Overall, It is a decent PDF editor that is supported by a trusted company. Foxit offers an affordable PDF solution with plenty of security and functionality for the average user at a decent price point. Foxit PDF Editor's limitations come to light when it comes to higher-end conversion tasks, but it is capable of handling everyday business viewing, conversion, and editing jobs in a snap, giving it serious competition to the industry-standard Adobe suite.

Pros

I consider Foxit PhantomPDF or Foxit PDF Editor to be one of my favorite applications due to its easy-to-use interface and familiarity with the ribbon menu in Microsoft Office. As a person who has used Microsoft Office for many years, it looks very much like an extension of that platform.

As part of a specific agreement with Adobe, every device provided to our organization is equipped with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Nevertheless, after comparing it with Foxit, I have observed that Foxit offers a greater number of functionality and features. It became my standard tool for everything and proved to be a useful complement to more difficult tasks. The software allows me to split documents, add pages, merge files, scan paper documents into PDFs, and take advantage of its cloud features.

Foxit also integrates with external multimedia files, which I find extremely useful. A major advantage of this PDF management software is the ability to embed large multimedia files, such as video, into your documents. This feature is not available in many other programs. Security and sharing features provided by this software are certainly reassuring and I am grateful for them.

Cons

A major downside to Foxit PDF Editor is that it cannot convert files into ePubs, although for some users this might not be a big deal. However, it would be handy if we could include this popular format as a default. One of the other cons I noted was the OCR functionality. This particular module is required to enable Optical Character Recognition. However, the majority of image-heavy documents are too complex for it, and the performance of such documents is severely impacted.

I use Foxit daily to read, edit, and create PDFs that are very interactive and are used for anything from contractual agreements to key media for communication. Overall, after using this software for 3+ years, I have had a very positive experience.

Pros

Foxit offers a comprehensive PDF editing software that is on par with the other major PDF editing software available. The ability to move and delete pages, merge/append files, and sign and protect files is superior to what Adobe offers from my experience. Plus the OCR scan and form field tool make producing very professional and interactive PDFs a breeze.
Also, the prices that Foxit offers blow some of the other editing software out of the water and Foxit makes it very easy to find the best option for you, whether it's paying outright one time or paying a subscription for the latest and greatest.

Cons

Foxit is packed with a ton of features including many that I am not even sure of what they do, however commenting and annotations is not one of its strongest capabilities. I end up jumping over to Adobe Reader (free version) to make those sorts of edits.
Foxit is also ever-so-slightly bloated and may be a little slow on older computers, particularly as the default PDF reader.

Adobe Acrobat

Reasons for Switching to Foxit PDF Editor

Overall easier to use, does not require downloading multiple applications just to use one, easy to find and choose the buy-outright option instead of pushing the scam of a subscription.

I once loved using this software but after the last update it no longer finds the form fields correctly. If you don't need it to find and convert form fields, then this is no big deal. But for me it was a deal breaker so sadly I had to resort to another editor.

Pros

This program is easy to use and is priced reasonably .

Cons

Needs to fix the form conversion part of the software since the last update.

My overall experience with Foxit PhantomPDF is excellent and I recommend it to other professionals as well.

Pros

The best thing about Foxit Phantom PDF is that it offers a lot of features for editing. Text can be edited in a number of ways. Also drawings and symbols can be made easily in the pages of a pdf. Another good thing is that we can attach a comment or a note in a certain page of pdf. There are options to rearrange, rotate and delete pages in just one or two steps. Also it has a feature which can invert the colors in a pdf. Other than that, it offers high quality pdf conversion.

Cons

The only thing I disliked about this software is that it lags a bit in a medium configuration PC. I find it annoying at times.

Phantom has allowed us to distribute the ability to edit PDFs to more team members due to its great cost structure. This is a valuable tool for our associates. Prior to windows 10 the PDF printer included with Phantom and the basic reader software were excellent tools. Have had only positive experiences with Foxit and when the very occasional issue has been encountered their support team was responsive and helped resolve the issues.

Pros

Foxit PhantomPDF has all the same features as Adobe Acrobat at a fraction of the price. It also handles problematic PDFS better than Adobe. IE it will open PDF files that Adobe will not. Easy to implement and no subscription is required.

Cons

I can't think of any cons off hand and have had no complaints from users regarding this software.
