For the last several years, I am using several different pdf readers. I find Foxit readers is the easiest way to operate than others. It takes less time than other relevant software. I don't have to wait to open a file. What I need to finish my work, I can do that with Foxit reader. Break a PDF file, edit it, and then merge it with my other files is more comfortable with this software because it's quick and easy for me to understand what I need to do. I forget to mention that it's a lite and low ram consuming software than other similar software, which means I can use it on my low-end pc also.

Pros

The interface is too easy for me to operate. The main reason for choosing this software is its take no time (so less, I mean) to open any pdf files than others; I don't have to wait for this. I am using text editor tools with ease. It also has a great feature of exporting pdf; when I need a specific page as pdf from a big pdf file, I can easily do that quickly and edit it with ease.

Cons

While I was using windows 7, after some heavy use, sometimes it crashes. It's a bit annoying for me sometimes I get some ads when I am working.

I have to work on PDF files as a proofreader. Foxit Reader lets me mark up pages and also create a new PDF summarizing all the comments. I haven't even tried all the free features, but it's great for anyone who needs something other than Adobe to view and comment on PDFs.

Pros

Foxit lets you view PDFs without having to sign in (needing to sign in is a feature that I find highly irritating in Adobe Reader DC). It's easy to navigate, responds quickly, lets you add bookmarks, and provides full commenting/annotation tools, including letting you summarize the comments in a new PDF.

Cons

When the comments panel (on the left) is open and I'm editing a comment, some of the later comments disappear off the bottom of the screen and I can't reach them to hit the "OK" (save) button. I also wish I could use some keyboard shortcuts to select or jump within comment text (like Ctrl+arrow).

Not 100% happy. We're working on engineering documents and I find myself still going back to bluebeam. From the user interfaces being drastically different from PC to Mac to offline access issues to simple functionality problems this is a mess from top to bottom in my opinion, however a few small tweaks and alterations and this will be a great program.

Pros

The PC version is much better than the Mac version. Not many pros to add. Customer service is great and friendly.

Cons

You can literally do the same thing twice in a row with two different outcomes. There seems to always be a special secret little way to change something that normally would just be at the top and simple to access. An example of the terrible layout is in the comment tab. If you click the comment tab then the comment format tab is NINE TABS AWAY to the right lol. Bluebeam is way better and I would not recommend this product for a few more years at least. Another issue we've had is access offline. One of our users purchased through the app store and not Foxit directly and it is resulting in an issue with the software key code. Microsoft is impossible to contact directly and foxit just says its a Microsoft issue. So IF you buy; buy from Foxit. Another is I am only able to impost and work on PDFs. So I have to convert files if I wish to use Foxit.

I can't say enough good things about FoxIt reader. Anyone I know, who asks for my assistance/opinion on IT related issues, I tell to uninstall that "other" PDF product and install FoxIt Reader in its place. I haven't had anyone come back and tell me it was a mistake. If anything, most people are amazed how much the performance of their PC gains.

Pros

It's not a resource hog.
It doesn't cause my web browser (or Windows) to hang up or crash.
The free reader is adequate for what I need to do.

Cons

I can't think of a singly con about FoxIt Reader. This product does everything I need, doesn't tie up resources and has been an easy to use, trouble free tool.

Overall is a extremely powerful PDF reader. Its free version is so complete, has a lot of functionalities that other readers lack, as higlighting, screenshot options, creating PDFs from other files, sharing, and the possibility of adding notes. I would reccomend Foxit both to office employees and university students.

Pros

Foxit Reader was first reccomended to me by a friend from the university, long time ago, when we needed easy to use PDF readers that allowed highlighting the files. So, I started using it 5 years ago, If I'm not wrong. Later, I discovered that this software had other great features (apart from highlighting options), but my favourite is the possibility of converting files in any format to PDF fast and easily, just by selecting the file from your device. I had some reports made of images that I had to convert to PDF without losing quality, because some clients asked that. Foxit helped me to do that in less than a minute.

Cons

I don't have many cons to remark, but sometimes its tab system to open the files it's a little bit confusing if you're still not used to the software.
