June 29, 2018 5.0 Easy, lightweight, simple PDF reading. Pros I like the lightweight feel of the application as a whole. Competitors softwares feel sluggish when opening. The options in the "ribbon" actually make sense in layman's English. The SHARE button! It's great, in one place I can email the pdf or send it to Evernote or OneNote. I love the way sticky notes look when making notations on a document. Cons It's a shame the product cannot make form fields with the basic version. The ability to export a pdf as word or excel would be greatly beneficial and is a feature a competitor offers.

Pros Foxit reader came to me while desperately looking for a PDF tool that allows me to merge two reports I had to deliver to my client on one file, after trying different readers that were either not having the feature o super expensive I did the job with Foxit in a minute. The interface is clean, tidy and easy to use. Nevertheless Foxit Reader has a ton of features, one of my favourites is their printer that I can use to remove pages from a pdf from the browser. With Foxit Reader you can also annotate pdfs, highlight them (useful when studying) and fill in forms (I have used this while filling visa forms). Overall a great tool to have on your computer. Cons In general I didn't have any issues with Foxit Reader, one thing to not is that the installer will try to install some toolbars and adware on your computer if you click next without checking. The software has also ads and the requests to update are annoying. Review Source Max-Andre' Z.
