons:
I do not like that sometimes it gets some conflicts with my system / laptop running Windows 10. Sometimes when I would like to search the hole folder for a word in group of documents, it does not let find them. Previously it permit me.

Comments: An easy program that contains features and tools that help you edit your document.
Pros:
The best feature of this program is that it contains many tools to modify the document as if you are using Word (a great program).

Foxit software allows me to open PDF's.
Pros:
Foxit software allows me to open PDF's on my computer. It has useful tools like highlighting and selecting. There are different versions available to use depending on your needs.
Cons:
I do wish there was more capability with the regular version of Foxit. It allows me to do what I need to, but not be creative.

Foxit pdf review
Pros:
Most used of software is to display for me. But that can be impoved adding comment and highlight
Cons:
I think editing tools of software should be impoved like Adobe acrobat
Foxit is such a great program when you work with many files daily!
Comments: It has been a great tool I use all day long!
Pros:
The program is easy to use with little to no training needed. You can combine multiple pages into 1 PDF document to make it much easier on customers. I have received a lot of positive feedback that they are grateful I took the time to do that after they initially sent in multiple separate pages.
Cons:
When arranging the documents into 1 file, they get out of order very easily so if you do not fix it yourself the first time you will have to go back and do that.
So many tools!
Comments: This is our go to software for opening, viewing, and editing pdfs.
Pros:
My favorite thing about this product is the various tools available to work with pdfs. I mostly use the security feature and the signature feature. I also like how easy it is to extract, switch and combine pages in pdfs.
Cons:
This software tends to crash and not respond a lot.
