A big organization. Where documents need to be shared or viewed by multiple parties. Easy upload and understanding with very little training needed. This helps workflows and saves time. We did run into issues where there was no multi language option

The issue with the application not re-opening previously opened files is a major one for me, therefore I docked a point for that . When editing documents, it usually works well, but there are a few idiosyncrasies, such as the ability to add an extra line when changing a block of text or the inability to define page margins on the left and right. These peculiarities do not bother me, although they might be improved.

  • Combine multiple PDFs into one PDF
  • File explorer preview is not good
  • In the C# SDK, which is a wrapper of native C++ code. We need to be extra careful in coding and protecting the calls, because it can be very easy to crash the application in case of errors.

Our whole takeoff department uses the Foxit PDF SDK. To read plan files, produce pdf files, and take notes, we utilize it in conjunction with other tools. We may utilize the Foxit PDF SDK to read, edit, markup, print, and produce PDF files for internal use or to distribute to clients. Some of our users adore the software, but others choose to use alternative programs because they believe Foxit PDF SDK is too restrictive.

Performance

I rated this software very high on performance because it is really very quick on my Windows system. It can create any type of PDF files in seconds. It also gives good upload speed when I try to modify my documents for inserting digital signature space. It also gives very good encryption speed to secure my documents.

I would give it this rating because I personally have never had to contact support regarding Foxit PDF SDK or anything I am trying to do within the program. As I mentioned before, it is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I think the program in itself lends support to the user because it is so user-friendly and has an easy to use interface.

The simple design of BlinkDMS is my preference. Especially when it comes to new employees. Currently using Dropbox and we struggle to find things where more frequently than when I had used BlinkDMS.

Foxit PDF was cheaper from a licensing perspective. It was easy on the budget and will not be getting more expensive for enterprise licenses. FoxIt also came with the same features when compared to Adobe and it was much easier to install in our environment. Being that it was lightweight we are able to install, remove and update the client very easily. Also, the support with Foxit was better suited for our needs than Adobe.
