"A Versatile PDF Tool with Intuitive AI Features"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I have been using Foxit PDF Editor for approximately one year for various official purposes, such as editing, signing, and converting PDF documents. The simplicity and ease of use of the interface make Foxit PDF Editor a highly efficient tool for my needs. I am particularly impressed with its one-stop solution approach, providing multiple functionalities like editing, reading, merging, and splitting documents seamlessly in one place. The AI Chat feature stands out as I can upload a document and obtain insights and information quickly, which is immensely helpful for analyzing complex documents such as insurance policies and reports. This capability drastically saves time by eliminating the need to read lengthy documents and allows me to gather summaries and key insights swiftly. Additionally, Foxit PDF Editor allows me to handle urgent changes in PDF files effectively without the dependence on the original versions in other formats, significantly reducing hassle and time waste. Overall, its comprehensive features and smooth performance make it an indispensable tool for my professional tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Simple PDF Editing with Handy Highlight and Note Features"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

Foxit pdf editor is one of the simple and quickest pdf editing tool that I have ever used. With the help of this software we are able to add highlights on the important PDFs and wr also add small notes on them to remind that which one is more important and which section should be looked at first when we go through again our old documents documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The main limitation of Foxit pdf editor is its integration capability because we definitely need to upload PDFs on different type of websites and exchange data from Microsoft Excel and Google sheets but there is no add on integration feature available on this tool so that instant data exchange can be done with other platforms.

"Foxit pdf editor is a advance PDF editing software"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I have been using Foxit pdf editor for more than 3 years now and this is a software which helps in viewing different types of PDF and documents related to our business. The software also helps us in doing all the minute changes such as text, images in their user interface. This tool is flexible for different types of devices like Macbook, Android phones and web version for all devices. The software has free as well as paid version available for different types of user and their needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Foxit pdf editor is a great tool and this software also help us in creating some of the best PDF work but at the same time whenever we try to edit large PDFs with multiple pages and variety of data there is a strong possibility that the edits might get vanished when the tool is accessed after sometime. This problem makes it little less reliable for using it in a long term but if you buy it premium plan, it can store all the data on their server and this problem gets resolved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a good product. All the computers at the company where I work use it."
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

Of all the applications I have used to edit PDF files, I found this one to be the fastest and easiest to use. Other applications used to crash or run slowly on my computer. It has practically all the features of any other editor; it is a very comprehensive software for editing company documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

As I said, it has practically all the features of any other editor, and even more, which makes it a very versatile tool for any type of activity you need to do. However, I was already used to the standard interface that all software has when you press the “print” button (Ctrl + P). Foxit has a slightly different one. I'm not saying it's not easy to use. I'm just saying that I don't like the interface and I get lost for a moment when I use this function, but since it's easy to use, I quickly get back on track.

"Great PDF Reader Without the Hefty Price Tag"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I’ve been using Foxit PDF Reader for a while now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. It’s super fast, easy to use, and doesn’t eat up system resources like some of the bigger names out there. I can highlight, add comments, fill out forms—everything I need, without any hassle. What really makes it stand out, though, is the price. It does pretty much everything Adobe does, but way cheaper. Definitely a solid choice if you need a reliable PDF reader without breaking the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The only real frustration I’ve had is with the way some features are locked behind additional licensing. It’s not always immediately clear what’s included and what requires an upgrade, and navigating the purchasing options can feel a bit more complicated than it needs to be—especially the first time around. That said, once you take a few minutes to sort it out, everything falls into place and works really well. It’s a small hiccup in an otherwise smooth and enjoyable experience, and definitely not something that overshadows how solid and dependable the software is overall.

"Easy Word to PDF Conversion, Perfect for Students"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I like using Foxit PDF Editor because it simplifies the process of converting Word files to PDF documents, which is incredibly helpful for my schoolwork. I've been using it for two months, and it has made managing my document conversions very straightforward. I appreciate the straightforward setup process, which required no effort or complex troubleshooting, making it very user-friendly from the start. I am also drawn to Foxit because it's not a big corporation like Adobe, which aligns with my preference for supporting smaller brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The price of Foxit PDF Editor is a bit high. If it were cheaper, I would be more inclined to purchase it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real speed, professional tools, and a fair price"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

Since I started using Foxit, I’ve been impressed with how smooth it feels—even with heavy documents. It’s so fast that compared to Acrobat, it feels like I’m working at double speed without needing to learn anything new. Being able to save a meeting doc or edit an urgent contract without the app freezing was priceless. And with the “Link & Join Text” feature, those messy borders are fixed and the text just flows—no drama. That user-friendly touch really won me over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

The Mac version doesn’t have as many advanced features as the Windows one, which can be a drawback for teams working on mixed environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using this PDF editor for a long time, and it offers many features that make it easy to create, edit, and convert various documents to PDF.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

Most of the features in this PDF editor are top-notch, and I found them very effective. However, while the user interface is good, I think there is still room for improvement in its design. Overall, I liked the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not as strong on Mac as Acrobat or UPDF"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

It is lightweight, quick to open, and does not use a lot of system resources the way Acrobat sometimes does. The layout is simple and the price is easier to manage if you only need basic editing or markup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

On Mac it feels behind Acrobat and UPDF. The OCR is not reliable and working with scanned PDFs can be frustrating. The interface does not feel fully natural in macOS and instead feels like a Windows program that was moved over. Some tools such as forms and collaboration are clunky or limited. It works for simple tasks but it is not my choice for more advanced editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature-Rich Yet Needs Image Conversion Improvement"
What do you like best about Foxit PDF Editor?

I have been using Foxit PDF Editor for over 15 years, and during this time, I have come to appreciate many aspects of it. I truly value the OCR function which is incredibly helpful and accurate. It simplifies my tasks by eliminating the need for manual typing of documents, saving me significant time. The addition of the AI Assistant is also a major asset, as it helps me to efficiently summarize content and translate words that are unfamiliar to me. Another appealing feature is the support for a dark theme, which enhances my reading experience. Foxit PDF Editor continues to be my choice due to its lightweight nature compared to other software, ensuring quick and easy loading. Overall, these features and functionalities have made a notable positive impact on my workflow, and the software's consistent reliability has kept me a satisfied user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foxit PDF Editor?

I find the image converting feature lacking as it doesn't produce an HD image similar to the original PDF page without having to adjust settings, particularly DPI. It's confusing, especially for first-time users, and requires improvement to match competing products like Adobe Reader. Additionally, the absence of an AI Assistant feature in the free version is inconvenient, necessitating time-consuming manual reading. Also, a 3D animation view feature or auto-flip page timer would enhance usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
