required enhancements

After extending my best regards, I would like to suggest a few enhancements for the app 1. The app should display page labels, not just the physicl pages numbers. 2. The outline list should present its levels more effectively, meaning that rather than expanding each level in a new open window to keep it virtical list expanded for all levels to be shown up all at once. A more sophisticated approach, similar to the functionality found in the PDF Expert app, would be beneficial. 3. For advanced outlines, one of the standout features of Foxit PDF Editor is the ability to search within outlines. I propose implementing a feature that allows users to trigger outlines' search bar to momentarily filled with any keyword. as soon as a line in outlines tapped which has this keyword embeded as a new kind of destination, that should serve as a destination for the outline search bar rather than page numbers. 4. app should keep search results showed up after taping any of it, rather than retyping in outlines's search bar the keyword again. 5. To ensure that The app save pages switched after switching it from right to left the same as it is expected after cropping; currently, cropped pages saved cropped. I believe these improvements would significantly enhance the app's functionality and overall user experience. Thank you for the excellent apps you offer on Apple platforms

Working again but had to fix it myself

Updated review: FoxIt PDF Editor is the best and most affordable PDF viewing and editing software I’ve found for the iPad and I’ve been using it for 3-4 years. The free version is great for viewing, allowing you to have up to five PDFs open in tabs at the same time. For $11/yr you get editing features, too. With the update to version 12.0, the software reverted to the locked version and I was unable to reactivate it. The software contacted the Apple servers, recognized that I have an active subscription but then gave an “unknown error” message and the software stayed locked. This prevents me from editing or using complex PDF forms. I reached out to customer support, including screenshots of the problem on the iPad. After 9 days, I received a message about the Mac version of the software that made it seem like my messages wasn’t even read. After I posted a negative review here, I got a response within 12h. This tells me the company is focusing on sales over support. I fixed the problem myself by deleting the app, restarting my iPad and reinstalling it. This worked, but made me lose all my imported PDFs, which now have to be reimported. Bugs happen, but FoxIt needs to put more resources into customer support.

I am sort of a pro pdf user. mostly fir books , editing or adding comments, highlighting, and many other functions and unfortunately even I’ve paid for almost a famous pdf app before (which isn’t half of this app even in free mode!)The most interesting thing about this app and its pro developer functionality is paying attention to exact needs of users and making it better and better with every upgradeSeems designers and programmers of foxit pdf exactas have the professional eye to see users “exact “general needs.I juust want to say CONGRATULATION and im so glad fir using your appFor example; the last upgrade , beside better look and more interesting faces , was wonderful and there are more useful tools for editing pages , pdf documents and giving a vast of capabilities to do whatever we want to do And you know what’s the best part?!That all these things are available for free and way more better in premium. Honestly, this is what should be called ( HONORING THE USER)Thx guys for paying respect to your usersAnd although unfortunately because of my country’s stupid government its so hard to buy account , so could be able to pay for premium version but still you made it possible for people like me in troubled countries Thank you from deep of my heart And god bless you all

iPad app crashes constantly

This software works wonderfully on my Windows computer & Mac, however the paid iPad version is extremely frustrating. The handwriting function with Apple Pencil or just a finger seems to overload it and it crashes constantly. The other problems with handwriting,—once you’ve written several lines on a page, even if they are far apart, when you try to select one line, it always selects everything you’ve written since you chose that button. Handwriting to text is a problem as well, as every time you format text after conversion, the next time you have to do it again and I have yet to find a setting for default formatting. This also applies to typing—you have to format it every time. The full software versions of this alway revert to the last formatting you used. I’ve tried submitting reports for suggestions or problems within the app and it crashes when I do that as well. Using this as a student to try to write or even type on pdfs is useless. I am beyond frustrated and unless it gets fixed, I won’t be renewing this subscription.
