For Opening PDF files very quick in Foxit reader. Unlike other products it takes low time, For large files it takes sometime to load but its very good for me. ----- ### "The easiest way to complete my documentation works." — 5.0/5 > **Khan Md Mohaiuminul Islam** | *October 18, 2020* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Foxit PDF Reader is OK" — 3.0/5 > **Darcey** | *January 11, 2023* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It tries to do what ADOBE Acrobat Reader does...so I like that. I NEED that\! The commenting and editing functions especially. It's an okay product. > > **Cons**: It's just not 100% user-friendly. Maybe it's because Adobe is so intuitive that I'm having trouble adapting to FOXitPDF. > > It's okay. Still trying to fall in love with it\! ----- ### "Foxit Reader - A full featured & less bulky PDF reader" — 5.0/5 > **Chuck** | *December 1, 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Foxit reader is the best option for creating pdf files" — 5.0/5 > **María Lucía** | *August 26, 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2060024/connectedpdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2060024/connectedpdf) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
