User Reviews for Foxit PDF Editor

Much Potential, But Too Buggy

This app is amazing in most ways, but it has 2 major bugs.1) If TTS is running, then you turn the phone off, it'll skip pages. It'll read 2 pages in sequential order, then it'll skip to the last multiple of 10s 1st page. Ex. If there are 653 pages and you start at page 1, then: it'll read page 1, next it'll read page 2, next it'll read page 651, next it'll read page 652, lastly it'll read page 653. Yes, it skips all pages inbetween. Thus, you have to keep your phone on & waste it's battery to avoid this bug.EDIT:This bug has not been occurring anymore. Perhaps it only happens when the CPU or RAM is taxed? Idk, but this never happened with Goodreader. Btw, I used Goodreader for years.2) Sometimes, for a page that's clearly written in english, it'll change the TTS speech to a different language. I don't know what triggers this.EDIT:3) This TTS sometimes cuts off lines of text at the top and/ or bottom. This TTS also sometimes cuts off words at the sides. This can occur even if there's a lot of blank space before the text. This never happened with Goodreader.4) If a PDF has narrow line spacing, this TTS sometimes reads the same line twice and skips the following line. This never happened with Goodreader.If FoxIt fixed these bugs, then I'd edit this review & change the rating to 5 stars.

Great app but text color should be changable

I really like the app and hope the dev can see this review. I'd like to be able to pick the background color and text color for all pages, just like how activating Night Mode in View switches text to grey and pages to black. I don't know if it was foxit, but a pdf reader I used years ago allowed me to use a color picker to pick and page bg color and text color (independently). My biggest issue now is the text in Night Mode is too dim; I would like to make the text brighter and perhaps make the backgroumd greyer. Please correct me if the feature already exists and I'm mistaken.

Makes Text to Speech on PDFs a Dream

I recently spent days and days trying to figure out how to unlock PDFs so that I could have text to speech work. I’m dyslexic. It seems with Mac updates its made it harder and harder to get text to speech to work in all the other apps I was accustomed to. Nothing I was using was working or working well. Just when I thought I’d found something there would be a major glitch. So far I’m on pg 100 of a very densely intellectual book! That’s a big deal! I’ve found that I’d you highlight a whole line, then click speak, then speak from here it will go through and read and highlight as you go so if you look away it keeps you on track in the book. There are pauses at the page breaks that took a while for me to understand but this is by far the best text to speech pdf reader I've found... and that’s after several years and several app purchases.

Working again but had to fix it myself

Updated review: FoxIt PDF Editor is the best and most affordable PDF viewing and editing software I’ve found for the iPad and I’ve been using it for 3-4 years. The free version is great for viewing, allowing you to have up to five PDFs open in tabs at the same time. For $11/yr you get editing features, too. With the update to version 12.0, the software reverted to the locked version and I was unable to reactivate it. The software contacted the Apple servers, recognized that I have an active subscription but then gave an “unknown error” message and the software stayed locked. This prevents me from editing or using complex PDF forms. I reached out to customer support, including screenshots of the problem on the iPad. After 9 days, I received a message about the Mac version of the software that made it seem like my messages wasn’t even read. After I posted a negative review here, I got a response within 12h. This tells me the company is focusing on sales over support. I fixed the problem myself by deleting the app, restarting my iPad and reinstalling it. This worked, but made me lose all my imported PDFs, which now have to be reimported. Bugs happen, but FoxIt needs to put more resources into customer support.

Not Just an Editor

Foxit is a very well designed experience for reading, with thumbnails, view options, and third party cloud access like Drop Box. In the basic version, the annotations are very useful for filling out PDF forms. The premium version is an impressive document editor for mobile and at a very reasonable price at $11/yr. I really only have praise for this company, who has kept high standards and updates at the forefront for the years I have been a user. The only thing that might change that is if they started charging a subscription for the great reading and annotation features in the basic version.

One of a kind

Clean. Fast. Versatile. Fantastic. That only begins to cover how well polished and incredible this app it. It seamlessly integrates with google drive and the files app with a clear UI that makes it easy to navigate to the file you want to open. It recognizes files well, and gives you a vast array of tools to modify them. It has a reasonably priced pro version that isn’t shoved in your face, trying to get you to buy it. On top of that, it doesn’t limit the functionality of the free version in order to incentivize you to upgrade, it simply adds more features for those who need it, or want to support the app. And if that wasn’t good enough, it has no ads! Thanks for what you guys do, the app is great.

Great mobile PDF app

I use PhantomPDF on desktop, and this is a great extension of that software. It does a lot, but really nails the core functionality of mobile PDF software. My only gripe is the lack of ability to directly with Dropbox and Box. Although you can open your files in those services through Foxit’s cloud functionality, I really prefer to access my documents through my cloud providers’ native apps. Adobe does a great job of integrating with these two services, allowing me to open files from the cloud apps directly into Adobe and then automatically save changes back. Unfortunately, Foxit beats Adobe in every other aspect, so I have no app that does both well.

Great app but I wish they integrated feedback better

If the team is taking feedback: it'd be great if there were a quick way to delete all saved signatures. Also when you run a search, the app does not allow you to make selections from the search results- just sends you back to default page.Once again reaching out to the tech team to prompt them to address signatures. I have over a hundred signatures saved to the app that take painstakingly long to load and to delete. Trying to get the signature pad open for a new signature takes several minutes because of the in-app delays with signatures. This app is overdue for an option 1.) not to have signatures saved at all and 2.) to delete all signatures at once. If this doesn’t get fixed soon you’re going to lose a user. I can’t be standing in front of clients asking them to sign my phone while they wait 5 mins for unnecessary signatures to load.

Could it be any more better?👍👏

I am sort of a pro pdf user. mostly fir books , editing or adding comments, highlighting, and many other functions and unfortunately even I’ve paid for almost a famous pdf app before (which isn’t half of this app even in free mode!)The most interesting thing about this app and its pro developer functionality is paying attention to exact needs of users and making it better and better with every upgradeSeems designers and programmers of foxit pdf exactas have the professional eye to see users “exact “general needs.I juust want to say CONGRATULATION and im so glad fir using your appFor example; the last upgrade , beside better look and more interesting faces , was wonderful and there are more useful tools for editing pages , pdf documents and giving a vast of capabilities to do whatever we want to do And you know what’s the best part?!That all these things are available for free and way more better in premium. Honestly, this is what should be called ( HONORING THE USER)Thx guys for paying respect to your usersAnd although unfortunately because of my country’s stupid government its so hard to buy account , so could be able to pay for premium version but still you made it possible for people like me in troubled countries Thank you from deep of my heart And god bless you all

Give me the BLUE FOXIT back

So I turned on my iPhone, looked for the blue Foxit icon. Saw a purple icon in its place. Clicked on it & now cannot read my Bible reading file. Guess I will have to go back to Adobe reader. Oh I get it that Foxit can mow the yard, clean up oil spills & dispose of nuclear waste, but all I want to do is read my personal Bible reading file I created in PDF format. If anybody can help me do that I would deeply appreciate it. I used to tell people who got a free download from my website, to load Foxit or Adobe Reader on their device first. Now, I am only recommending Adobe. Why? Because the file was to difficult to find, then open. It was sluggish. I always had to turn on the “continuous” scroll when I opened it. Then when I did the two finger enlarging on my iPhone, where I was disappeared, and I would end up in a totally different place. I would pay money to be able to get the Blue Icon version back. It was the best, better than Adobe for ease of operation. Now that has been taken away and Adobe is my favorite PDF reader, and the only PDF reader I will recommend. Please bring back the older version.
