Foxit PhantomPDF Standard for Windows

Foxit PhantomPDF Standard provides you with a full suite of PDF viewing, sharing, and editing features, designed to make working with PDFs as convenient as possible. With plenty of options and an intuitive interface, this program offers just about everything you want in a PDF editing program.

Foxit PDF Editor brings several features to the table, making it a handy tool for anyone dealing with PDFs. You can edit text in your PDFs as if you were using a word processor. This includes changing the font, style, size, color, and more. The software also lets you work with text and images in your documents. You can link, join, or split text blocks, which helps in managing the flow of text. Additionally, you can edit images and objects directly within your PDFs. This means you can adjust shadows, merge text, and even work with .ai files.

Another significant feature is the ability to make PDFs smaller. You can reduce the size of your PDFs by compressing images and cleaning up unnecessary data. This is particularly useful for managing large documents.

You can also customize your PDFs to look more professional. Adding stamps, watermarks, headers, footers, and backgrounds are all possible, enhancing the visual appeal of your documents. Moreover, you can embed images and videos to make your PDFs more interactive.

Foxit PhantomPDF has changed its name to Foxit PDF Editor. The new name better reflects its powerful editing features, not just its ability to show PDFs.

Pros

• Lots of help: There are plenty of Video Tutorials that show you how to access various features. You can also make use of an Online Tutorial and User Manual to get a sense of how this program works. And there is Command Line Help available within the app as well.
• Convenient interface: This app features a nice tabbed interface that provides access to the various tools you'll need as you create or edit PDFs. Even without tutorials, you can find most items quickly, and they're easy to access again whenever you need them.
• Creation and conversion: In addition to editing PDFs, you can also create them through this program. That means you can make a completely new one from scratch, from multiple files, from a scanned document, or from the clipboard. And you can convert documents saved in other formats into PDF as well.

Cons

• Trial registration: In order to use all of the features of the paid program during the trial period, you have to register with your full name, email address, company name, and phone number. Otherwise, you'll only be able to access the program's free features, which makes it hard to determine if you'd like to spend the money to purchase the full version.

Foxit PhantomPDF is a capable and convenient PDF creation and editing program that includes just about all of the features you'd hope to find. As long as you don't mind registering, you can try it out for free for 30 days, and the full purchase price is $106.80. It's a good choice for both experienced users and newcomers to this type of program.
