I started using Foxit Reader because other PDF reader programs I was using formerly were too slow and sluggish, and this was a lightweight alternative. I like that it is simple and does what I need simply and effectively -- it shows PDFs\! > > **Cons**: There are a few user interface design choices which I don't like very much. They use banner advertisements and other bright labels to advertise other Foxit products and upgrades to Foxit Reader. This detracts from what is otherwise a perfect, simple little program. > > I have truly enjoyed Foxit Reader as an alternative PDF reader program which I use to quickly open PDFs on my computer. It does what I need in that it is quick and simple, and it is free, which allows me to install it on my many different computers. I am glad that Foxit has provided this great free program\! ----- ### "Lightweight PDF Reader" — 5.0/5 > **Ummar** | *January 20, 2020* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's lightweight having an interactive user interface design. > > **Cons**: I haven't experienced anything downside of this pdf reader but somehow it crashes on win 7. > > Marking lines and highlighting paragraphs are simple and consistent with every new version. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Save time and excel with foxit" — 5.0/5 > **Lori** | *March 15, 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well like I said in times of covid-19 there is not much in person communication we did it all through email and digital signatures refinancing my house and we close Friday thank you foxit now my house payment is lower and we should be moving along fine > > **Cons**: Nothing there is nothing I did not like about this software > > I'll start from the beginning we are refinancing our house and covid just had a big outbreak with omicron so there wasn't much in person communication. So me and the realtor did it all through email. And the only way we could get a legit signature was an online software. Foxit wasn't my first choice DocuSign was what a disappointment. Foxit was my second choice and not a disappointment at all we got all the paperwork signed and dated and we close on the house Friday. ----- ### "Foxit Reader is the best PDF reader on the market" — 5.0/5 > **SUCCESS** | *June 21, 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foxit reader enables plugin to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel to enable file conversion to PDF in just one click. 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. ----- 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
