    Foxit does have a better interface then Adobe Acrobat but sense we started out with Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat was the one we went ahead with the fully unlocked pdf reader.

    Chose Adobe Acrobat
    Now Foxit works great, but there are features Adobe Acrobat DC has that Foxit didn't. When I first got it, it was a free trial. I miss doing mobile editing, and that's why I suggest that it be a standard feature. I'm in the midst of expanding the business. As I researched both …

    Chose Foxit PDF SDK
    I can get the same results at a quarter of the cost with Foxit PhantomPDF, and I'm more comfortable without having Adobe products on my PC. Despite their identical feature sets, Foxit is both more user-friendly and simpler for new staff to learn. I've been using Adobe for a …

    Foxit is number 1, not only for the quality of the product but the pricing is 60% less expensive. It is a great product. Thank you, Foxit.
