Overall Satisfaction with FoxitPhantom PDF
FoxitPhantom PDF was rolled out organization-wide to replace Adobe Acrobat and achieve significant cost savings. Most in the organization need a simple PDF reader and this tool does the job. Some groups within the organization insisted on keeping Adobe (i.e compliance, legal, marketing) due to higher than average document review and redlining, but the compatibility between the two tools is not perfect.
- PDF Viewing
- PDF Editing
- Viewing Multiple PDFs at Once
- PDF commenting/annotating
- Compatibility with other PDF tools
- Design/User experience
- Positive - Lower cost on standard PDF software
- Negative - Compatibility between other internal groups/outside vendors that use other tools like Adobe for annotations
- Negative - Sentiment about change to Foxit from the previous tool (Adobe Acrobat)
FoxitPhantom PDF is a cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It can get the job done with basic PDF needs, but the user experience is not a slick as the Adobe products with the recent updates. Foxit was ultimately selected to reduce the costs for a basic PDF reader and editing tool and overall, it has got the job done.
