FoxIt Software
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.

In my opinion, the software is good for performing any PDF operations related to annotating, faxing, converting, highlighting, e-signing, including reading (if using mobile version of the application). There is also an ability to edit files, but in my opinion it's not really comfortable to do on a mobile device because of the lack of keyboard.

Pros
FoxIt Software
  • It is a very cool development kit to integration different PDF functions.

  • The ability to fax documents without having to use a fax machine or a scanner is great - saves time and other resources (paper, man hours etc.).
  • It's also nice having the feature to convert files right away in the app - and the number of various formats you're able to convert to PDF is quite high.
  • The overall multifunctionality of this app is also something worth mentioning since it has features for highlighting text, editing PDFs, creating and filling out forms and much more.

Cons
FoxIt Software
  • 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.

  • Sometimes the text box isn't in the right position you have placed after flattening a copy.

Usability
FoxIt Software
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.

Performance
FoxIt Software
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.

Support Rating
FoxIt Software
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.

Alternatives Considered
FoxIt Software
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.)

The app wasn't great, in my opinion. The interface wasn't as good as PDF Reader, while the features were not that advanced.

Kdan Mobile Software Ltd.
  • It's been great so far, having all our employees use the PDF Reader when dealing with PDFs - since it's easy to use and is quite multifunctional, we're able to accomplish quite a bit with a single app installed on all of our devices.
  • It's great for saving time and adding e-signatures, so we aren't actually using any other e-signature apps.
  • It's so easy to use that everyone is on board and using the app for all kinds of PDF tasks daily.
