Likelihood to Recommend Where FoxIt suites best is if you need an alternative to the big-name PDF editors. It's pretty easy to use and it's comparable to Adobe or any other document editor. It is best used when mocking up proposals for work, creating employee handbooks, putting together offer letters, and essentially any other important document. This is not suitable for creating brochures or pamphlets.
Read full review It is well suited for clients who are on the road and they can send their receipts in for purchases from their phones. This has enabled us to get receipts prior to being lost or damaged so it makes the matching process in QBO much easier for us. Clients like to scan multiple pages at one time and vendors invoices/bills. This is less suitable as they need to do individual scans since Hubdoc cannot separate them out.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Extracts data from documents both from a feed and a scan really quick. Availability of automated feeds directly from the supplier. Integration with accounting software e.g. Xero (now owned by them) and QBO. Ability to auto-archive to many different cloud storage locations such as Google Drive and ShareFile. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Although it is great that they can automatically get bank statements and transactions once linked, these links have been very unreliable historically. Figuring out how to set up the automatic feed is cumbersome. You can land up being inundated with useless transaction data. you have to upload each document separately. The program cannot differentiate/split PDFs. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Performance I rated this software very high on performance because it is really very quick on my Windows system. It can create any type of PDF files in seconds. It also gives good upload speed when I try to modify my documents for inserting digital signature space. It also gives very good encryption speed to secure my documents.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review At the time we implemented Hubdoc (more than 2 years ago) it was quite cutting edge and did have strong advances from the competition plus its pricing was definitely more competitive (flat rate vs price per data extraction model). However, currently the competition has caught up and now many of Hubdoc's core features are being built into online accounting software natively.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Adobe Sign can be really frustrating and difficult to log into, renew subscription, and other background functions. Tech support is between useless and non-existent. On the other hand, there is better control over when recipients have been contacted. Overall, Foxit PDF SDK is a much better product, especially for smaller businesses or ones which don't use it consistently every day, year-round (if that's you, you will get used to Adobe, and it will be less annoying.)
Read full review We did not get far into evaluating other solutions we were looking at because Hubdoc came highly recommended from peers, coupled with Xero and Gusto. The cost for Thompson-Reuters is high. We quickly honed in on Hubdoc due to cost and recommendation and are very glad that we did.
Read full review Return on Investment Saves time by being able to edit text in pdf instead of copy/paste into a .doc and then re-formatting the whole thing Able to create fillable forms that are easy to use and to send out to customers Bargain compared to Adobe product Read full review I don't have actual hard figures but I know it will save a lot of time for us. We can save an incredible amount of time letting Hubdoc do the tedious renaming and filing. By syncing with cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox, Hubdoc provides an extremely valuable service of information security by backing up our data. Hubdoc allows us to let an intern or newer employee be more productive because all they have to do is make sure that the scans are good quality and then upload the files to Hubdoc (which has a very easy to use interface). Any files that need special attention can then be addressed by a more senior member of our staff. Read full review ScreenShots Foxit PDF SDK Screenshots
