Foxit reader also allows free offline conversion. > > **Cons**: Foxit reader has no Cons all through my usage as it satisfies all my needs. > > Foxit reader is used to convert files to PDF according to my client's needs on Fiverr. It is a great tool for writing freelance service. ----- ### "A great option for the workplace" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 14, 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Foxit Reader with Foxit PhantomPDF and it is a wonderful combo. It is much cheaper than Adobe and has all the same functionality from what I can tell. > > **Cons**: Foxit is not the most commonly used pdf reader so some things do present better on Adobe Pdf Reader and you may need a version of it to get some documents to appear correctly. > > Foxit reader works great and I have had no issues with its functionality. It is not the most popular however so a few programs that are designed speciffically to work with Adobe pdf reader, (such as Quickbooks Online) do not appear correctly. It is a very minor issue and most people woundn't even notice so I would highly recomend Foxit Reader to anyone looking for an alternative to Adobe. ----- ### "Meh" — 3.0/5 > **Brandon** | *August 16, 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Foxit reader for everything" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *April 29, 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm a kind of PRO pdf user and I have experience with almost every famous PDF reader, I can say Foxit is the best PDF reader. comparatively, it is small software with better ram management. It takes less time for the initial run \& we can do all kinds of commenting works such as drawing, signing, and highlighting within the free version. It suites me very well for both my personal and professional works and its mobile version also looks impressive. > > **Cons**: I didn't see any downside of this cool app until now. The measuring function is missing on Foxit and if it introduces in the future, it will be a great update. And mobile version needs some UI improvement for long-term survival. > > If you have a low-end PC and struggling with other high-end PDF readers, just take a look at Foxit reader. It is lightweight and completely free to full fill all your basic PDF requirements. ----- ### "Better then acrobat reader" — 5.0/5 > **Frederic** | *June 5, 2020* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using this product already a decade I think so... I like the ease of use and all the extras it offers > > **Cons**: I think this is the most perfect pdf reader, and do not realy have any complaints > > Simpy better then adobe reader in my opinion ----- 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
