Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is fast, accurate and does not try to get you to install Norton or McAfee every time it updates. Easy to personalize.
  • Allows to edit PDF files Requires minimal system resources Multi Platform availability Available on smartphones Free version
  • I love the ability to write on/in PDF forms whether they are forms or not. The ability to add digital signatures is a plus. Foxit reader also lets you redact documents or "cut" out pieces of the document to paste in other documents. The ability to resize comment text to match the existing format has helped us make corrections or changes to existing documents. It works well for filling in pdf forms and will even remember fields that are commonly used to speed filling time.
  • Foxit is a very light and fast software. It's GUI is simple and very effective. It's easy to use. Some features include Annotations, Convert to PDF, Digital Signature, Encryption, and Watermarking. What I really liked was the possibility of opening multiple files in different tabs within the same window.
  • View & edit multiple PDFs. Free version provides most of the features. Available across platforms. Lightweight - uses minimal resources. Cloud storage Integration.

Cons

  • Haven't been able to find any cons so far. Not one complaint.
  • Needs a update in interface and a general smoothness.
  • The system always prompts you to save to the "Foxit Cloud" and when you click "Save as" the cursor jumps to the bottom right of the screen.
  • The major issue I've experienced with Foxit Reader on Linux is related to the Printing options. I wanted to change the default options for my printer (one-sided vs two-sided) but I couldn't find where to do that. All the settings that were set properly in CUPS were simply ignored by Foxit. After discussions with the support people, it appears that it is possible in the Windows and Mac version only but not in the Linux version.
  • UI has become outdated. Problems with opening some large files.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Finding a decent PDF converter is hard as there are so many scammers out there. I have been able to amend, edit and process all the required PDF documents I needed using PDF extra without any issues or restrictions. It is truly an amazing resource and very user friendly. I can highly recommend this to anyone searching for a valuable resource to work with.
  • Easy to use and able to manage my documents good enough from the work that I needed for, with simple edits.
  • I like that I can use PDF Extra at work. It really helps to fill and edit documents with ease. The navigation is user friendly.
  • The ability to edit PDF’s on the fly from my phone. Then accessing the file remotely from online storage. There were some hiccups in the beginning, but I like using PDF Extra.
  • All of it, easy to use, quick to set-up and more functions than the free adobe but also a great alternative to the paid for version also.
  • I like the edit feature of Pdf because sometimes when your just filling in it only takes a certain size font and you can't change it to make everything fit but with the edit feature you can just add something like a text box and that way you can control the font and make sure everything fits on the line of a pre-filled document.
  • User-friendly is a huge PLUS as well as all the features. I have not explored them all yet. But so far I love working with it. My job is a remote position and I love the Stamps and Digital Signatures, as well as creating a Form. I am constantly having to create a form as I am in the Medical Administrative Field and PDF X makes it very easy and less time-consuming, which is a HUGE PLUS when a New Form is needed. And even if you have to Update an old form. Scan it, PDF X will recognize the text and you can RECREATE a brand new form that looks a lot more Professional. My next form will be using the QR feature to take payments. Scan the QR Code on your Statement and pay your bill!! I am almost finished with it. Can't wait until my Patients See this feature!!
  • Easy to use across devices, has almost unlimited functions, is simple and straightforward, and works fast.
  • I was able to use and edit pdfs on my phone and laptop without having to download the file each time I needed to switch between platforms.
  • The software is very easy to understand and use. Great for creating and editing. The document lock or security is highly recommended and useful.
