Foxit Reader is a PDF reader - and much more. As well as providing a way to view PDF files, the program can also be used to create this type of file, sign PDFs, and add annotations.There are also plugins for Microsoft Office programs (including Word, Excel and PowerPoint) that make for easy conversion of common file types, and open up the possibility of create PDFs from pretty much any file you can open.Ultimately, this is a PDF viewer with a handful of tricks up its sleeve to entice you away from the competition. If you've never created a PDF before, the prospect might be a little daunting, and Foxit Reader's interface can seem overwhelming. While the look is not too far removed from that of Microsoft Office - there is a very familiar ribbon toolbar in place, for instance - it somehow manages to look complex in a way that will be off-putting to some.
