It's incredibly easy to use, especially for someone who has never worked with a PDF document before! The software's document format conversion features are very innovative as well and it proves handy when working with different projects as a way of converting them from one format to another. I love how multi-platform compatible the software is and this helps because I used various platforms viz. Windows, Mac OS, etc., and found that Foxit was functional across all the platforms. The software sometimes crashes and support response times could definitely be improved upon. The pricing is also higher than the competition, but these are issues we believe are worth investing in to help with the development of the system in the long run.

It is a very cool development kit to integration different PDF functions.
It is user-friendly and convenient to work with.
It has great functionality for text. For example: adding quick markup, highlighting the text, underlining, and doing strikethrough, and adding signatures is pretty easy.
It offers to do encryption and add passwords for security.
Great search capability that helps finding the text without hassle.

12d Synergy could provide additional analytical reporting on user behavior and usage out of the box.
Improved speeds when referencing shared files from other 12d model projects.

Combine multiple PDFs into one PDF
File explorer preview is not good
In the C# SDK, which is a wrapper of native C++ code. We need to be extra careful in coding and protecting the calls, because it can be very easy to crash the application in case of errors.

Foxit PDF SDK 8.0

Based on 2 answers

Our whole takeoff department uses the Foxit PDF SDK. To read plan files, produce pdf files, and take notes, we utilize it in conjunction with other tools. We may utilize the Foxit PDF SDK to read, edit, markup, print, and produce PDF files for internal use or to distribute to clients. Some of our users adore the software, but others choose to use alternative programs because they believe Foxit PDF SDK is too restrictive.

Foxit PDF SDK 8.1

Based on 5 answers

I would give it this rating because I personally have never had to contact support regarding Foxit PDF SDK or anything I am trying to do within the program. As I mentioned before, it is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I think the program in itself lends support to the user because it is so user-friendly and has an easy to use interface.

Hands down prefer 12d Synergy. Bentley ProjectWise is overly complex, expensive and has a very cluttered interface.

Foxit PDF was cheaper from a licensing perspective. It was easy on the budget and will not be getting more expensive for enterprise licenses. FoxIt also came with the same features when compared to Adobe and it was much easier to install in our environment. Being that it was lightweight we are able to install, remove and update the client very easily. Also, the support with Foxit was better suited for our needs than Adobe.
