## Reviews

### "Foxit reader is the best option for creating pdf files" — 5.0/5

> **María Lucía** | *26 August 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Foxit Reader was first reccomended to me by a friend from the university, long time ago, when we needed easy to use PDF readers that allowed highlighting the files. So, I started using it 5 years ago, If I'm not wrong. Later, I discovered that this software had other great features (apart from highlighting options), but my favourite is the possibility of converting files in any format to PDF  fast and easily, just by selecting the file from your device. I had some reports made of images that I had to convert to PDF without losing quality, because some clients asked that. Foxit helped me to do that in less than a minute.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have many cons to remark, but sometimes its tab system to open the files it's a little bit confusing if you're still not used to the software.
> 
> Overall is a extremely powerful PDF reader. Its free version is so complete, has a lot of functionalities that other readers lack, as higlighting, screenshot options, creating PDFs from other files, sharing, and the possibility of adding notes. I would reccomend Foxit both to office employees and university students.

### "I Love This Reader" — 5.0/5

> **Musonda** | *27 May 2021* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Foxit has the capacity to read PDF files, this is a cool feature that I like to use very often. Merging PDF files is also possible, I can compress and convert PDF files to various formats including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and JPG. I can sign documents, I can share via email and other platforms. Foxit is my go-to reader every time I need a PDF reader.
> 
> **Cons**: When using the read function, it sounds too robotic and not very much like a human which sometimes makes it boring listening to. It also needs to be smarter as sometimes it reads everything which makes it kind of distractive.
> 
> Foxit Reader is really helpful as it helps me concentrate when reading and has always won my heart over other similar programs.

### "Foxit PDF Reader is OK" — 3.0/5

> **Darcey** | *11 January 2023* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It tries to do what ADOBE Acrobat Reader does...so I like that.  I NEED that\! The commenting and editing functions especially. It's an okay product.
> 
> **Cons**: It's just not 100% user-friendly. Maybe it's because Adobe is so intuitive that I'm having trouble adapting to FOXitPDF.
> 
> It's okay. Still trying to fall in love with it\!

### "The most affordable (even free) PDF reader" — 5.0/5

> **Muhammad Rizki** | *12 December 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like the fact that Foxit reader provided most features like the other expensive PDF reader in its free version. There is a pro version of this PDF reader, but I found that the free version is very sufficient for most basic functionality of a PDF reader. Foxit reader is also fast and not memory-consuming.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have the luxury to complain for using the free software. Since my basic needs to use PDF reader are fulfilled, then this software is really good for its price.
> 
> I use Foxit Reader everyday, installed in all my personal computer devices. I use Foxit to open any PDF documents, fill forms and sign secured documents.

### "Foxit Reader is a Great Free alternative for reading PDFs" — 4.0/5

> **Alec** | *22 September 2020* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that Foxit Reader is free and is simple and easy to use. I started using Foxit Reader because other PDF reader programs I was using formerly were too slow and sluggish, and this was a lightweight alternative. I like that it is simple and does what I need simply and effectively -- it shows PDFs\!
> 
> **Cons**: There are a few user interface design choices which I don't like very much. They use banner advertisements and other bright labels to advertise other Foxit products and upgrades to Foxit Reader. This detracts from what is otherwise a perfect, simple little program.
> 
> I have truly enjoyed Foxit Reader as an alternative PDF reader program which I use to quickly open PDFs on my computer. It does what I need in that it is quick and simple, and it is free, which allows me to install it on my many different computers. I am glad that Foxit has provided this great free program\!
