Foxit PDF Editor Reviews & Product Details

I use the cloud-based version of Foxit PDF Editor on my computer for business purposes, and it's been very reliable. It makes it easy to edit and fill out PDFs quickly without needing to download software. The interface is straightforward, and everything runs smoothly. It’s a great option for anyone who needs a dependable, web-based PDF editor for work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the functionality and reliability of Foxit PDF Editor's cloud-based version for my business needs. However, I find the pricing to be on the higher side for what I use it for. These costs can add up, especially for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, intuitive user interface, robust and rich features.

The cost/functionality ratio is just perfect for a smaller business. We use the application on a daily basis to review/edit and create PDF documents, the eSign functionality is excellent and have streamlined and automated our contract management processes. Even if you do not have the desktop version installed on your second/alternative computer it's no issue as you just log into the web version and work seamlessly. Implementation of the application is modern and easy, and the application integrates flawlessly with other common use applications like Windows 365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have found that older desktop versions do sometimes have update hiccups but the latest version not anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I needed a tool to merge PDF documents into a single document with a cover page, a TOC, and the merged documents. This tool checked all the boxes and make it relatively easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding a cover page and a TOC that was in the right location in the document is impossible in a single pass - I had to (a) merge all the documents which created the TOC, (b) add page numbers in a separate pass, then (c) merge a cover page with the already merged document that had pages added to it but suppress a new TOC. Way too many steps - I should be able to identify a cover page in the merge list, have the option to add page numbers, and have it work without going through multiple steps and settings.

I have used so many expensive programs in an effort to implement Salesforce integration with a digital signature feature. I installed the demo version of the Salesforce app and signed up for the 30 day trial of the PDF eSign product. I love it. I can manage the contracts inside our Salesforce org and my staff doesn't have to leave their org account to send a contract from start to finish - with data! Set-up and usage was very easy for us and that matters because we will use it every single day with every single transaction. Customer Support has been very helpful in understanding my missteps and leading me in the right direction. The first day I used it, I said, "take my money!" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only have two issues with FoxIt. One is minor and that is the inability to switch accounts or sign-out without having to delete the signed certificate. It isn't the end of the world and once I figured that out, I had zero issues.

There is a major issue with Foxit from a Salesforce POV. I can't get anyone to take my money. Literally, can't get someone to contact me back to sign-up and pay. I have submitted forms for sales from their site, submitted tickets, called and left a message for sales, and even left a review in Salesforce AppMarketplace about it.

From what I understand, it is a new vertical for them that doesn't have support yet and that is the issue. However, a product this good, needs attention. If they will reach out to me, I will not only pay, I will spread the word. Call me folks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I most enjoyed Foxit PDF Editor Suite for its capability to easily add a .jpg signature to a document. I also found that this program was easy to navigate through. I found many features useful, especially the editing of a pdf document, and the drag/drop option for adding pages from a separate pdf. I found the word recognition to be superior to other programs. I feel this program is easy to integrate with the other systems, and that others would have few issues switching to this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that when signing into my account on another device, I find that certain settings are not saved. Specifically the choice of scrolling through pages of a pdf or skipping to the next page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate.

Quick loading.

Simple eSign Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After about 10 months a couple of our users ran out of eSignature envelopes. This resulted in users wasting time having to contact other users at our company to send out eSignature requests for them. There was no solution to pay to increase our eSignature envelopes or to share them across our users. Instead they recommended paying a very large additional fee to add separate eSign service. We only needed a small additional number of eSignatures to finish out the year. The team we worked with was very helpful to our concerns, but the management's decision to limit eSignatures to such a small amount and have no option to pay a small additional fee for more envelopes is likely to be an issue for many companies going forward as more and more users start using eSignature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Foxit PDF Editor is how fast and lightweight it feels compared to other PDF programs. The most helpful feature is the ability to easily edit text within PDFs without messing up the formatting. One big upside is that it combines powerful tools, like redaction and form creation, into one affordable package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the interface feels a bit cluttered, which can make it harder to find certain tools quickly. Occasionally, updates change the layout or move features around, which takes some getting used to. There are a few advanced options that aren’t as intuitive as I would like.

So far... nothing. Seriously. As far as an in-field measure person where everything changes from house to house, having to take multiple pictures for each house several times a day, I would quit my job having to deal with this system. Im hoping my company will try something else before then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In comparison to other pdf readers, this one is way too finicky to use on IPad. Text randomly dissapears, adding anymore than one picture takes too long and randomly crashes the system causing whatever hadn't been backed up to be lost causing the measure to have to be redone. (I dont get paid by the hour) having to input the name of the file to save, file AND send is incredibly anoying, talk to text doesn't work, and having to reduce file size EVERYTIME I send something!? Absolutely rediculous. This system makes me look clumsy and impatient AND incompetent in front of my multiple customers everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has many advanced features such as performing OCR on a folder full of PDFs, Docusign built into the interface, and easy modification of existing PDF documents. Installation was quick, and activation was straightforward. I turned it loose on a folder full of scanned documents on a Friday afternoon, and by Monday morning they had been fully updated with OCR. It integrates into the Mac version of the Microsoft Office apps, which allows you to send your documents as PDF direct from Word or Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest gripe is that the user interface is sclearing not very Mac-like. Like MS Office apps, it uses a "Ribbon" at the top of the window to select functions, but it has no meaningful options on the menu bar. My other complaint (which is more of a Mac thing in general) is that it seems to constantly prompt for access to files and system services. Other Mac software prompts at first and then every once in while after that; Foxit seems to prompt at least once per session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Foxit gives us all the editing and integrating capabilities that we need and want, streamlining our pdf workflows and making the creation of our critical business notes fast and easy. Installation is fast and easy, I've yet to have a seat fail to install correctly or require tech support assistance to repair and implementation. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn, and the software has a small footprint so it doesn't bog the processors while many other programs are running behind it. It's output is completely compatible with Adobe Reader and EMR applications so integrating documents into our EMR is seamless and fast. And the monthly seat subscription pricing is reasonable. Overall, a five-star. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm the IT Director and so far I have had no observations from the field, that "we should have something added or taken away, that there's this and that, that are slowing me down", etc, or any such, so I don't know I'd say there is any real downside or dislike.
