We use Foxit PDF Editor extensively across our organization due to its intuitive and user-friendly interface. It’s easy to navigate, even for users who aren’t particularly tech-savvy, which helps reduce training time and streamline our workflows. One of the primary business problems it addresses is the efficient preparation and organization of documents for hearings. The ability to quickly combine multiple PDFs into a single file is critical when assembling hearing exhibits.
The bookmarking feature and the ability to instantly generate a table of contents have been absolute game changers. They significantly improve the navigability of large document sets, making it easier for our team, judges and other parties to locate specific sections quickly.
Pros
Easily combines multiple pleadings, exhibits, and supporting documents into a single, organized PDF—ideal for preparing court filings or hearing binders.
The ability to insert bookmarks and generate an instant table of contents makes navigating large case files straightforward for attorneys, judges, and opposing counsel.
Cons
The OCR will sometimes not fully capture all of the document properly, especially with older legal documents.
Searching through large documents can be a bit glitchy and lag or miss information.
We haven’t been able to real time collaborate with other team members on the documents in Foxit. That would be a nice addition.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for marking up depositions or pleadings with highlights, comments, and notes during case review.
Supports Bates stamping, password protection, and other features often required for electronic filing.
Built-in tools allow for quick and secure redaction of privileged or confidential information before sharing or filing. Less appropriate if you needed to work on real time collaboration or building complex form templates from scratch.
I have Foxit PDF Editor Standard Edition Version: 10.1.12.37872. I like the permanence of it. I use most of the features frequently but I use the features on the Fill & Sign tab, the Insert, Delete, Extract, and particularly the Flatten features of the Organize tab, and many of the features on the Form tab all the time and love how intuitive they all are. In my business, I found that I always needed to modify a PDF one way or another and Foxit PDF Editor was extremely easy for me to use and doesn't cost me anything on a recurring basis.
Pros
Flattens a document so text, pictures, signatures become part of the document
Allows me to fill and sign PDFs easily and quickly
It allows me multiple ways to insert, extract, and delete pages easily
Cons
It would be nice if the text formatting option came up immediately when I click on the Typewriter button

It allows me to easily create fillable forms from a document and then gives me a plethora of tools to edit the form to be exactly as I need/want it. In my opinion, it is by far the easiest tool I have used to do this. The only negative I have is that sometimes the number of features and tools can be a little daunting since there are so many.
Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) is used through our entire firm. We are able to combine a number of documents into one, extract certain pages from a document, and convert word documents into PDF. This is essential as PDF documents are protected and cannot be altered as easy at Microsoft word documents. Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) also allows our firm the ability to send confidential documents that are password protected.
Pros
Combining different documents
Converting Microsoft word documents to PDF
Extracting pages from a PDF file
Cons
Snapshot
Adding text to documents
Multiple windows

As a firm in the legal field, we have tried using other PDF software. However, we have found that Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) works best for our firm as we are able to do exactly what we need to do. We spend a lot of time combining multiple files into one, which I have found is easiest and works best with Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom).
We are using the FoxitPhantom PDF editor software throughout almost every line of business and department. From time to time, we need to either edit or create PDF files, and the FoxitPhandom PDF editor allows us a convenient and affordable way to accomplish precisely that. We use the Foxit PDF reader as part of our standard computer image.
Pros
The ability to convert other formats (such as Word documents) to PDF is a very useful feature.
It allows you to combine multiple PDF files to a single file, or take one and split to multiple files.
OCR functionality helps to save us time rather than having to recreate entire documents.
It offers a context-menu integration so right-clicking gives you the ability to create/edit files easily.
Cons
There is a little bit of a learning curve in editing documents.
You have to make sure that you have the correct option/tool selected when trying to edit an existing form, otherwise, it will not allow you to edit what you are trying to. For example, if you want to edit a text box, you cannot simply click the text box, you have to select the Text box function, then you can click the box you want to edit.
Could use more intuitive menus/tools to make it easier to use the application without having to look at tutorials or help files to figure out how to edit.

FoxitPhantom PDF is a very affordable alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro. Once you get the hang of using the software, it is very capable and offers a lot of features. If you don't have time to learn new software, it will be challenging to use at first and expect to consult the Help menus quite a bit to figure out how to accomplish specific tasks.
