Foxit  Reviews 

used to love foxit pdf pro, did everything we need. Bought many licences.
now;
constant vulnerabilities flagging up on all our security software, all high.
Regardless of upgrade to new versions and clearing it up, within weeks more are found.
Plus; they no longer allow direct purchase unless you have an email battle with them, all they want is subscription. It should be a standalone purchase and that should include all free upgrades on any security issue.
For the last time now I uninstalling every licence and going to have to move to adobe.

I attempted to transfer my Foxit licence from an old computer to a new one, however the software appears to have a bug and won't allow re-activation. I already deactivated the licence on my old computer so it could be reactivated on the new one—this used to work before, but no longer does. When I created a support ticket, they did not resolve my issue but just closed the ticket saying it was resolved because they "cannot keep the ticket open for so long". Frustrating and extremely unprofessional.

I like foxit reader a lot for mobile and pc. It does what it means to do. I presume they are a good company too but i will leave one star up for development

If online support fails, call their customer service number. It really is 24/7 and they really do call back.
I was unable to update my Foxit subscription over a month - updating from the application did not work, and from the online auto-chat, it referred me to a download page that only listed trial versions.
1) It turns out "Trial" is also for software updates - their web management is SLOW on clarifying what that link provides.
2) The phone support sent me a direct link to update the software, which works.

It may go up to 5 stars, when their web manager addresses the known issue.

I created a Trustpilot account specifically for this.

Their PDF reader is more difficult to remove than most malware, even though this software is well over a decade old.

I bought Foxit pdf editor and paid an extra $30 for 24/7 human support. Total crap, they never answer their phone and don't call you back. The program itself is very buggy (pdf editor v 13), and is neck in neck with Adobe for the crappiest product ever. I would avoid Foxit at all costs.

Tried to cancel automatic renewals. No EASY way to do it. No phone for customer service. No info on web site.

Not worth even one star despite being used for over a year. The real problem started with a machine upgrade at which point I discovered that the registration code didn't work because the original version was no longer downloadable. After some digging I found a page on the support website that "converted" old codes to new, but my original code was declared invalid, despite being printed on the invoice.
No access to support either, no human support, no available office in the UK. Forget it, I'll find something else.

They offered a free trial for pdf editor cloud. You go through the process to sign up. Credit card is mandatory. Every field works, including email verification code which is placed prominently at the top . The LAST FIELD is the Credit Card field (remember, credit card is mandatory to get the trial and then you can CANCEL and get a refund they say). The CREDIT CARD FIELD does not function, It does not work. I thought I had browser issues and did much TS. I then figured it was a problem on their end. I then foolishly thought I would get a one month subscription and then cancel if I do not not like it and they would refund the charges. Did not like it. I try to cancel. NO CANCEL BUTTON. I tried to remove my credit card, IMPOSSIBLE.

Reply from support was fast, they have forwarded my request for approval and said they "understand" why I want to cancel. I hope to be "approved". The REFUND process was fast but what a bad experience in general.

each time i try to annotate the pdfs with text, it freezes.

I paid for their foxit editor, full price, plus a sneakily added "Upgrade Assurance" - which I don't want. How do I try and reverse this? There is no way. I should have just downloaded a hacked version because that offers no support too. My bad.

I just deactivated foxit pdf from one machine to transfer it to another. Deactivation was simple. Now I can't transfer it. Any online solutions I have found do not work or are so convoluted that they can't be followed. Customer service sucks. I've waited on the phone, but the call cuts off after 2 minutes. They said they do not do human contact. If I did not have a less than 5 months old subscription I would just say forget it, but I have already paid so I want what is owed.

-testede Foxit og fandt programmet brugbart, men da jeg så betalte og fik trukket penge fra min konto, fik jeg aldrig en aktiveringskode tilsendt. Jeg har således fået trukket knap 700 kr for et produkt jeg aldrig modtog. Support telefonen (i tyskland) svarer ikke og deres online support forstår ikke hvad man skriver

In general, Foxit is a really good PDF reader with lots of useful tool. However, after the latest update PDF signing experience got worse. It might be more correct now, but I don't need this functionality. Now other PDF readers struggle to see my signature and Foxit doesn't allow to overwrite the original document once it is signed. This is a deal breaker for me.

Mon pc a crashé et il m'était impossible de supprimer la license Foxit qui y était rattachée. Après avoir ouvert un ticket auprès de leur SAV, j'ai reçu une réponse en moins d'une heure avec ma clé d'activation réinitialisée.
Je suis un petit client et j'ai apprécié le fait que le SAV réponde si promptement et de surplus à résolu mon problème. Merci Foxit

Best PDF Editor I have ever used. And simple too! Highly recommended. Jenny is customer service is fantastic btw.

Terrible company. Buy a licence and then software updates and you are required to buy a new licence and it wont let you continue using the old software. Avoid wasting your money on this company that is obvioudly devois of any morale compass.

Paid full price for licensed product - $160, then less than a year later the version is obsolete and they want me to pay another $160 - no upgrade path, no discount for current users. Just a money grab rip off

I downloaded Foxit pdf editor on 14 day free trial basis to see if I could use it for a specific document I was trying edit but was unable to - no doubt due to my own ineptness and no reflection on the software. However, once downloaded it insinuated itself as the default pdf editor and changed all the pdfs on my computer retrospectively to Foxit. So when the free trial ended and I didn't pursue the purchase I could no longer access any of my pdfs even though they were not created using Foxit. The uninstall component that came with Foxit didn't work. I had a horrible moment of feeling that I was being held to ransom to pay for software I didn't need or want but I found a way to uninstall it in the end and the pdfs (prior to the installation date) reverted to Adobe. It was scary though and I feel its deliberately built to do this.

I used to like Foxit Reader, but over the last few years they've obviously run out of things to improve, so, unable to leave it alone, have increasingly changed things for the worse or made the interface 'cleaner' by removing or deeply burying important/useful controls.
