Use Cases and Deployment Scope
FoxitPhantom PDF has been the most important PDF documents and PDF reports reader at work and at home. I like FoxitPhantom because of its clean user interface, ability to zoom in and zoom out documents, adding notes to documents while I read, Share documents with colleagues through email or social media and also convert PDF files to other file formats.
Pros
  • Zooming in and zooming out of PDF documents and reports
  • Ability to add notes to a PDF while reading
  • Capability to share files with colleagues and friends
  • Stamping of pdf documents
  • Easy to use graphical user interface
Cons
  • Foxit is the best PDFviewer out there, However, an improvement on how to use new features that may be availed later would be very helpful.
Likelihood to Recommend
FoxitPhantom PDF is suitable for viewing of ebooks, reports, scanned documents and downloaded PDFs either in the office or for personal use. Reports generated from web-based applications are also very well viewed in FoxitPhantom compared to other readers I had used.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Foxit PDF editor to edit and create PDFs. It's much easier than Adobe or other PDF software I've used. It's also much easier to comment and edit PDFs, get signatures, etc. It can be collaborative if necessary which is helpful when sharing a project amongst team members. We also can use it for secure documents with protection for important work agreements and contracts.
Pros
  • Comments and editing PDF documents.
  • Clean PDF creation.
  • Easy design and style changes.
Cons
  • There are so many features and it would be helpful to have more basic functions intuitively.
  • Some of the categories of editing seem to overlap.
  • Signature workflow could be streamlined.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is extremely well-suited for viewing documents, and for editing/commenting on PDFs. It's also ideal for form filling and signing. It's less well-suited for more complex design situations. Really great for merging PDFs and viewing multiple documents at once.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We us FoxitPhantom during our lease abstracting process. Clients send us their leases and in turn, we abstract them into our application. Helping our clients requires us to convert the file format to a Word document. In the past, we used Adobe Acrobat which presented a lot of challenges when converting from a PDF format to Word. With FoxitPhantom, our issues simply went away.
Pros
  • The conversion from FoxitPhantom to Word is the best in the marketplace. This is a far superior product than Adobe Acrobat.
  • Cost is 40 to 60% less expensive than Adobe.
  • The client support whether calling or online is superb.
  • Foxit will allow you do conduct a free trial to test the software.
Cons
  • Converting a non US English based lease to Word has required some additional time on our part.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for commercial real estate. Good for converting PDF documents to Word documents. The tools that come with FoxitPhantom are very easy to understand and use. Much simpler than Adobe.

We replaced the standard Adobe Acrobat with Foxit when we were faced with purchasing a new Adobe license a few years ago. Since converting our first user, we've never looked back. Our whole organization now utilizes FoxIt, and the experience is far superior to Acrobat. The ability to have tabbed instances, the word recognition, highlighting, etc... just everything is easier. There are so many options, too - so each user gets to do what they want how they want.
Pros
  • Multiple instances. You can choose to have "tabbed" set up like your web browser, OR you can allow multiple windows. It's great that you can choose this.
  • It's fantastic at making common features quick-clicks. For example, you can select multiple PDFs in your explorer window, and right click to get to the FoxIt menu. From there, you can select "Combine" and instantly put several documents in the same place. VERY handy!
  • Text recognition is very solid. I've had it decipher some pretty ugly looking faxes with remarkable accuracy.
Cons
  • Eh there's nothing big. Minor stuff is that they default to a start page... easily fixable.
  • Really I can't think of another negative. This program is fantastic.
Likelihood to Recommend
Anyone who edits more than one PDF at a time, who does form field editing, or who is regularly viewing multiple PDFs. If you use Acrobat at all, this is a great replacement. Any organizations where users have varying preferences would do well, since each user can change almost every aspect of the program to their liking.

Great Adobe Alternative

We use FoxitPhantom for those users that have a need to create and edit PDF documents. It gives us the ability to modify PDFs quickly and easily.
Pros
  • The UI is very similar to the Microsoft Office "Ribbon", so our users have learned it quite quickly.
  • Very good OCR and edit capabilities.
  • While not exactly small in size, it's far smaller and lighter on system resources than Adobe.
Cons
  • Subpar support experience. If you have an issue that requires their intervention it requires a lot of handholding and cajoling on my end to get a resolution.
  • In multi-user environments (i.e. Citrix), it constantly tries to update itself leading to multiple update files in my users' profiles. Although it has GPO extensions that should prevent this, they are not particularly effective.
  • They've begun cloud based document software in their apps.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a cost-effective, "lighter weight" alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It works great when installed directly on a user's workstation but I'd be hesitant to install it in a terminal server environment.
