Foxit PDF Editor for Windows download

Product overview

Foxit PhantomPDF Standard is a standalone PDF application that bundles viewing, editing, creation, and security tools into a single package. It’s built to be approachable for casual users while still offering the controls required by power users. The interface resembles Microsoft Office’s ribbon layout, making tools easy to locate, and the program supports many languages so you can work in the language you prefer.

Core editing and creation capabilities

Edit page content and structure: crop, rotate, extract, remove, or duplicate pages and page elements.
Add new material: insert pages from files or scans, paste from the clipboard, or create PDFs directly from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Enrich documents with media: place images and other multimedia files anywhere in a PDF.
Adjust layout and branding: change background art and update headers or footers.
Annotate and review: highlight text, leave comments and notes, and manage bookmarks and document-wide searches.
Work with forms: fill XFA forms and build or edit interactive form fields.

Conversion and interoperability

You can convert PDFs into other common formats and vice versa:

Export options include DOC (Word), plain text, and image files.
Import and convert non-PDF files into PDF to standardize document sharing.

Security features and collaboration tools

Foxit PhantomPDF Standard includes several layers of protection plus tools for teamwork:

Encryption and signatures: apply password protection, use certificate-based encryption, and validate or add digital signatures.
Team collaboration: ConnectedPDF support, shared reviews, and commenting tools for collaborative workflows.
Enterprise and cloud integrations: connect with cloud storage and enterprise systems such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and Google Drive, as well as document-management platforms like iManage Worksite, NetDocuments, SharePoint, and DocuSign.

Licensing, trial, and registration

A 30-day trial is available. To unlock the full set of features after the trial, you must register and purchase a license. Registration requests contact and company information (name, email, company, phone), though you can skip providing those details; skipping limits you to the program’s free/basic features and prevents full evaluation of the product.

Who this fits best

If you need an all-in-one PDF toolkit that combines editing, creation, security, and collaboration, PhantomPDF Standard is a solid choice—particularly for small businesses and professionals who rely on document workflows. If you prefer not to register or buy software, or if you only need very basic PDF tools, a different solution may be more appropriate.
