Pros

“It is so helpful to use on Google Drive, which is where I first found it, and then I downloaded the desktop app and used it to fill forms, edit / sign PDF files and documents. and it is the best in understanding the structure of the PDF documents”

Samer A.

AI researcher

“I can easily take notes during lectures, and the auto-sync feature makes a huge difference by simplifying my job as a student.”

Aras M.

Student

“Additionally I can not select specific parts of the text and make them bold or italic, you can only change the whole paragraph or not at all.”

Aras M.

Student

Physiotherapist

“I used it daily for studying, revision, and mock exams, and it became a key part of my preparation.”

Maha I.

“All these while, I've been stuck with mediocre PDF editors, with hassle transferring and downloading multiple times for edits.”

Ron L.

Business Development Exec

“The one con I have with the software is that the free version unfortunately only allows for a few signed PDFs.”

Alexandra M.

Operational Services Manager

Cons

“If I had to choose one thing to dislike, it would be that adding multiple signatures onto one account required a bit of trial and error, and looking on the internet for help, as it was not a crystal clear process.”

Thomas B.

Media team lead

“I'm not sure if this is a Foxit-specific issue or (more likely) all PDF readers, but it's annoying to not be able to delete pages directly from a protected PDF, and have to save it as a new document in order to do that.”

Laura S.

Managing Partner

“Price-wise is way less than other apps but because we use just”
