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  • UI has become outdated.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 & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Clean, minimal interface - Ability to work completely offline - Ability to view different layers of PDF documents
  • Only cross-platform PDF Editor. The functionality is good, and I would not hesitate to recommend the product if not for the stupid direction they are going under the new owner.
  • Feature-Rich: PDF Studio offers extensive PDF editing and annotation tools. User-Friendly Interface: The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Robust Annotation Tools: Includes various tools for document review and collaboration.
  • Pencil feature - This works well on my surface pro. I can use the pen to draw and write comments on documents, and the marker to highlight text. Page resize - I have used this to resize from A4 to letter. As well as resizing the page, you can also scale the contents which is very handy! Redacting - I have used the redaction feature to cut sensitive information from documents. I was able to mark the areas to be redacted and then apply them in one hit. Works great!
  • It does everything you need from a Professional PDF Editor (like Adobe Pro DC) but without the stupid monthly subscription that places like Adobe would charge you.

Cons

  • - Small controls sometimes hard to see in bright daylight
  • The Apryse support department has gone downhill - they will not even test the product when a bug report is filed with an example file, insisting that the user jump through hoops including reinstalling the product and showing screenshots of what was done, even when there is only one way to do the thing described in the report. The new owner does not honour the perpetual licence conditions, which included free point release updates, and discounted annual upgrades, insisting that users go onto a more expensive subscription just to get what they already paid for. The user interface has regressed, replacing window decorations with their own and not picking up colours or settings from the selected theme and thereby losing integration with the system user interface, both visually and in the way the windows respond to user interaction.
  • Performance Issues: May struggle with large or complex PDF files. Support and Documentation: Less extensive support and documentation compared to Adobe. Not Open-Source: Requires a paid license and is not open-source.
  • Sometimes the 'Edit text' tool can be tricky, but I was able to find the content in the sidebar and edit it there. Also, I think the icon could perhaps be different.
  • It's not the prettiest UI in the world but I can live with that :)
