This is my go-to PDF editor
Overall, It is a decent PDF editor that is supported by a trusted company. Foxit offers an affordable PDF solution with plenty of security and functionality for the average user at a decent price point. Foxit PDF Editor's limitations come to light when it comes to higher-end conversion tasks, but it is capable of handling everyday business viewing, conversion, and editing jobs in a snap, giving it serious competition to the industry-standard Adobe suite.
PROSI consider Foxit PhantomPDF or Foxit PDF Editor to be one of my favorite applications due to its easy-to-use interface and familiarity with the ribbon menu in Microsoft Office. As a person who has used Microsoft Office for many years, it looks very much like an extension of that platform. As part of a specific agreement with Adobe, every device provided to our organization is equipped with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Nevertheless, after comparing it with Foxit, I have observed that Foxit offers a greater number of functionality and features. It became my standard tool for everything and proved to be a useful complement to more difficult tasks. The software allows me to split documents, add pages, merge files, scan paper documents into PDFs, and take advantage of its cloud features. Foxit also integrates with external multimedia files, which I find extremely useful. A major advantage of this PDF management software is the ability to embed large multimedia files, such as video, into your documents. This feature is not available in many other programs. Security and sharing features provided by this software are certainly reassuring and I am grateful for them.
CONSA major downside to Foxit PDF Editor is that it cannot convert files into ePubs, although for some users this might not be a big deal. However, it would be handy if we could include this popular format as a default. One of the other cons I noted was the OCR functionality. This particular module is required to enable Optical Character Recognition. However, the majority of image-heavy documents are too complex for it, and the performance of such documents is severely impacted.

A powerful and fast Adobe Acrobat replacement
Overall I am happy with Foxit. I know I said the interface is not friendly but i am using it for more than four years so I know now which is what. One specific point I want to mention if you ever lose your ppt/ doc/ xls file don't worry Foxit can convert documents almost accurately. All in all if you ever move to Foxit and get used to its interface it is a lightweight beast (compared to Adobe Acrobat DC) which can tackle your daily challenges without making you sweat.
PROSEditing, shuffling pages, adding deleting text and merging PDF, these are my regular task in Foxit. And it deliver all those without making my PC go heywire. I think all PDF maker should understand that they should have a lightweight product variant which simply do these. Cause we are not seasoned editor, rather we are business professionals who want to manage simple tasks in a PDF editor. Thanks to Foxit I never have to face any trouble with my office projects as it deliver what I wanted and when I wanted.
CONSFoxit is very good editor but sometimes I feel like it needs a little graphical overhaul. Some options are repetitive, some are jammed in a single button and sometimes it is difficult o find the right buttons. If they make the interface a little more friendly by dropping rarely used features then it will be a perfect product. One thing they can do is letting us choose which buttons we want to see in our top bar.
Reasons for switching to Foxit PhantomPDF
Because I had a weak PC then and Adobe Acrobat was glitching. At first I tried out Foxit reader after that my love grew stronger

Terrible experience
Very bad. There are no other words needed
PROSThe only thing I enjoyed doing with Foxit PhantomPDF was that it had the feature of editing texts, compared to Foxit Reader
CONSEverything else. The feature that I frequently use is "Edit Text". And good Lord, it successfully added more stress to my work! There are too many flaws in this feature and it took me all day to correct them.

A less expensive alternative with equal or better functionality
I use Foxit daily to read, edit, and create PDFs that are very interactive and are used for anything from contractual agreements to key media for communication. Overall, after using this software for 3+ years, I have had a very positive experience.
PROSFoxit offers a comprehensive PDF editing software that is on par with the other major PDF editing software available. The ability to move and delete pages, merge/append files, and sign and protect files is superior to what Adobe offers from my experience. Plus the OCR scan and form field tool make producing very professional and interactive PDFs a breeze. Also, the prices that Foxit offers blow some of the other editing software out of the water and Foxit makes it very easy to find the best option for you, whether it's paying outright one time or paying a subscription for the latest and greatest.
CONSFoxit is packed with a ton of features including many that I am not even sure of what they do, however commenting and annotations is not one of its strongest capabilities. I end up jumping over to Adobe Reader (free version) to make those sorts of edits. Foxit is also ever-so-slightly bloated and may be a little slow on older computers, particularly as the default PDF reader.
Reason for choosing Foxit PhantomPDF
Overall easier to use, does not require downloading multiple applications just to use one, easy to find and choose the buy-outright option instead of pushing the scam of a subscription.
