Pros

I love how it will easily integrate with other programs like Word or Excel. It also has frequent updates to the software and has great support.
My favorite and most used feature is its seamless integration for the Adobe creative package which also includes photoshop, indesign, and illustrator.
Worth the cost if you run a business that would use it a fair amount, and has excellent customer service.

Pros

I use it every day in my work and it is wonderful. You can put stamps, signatures, change the color of the highlighter among other super cool things.
But what I like the most is that I can highlight on the file, so I don't have to print the document but still be able to note what I want to. And I do love the electronic signature as well.
Foxit is still supports windows 07 which is beneficial to older version users. Highlighting and commenting is easy and I like it very much the way they offer to highlight.

Cons

It's a little difficult to go back and forth between these functions. There are certain problems with text scanning that cause some characters to be misinterpreted.
Horrible customer service, difficultnti work with HP printing software. It is also not in real time.
Adding comments can be a struggle. I end up spending too much time while at it.

Cons

I have had trouble trying to open PDFs with Foxit Reader after I use the Foxit Reader printer to create the PDF. I have not been able to find the problem causing this.
There is a lack of counting the number of pages, at least in the mobile version, difficulties to synchronize with the cloud sporadically.
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.

Best PDF Reader for Windows

Reviewed 6 years ago

I found that Microsoft Edge's built in PDF reader wasn't very good at printing forms to the correct size, so I installed Adobe Acrobat DC and I use that now for PDFs. I have had good results with printing, and forms always come out the correct size now.

Pros

I've found that Acrobat Reader DC is the better PDF viewer on Windows, and better than Microsoft Edge's built in PDF reader.

Cons

I dislike that I have to keep updating the software, which sometimes requests I restart my computer.

Adobe Acrobat Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

Apart from the occasional crash and running slow, Adobe Acrobat is the most reliable PDF reader there is. Even though i often use other PDF software I always prefer Adobe Acrobat as my default PDF reader/editor.

Pros

It is the most frequently used and default pdf software in my pc. I have used and is being using Adobe Acrobat mainly for pdf reading and occasionally to edit and create PDFs.Adobe Acrobat has a user-friendly interface, even a person without much technical knowledge could easily understand and make use of it. Being free and usually pre-installed when buying a (windows) PC, it is easily accessible unlike ither PDF tools. Much like other Adobe Products, it have a very cozy

Cons

Even though Adobe Acrobat is a reliable application, it often crashes when I use it along with other application running in background. It sometimes doesn't work as efficiently when there are multiple instances of it running concurrently, for this reason I often have to try other PDF readers.

Though the cost is much higher than other PDF editors, the quality of the work it provides is far more greater than the cost.

The coolest feature is Adobe's ability to convert almost any format of OCR images. This includes the conversion of scanned documents too.

Cons

A good default PDF application

Reviewed 6 years ago

Good basic PDF reader. Markup and text boxes is a handy feature.

Pros

Adobe DC does a good job opening PDF files. It also has some limited features, such as the ability to put text boxes, call outs, markups, and shapes on a PDF. The zoom to page width, zoom to whole page, and marque zoom are also very helpful. Depending on the PDF, you can also select text to copy onto your clipboard and paste elsewhere.

Cons

Adobe DC is mostly for reading PDFs. If you want to anything advanced, you need to get Adobe Pro.

Still a nice offer but I wanted more for less.

Reviewed 4 years ago

It is no longer the default PDF reader. Long live the browser.

Pros

It is just a defacto type system that is familiar to my office so it feel like a must have. The snapshot feature allows for easy capture of images to insert into Word of other documents. Very easy method to include an "electronic" scanned copy of your signature, which stays in your Adobe DC reader for easy click and sign off.

Cons

I am just offered much more and is now expecting much more of the paid features to be free. The rotate view features confused me, one will like to simple rotate one or two pages but the full document gets rotated. To much ads! the software seem to be an invitation to treat, users click and then are asked to pay for this feature of that feature....

Elementary pdf reader in every job

Reviewed 2 years ago

In our institution it is essential to have this software on all the computers that are purchased for everyone, because pdf files are received by mail every day and they need to be read because students send us documentation and registration paperwork in pdf format

Pros

The pdf reader is essential in our institution because we use many files that come in pdf format and it is necessary to read them, review them and transfer the information from pdf to other platforms, so it is essential to have the pdf reader

Cons

For many years we have used this software because it is very complete with respect to the tools it has and the best thing is that it is free and easy to use and install.

PDF files are Ubiquitous , so it pays to be adept with Adobe Acrobat

Reviewed 2 years ago

Since PDF files are supported everywhere it's essential to dealing with documents. Once when I bought a condo I had to send the Master Deed to my insurance agent but I only had a paper copy of the deed. Luckily our printer/scanner has a scan to PDF doc feature where it sends the produced doc to my e-mail address; a life saver. My day to day experience is typically just using Acrobat for reading documents, occasionally I'll encounter a document which is setup such that I can fill-in prepared form entries with just Acrobat Reader, PRO not required.

Pros

Standards are a good thing and PDF is the de facto standard for regular documents and Adobe Acrobat Reader is free and the pre-eminent PDF reader, it's use is a no brainer.

Cons

Adobe Acrobat Pro is needed for PDF creation or adhoc free editing. Acrobat Pro is too expensive for a casual user. Therefore typically only a few workers for whom document creating/editing is an essential part of their job have a Acrobat Pro license.

After using so many pdf reader I found this and using since 7 years and it changed my experience about pdf reader. its very easy to use and edit pdf files in this and gives me many other feature like to find any words in pages to underline any special object. The only issue i believe is that it suddenly crashes or closed while opening or editing a file which makes me frustrated.

Pros

Its a great Pdf reader software i have been using since 7 years. it makes easy to read and edit my pdf files and also for sharing its better than any other pdf reader without any ads. The best feature of this software is that it enables you to find any words in your document in just a seconds. you can easily jump to the page you wish to read immediately.

Cons

Its a little expensive than other pdf reader and sometimes becomes slow or just closed while opening the document.

TIRED OF THE ESCALATING COST, CONSTANT UPDATES, BOTHERSOME BELLS AND WHISTLES OF ADOBE ACROBAT????

Reviewed 4 years ago

Best replacement for Adobe Acrobat you can find!!!!

Pros

If so, you may be a candidate for Foxit Reader! YES, THERE IS A FREE VERSION!! [OR A PAY VERSION IF YOU JUST LUV ALL THOSE BELLS AND WHISTLES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU EVER USE THEM OR NOT - AND THE PAY VERSION IS INEXPENSIVE COMPARED TO ADOBE ACROBAT!!!] BTW, it does not have to be updated with a steep learning curve every time you turn around as does Adobe Acrobat, either!!!!

Cons

Features missing - are you kidding me???? - Foxit Reader has everything you could want or need that Adobe Acrobat provides, just not inscrutable!!

Foxit PDF Reader

Good Acrobat replacement

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

It does what it is supposed to. It reads PDFs files. It is pretty fast. It is easy to install. I won't be asking you to save your files online every time.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to use to fill out forms made in Adobe Acrobat

Foxit PDF Reader

Good alternative to Acrobat Reader

Reviewed 7 years ago

A reader with additional editing features (when compared with Adobe Acrobat Reader).

Pros

Clean interface. Plays well with Office products, including the previewer for Outlook. The menu setup is familiar and easy for Windows users.

Cons

It takes some effort to set up preferences. It opens slowly. Other than that, it really does PDF's well.

Foxit PDF Reader

Great free PDF viewer

Reviewed 6 years ago

Highly recommend if you do not wish to pay for Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Pros

Great functionality versus Adobe Reader and many ways to create and edit PDFs. For the free price tag, you can't beat it!

Cons

Not the easiest interface to learn and tends to look a bit crowded when managing multiple files at once.

Foxit PDF Reader

Alternative to Adobe

Reviewed 5 years ago

There is not much of an issue, just need to get used to a new layout and usage.

Pros

Good software. Works well like Adobe Acrobat and Reader. Works well and opens documents like Adobe would. Affordable software depending on what is needed

Cons

If you are used to Adobe and needing to switch to a different software, it will take time to get used to the functions. Similar, but still different.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Great. We love it. It is free and it's a breeze to set up.

Pros

It is free and easy to use. It has basic and advance tools. It is fast and lightweight. It is updated by the mozilla/firefox team. It just works.

Cons

Not as advanced as adobe acrobat, but hey the PDF format was an adobe creation so don't expect to get all the functions that the original software has.
