Foxit Reader 5.3.0.0423

Foxit Reader Editor's Review

With over 100 million users, Foxit Reader is one of the most popular free PDF readers out there. With a fast, secure and lightweight build it’s a great way to access PDFs efficiently, while keeping your information safe and your PC virus free. And with a range of quick and easy features that you’d normally find with full-price software, it’s the perfect choice for those looking to do some editing. From social network integration to spell checking, Foxit Reader has a wide range of tools alongside an easy-to-use annotating and commenting system that’s second-to-none in the free market.

Adobe Reader might dominate the PDF reader market, but its read-only functionality means there’s not much there for those looking to annotate or edit their documents. That’s why Foxit Reader is an essential download for those who want to do more than just read their PDFs. For free software Foxit Reader has a really impressive range of features, while the lightweight build means you’re opening documents in a flash. The layout is fairly intuitive and attractive; you can even pick the layout colour after you run Foxit Reader for the first time. Be warned though, Foxit Reader is by no means full-on editing software; you can’t go in and edit the actual PDF itself.

Pro's: Intuitive interface, great range of features, free phone and email support.

Con's: Lacks full editing functionality, no PDF splitter.

Conclusion: When it comes to commenting and annotating documents, Foxit Reader is the perfect choice; it’s easy-to-use, lightweight and has all the features you’ll ever need.
