    Foxit Software
    Great for marking up depositions or pleadings with highlights, comments, and notes during case review.
    Supports Bates stamping, password protection, and other features often required for electronic filing.

    Built-in tools allow for quick and secure redaction of privileged or confidential information before sharing or filing. Less appropriate if you needed to work on real time collaboration or building complex form templates from scratch.

    When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me. Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.

    Pros
    Foxit Software
    • FoxitPhantom carries superior editing tools over Adobe Acrobat and similar products. It allows you to modify text, images, & objects in a more robust fashion
    • Integrates well with Microsoft Office products such as Word, PPT, & Excel
    • Allows you to work in a nearly paperless environment

    Kami
    • Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
    • I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
    • I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
    • I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.

    Cons
    Foxit Software
    • I have a dual monitor setup at work and there are times when I wish that I could view pdf documents on both monitors at the same time. I have not yet figured out how to do that with FoxitPhantom as it appears to limit the user to displaying multiple pdf documents as separate tabs on the same screen. If dual screen is an option in the software, it needs to be more apparent.
    • I can't think of any other desired improvements. This software really does everything that I need it to do.

    Kami
    • When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
    • When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
    • I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.

    Because very few editors are so easy to use and deploy backed by speed and performance. Foxit PDF is known for its speed and performance, allowing users to open and work with PDF files quickly and efficiently
    Foxit's user-friendly interface is easy to navigate and use, making it a popular choice for users who are new to PDF software.

    Usability
    Foxit Software
    Foxit PDF Editor works the way my brain works, so everything is where I expect it intuitively and that makes me hugely efficient. I love how all of the various features are laid out logically in tabs such as Fill & Sign, Organize, Form, etc. with the tools I expect to find where I expect to find them.

    Kami is easy to use and easy to find information that I am looking for. If I need to learn how to use a tool I can look up references easily. The tools are easy to deploy for both staff and students. I find that the icons are intuitive

    Performance
    Foxit Software
    FoxitPhantom PDF integrates very well with the Microsoft Office products, which is where I found I use this the most. It performs about as well as can be expected, without any out of place latency. Whether it be merging, deleting, editing or rearranging pages, its performance holds up even with larger documents.

    Support Rating
    Foxit Software
    I haven't personally had interaction with the customer support from FoxitPhantom, however based on conversations I have had with members in the organization, I was given positive feedback. Their website has a lot of information and tutorials. If you need to contact them, they are quick to respond. User manuals are readily available.

    Foxit Software
    I would say that when you want to get a bigger share of the market and take business from long time consolidated applications like Acrobat, you really need to try harder and give something more to the user to be able to change their mind and switch to Foxit. In our case licensing was an important factor and at the beginning we had a small learning curve with users asking how to open PDF files and what was that orange icon. The truth is that we as users accepted the new software happily because simply said: it does the job. After using Foxit I would not go back to Acrobat, I like better the connectivity, the simplicity and the way it manages the tabs.

    I think that Kami is easier to use and works in a more consistent way. Orbitnote is clunky and doesn't work as consistently. In the accessibility space, we are starting to recommend Kami products over the TextHelp/Everyway family of products. I think the Google integration is smoother as well

    Return on Investment
    Foxit Software
    • We have cut our mailed AR by over 60% by exporting to foxit and emailing.
    • We have cleared an entire room to be used as additional office space by scanning in old documents.
    • The feature that allows you to directly type onto PDFs has increased our quality control by allowing us to highlight or add notes to important info.

    • My desk has about 10% of the paperwork sitting on it than it used to have.
    • I never have any arguments about whether a student turned something in or not.
    • A student doesn't have to physically see me for me to help them with work. I can write and they can see what I write.
    • Sharing documents with colleagues is now a breeze.
