I wanted to change the default options for my printer (one-sided vs two-sided) but I couldn't find where to do that. The major issue I've experienced with Foxit Reader on Linux is related to the Printing options. Some features include Annotations, Convert to PDF, Digital Signature, Encryption, and Watermarking. Overall: Foxit is a very light and fast software. After discussions with the support people, it appears that it is possible in the Windows and Mac version only but not in the Linux version. All the settings that were set properly in CUPS were simply ignored by Foxit. What I really liked was the possibility of opening multiple files in different tabs within the same window.Ĭons: The major issue I've experienced with Foxit Reader on Linux is related to the Printing options. Pros: Foxit is a very light and fast software. We use the installed PDF printer software to save documents as PDFs when the option is available in the software we are using or the browser. We use Foxit as our default reader and with our small business and personal use, we find it indispensable.

Overall: We looked for pdf reader solutions when Adobe Reader started to suffer from bloat and was a system resource hog. It works well for filling in pdf forms and will even remember fields that are commonly used to speed filling time.Ĭons: The system always prompts you to save to the 'Foxit Cloud' and when you click 'Save as' the cursor jumps to the bottom right of the screen. The ability to resize comment text to match the existing format has helped us make corrections or changes to existing documents. Foxit reader also lets you redact documents or 'cut' out pieces of the document to paste in other documents. The ability to add digital signatures is a plus. Pros: I love the ability to write on/in PDF forms whether they are forms or not.
