About Foxit
Foxit is a PDF software company offering a desktop and cloud PDF editor, an eSign platform, and developer SDKs. The editor covers the full document lifecycle — creating and converting PDFs, editing text and images, filling and building forms, redacting, commenting, combining and protecting files.
Its pitch versus Adobe Acrobat is speed and price: a lighter app that opens fast, plus per-user pricing that's meaningfully cheaper, with the same core capabilities most teams actually use.
