Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I love Foxit PDF a lot mainly because it helps me to create and edit PDF files of very good quality, with the help of this platform I can design a PDF file from scratch, then I will mention the positive things that this platform has: 1.- The mobile phone application works great, it allows you to create a PDF file from scratch, you can change all kinds of fonts, insert images inside the PDF file, search for words or whole phrases, and it also allows you to use the signature digital within each PDF file you have created. This mobile application has very little weight inside the phone, in addition, you can print all the PDF files by connecting your phone to the printer. 2.- I love the word search system and whole sentence search of this platform, because if I am looking for a specific phrase within a PDF file that has many pages, the word search system works wonderfully, and allows me to find specific phrases or words quickly, I really love your search system, it allows you to find a word quickly. 3.- It has a free trial version that, despite the fact that it lasts a few days, we offer you all the important functions of this platform, in addition, this free trial also allows you to use the PDF file document conversion system, I consider it to be proof that Twitter is very useful for new users. 4.- I also love that the PDF file editor has very attractive prices, this platform is one of the cheapest I've seen for creating and editing PDF files, it offers me prices that have saved me a lot of money within our company, as I had previously been using other PDF editing platforms that cost more than 80% of what Foxit PDF does. 5.- The PDF file document conversion system works wonderfully, it is capable of converting any PowerPoint or Microsoft Word document to a PDF file in a matter of seconds, in addition, it also allows you to share several documents simultaneously. Easy to navigate thru the tools/features Awesome customer service and response time The editing software is hands down the best I've used so far. Easy navigation and tools. Best pdf editor product way better than Adobe by far and more tools and options. I love that it does everything I need at a fraction of the cost of Adobe! All of the features that I need are there. It has everything you need pdf-related, including digital signature and pdf editing, which is something I've been looking for and that does not cost a ton of money! Cons The main negative things I have noticed about this PDF editing platform were: 1.- The main negative point of this platform is that there is no way to use the digital signature or electronic signature when you subscribe to a premium version within this platform, the digital signature function works individually and is not integrated into the first day Zapata forms, for which I consider it very negative since it would be excellent if the digital signature system is integrated into the premium plan, since it is very necessary to sign PDF files or contracts in PDF files that are very important. Despite the fact that the digital signature plan and the premium plan of this PDF file platform are very cheap, I consider that it has to be integrated into the Foxit premium plan. 2.- Another of the negative things about this platform is that the web version does not allow collaborative editing of files, therefore, if I am creating a PDF file and I need collaboration to avoid the PDF file simultaneously with the work team, it can't do that if i'm using the cloud version. Currently the only way to work collaboratively and edit PDF files together, using the Mobile Phone version or the download version for computers for Windows or for MacOS. I have no complaints so far. I find this program very easy to use. Haven't found anything other than the eraser tool. Nothing ever erases. Nothing that I can think of...there are multiple tiers, so it's good to know that if I need additional features, I can just purchase the next tier package. that it took this long for a company to create this and charge a fair price! I'm still using the trial version and experienced software crash a couple of times when handling large files. Also had one situation where the file would not save. But those would also happen with Adobe sometimes so..		Pros from Real Users Pros The best kind and fast service. in every inquiry I always receive a professional response. Great Tool! After evaluating several other replacements for our current PDF solution, RAD PDF is the best fit by a large margin. The architecture is a very close fit to our current solution and will require very little conversion. Support for signatures was a key feature we were looking for, and RAD PDF provides solid signature support.
