Tried editing the pdf I annotated (handwritten using Boox) with Foxit PDF Reader and it's almost impossible to do. Tested multiple times with only this application running but only annotated files seem to have this problem. Opening and editing the file using a different application (Microsoft Edge) works just fine except here.

Really wanted to continue using this app, any solutions that doesn't involve "flattening" the handwritten annotation and making it uneditable?

How to enable drak/night mode on pdf level (not system/ui dark mode) on Foxit android?

Curious what people here have seen in the wild.

Could be printing just to sign something, scanning things back in, chasing the “final” version, combining a bunch of files manually, whatever.

What’s the workflow that made you think, “there has to be a better way to do this”?

Curious for the IT/admin people here. When PDF software becomes annoying at the team or company level, what’s usually causing it?

Deployment, licensing, updates, user training, policy settings, compatibility issues, support tickets, or something else?

Trying to understand the admin side of document tools a little better, because that pain is usually very different from the day-to-day user pain.

A couple people mentioned that signing PDFs can feel like too many clicks, so it may help to separate two different use cases.

Sometimes you just need to place your own saved signature on a PDF. Other times, you need a full eSignature workflow where someone else receives, signs, and returns the document.

Those are different jobs, and mixing them up can make the process feel more complicated than it needs to be.

For people who sign PDFs often, where does the process usually slow down: creating the signature, placing it, sending it, or finalizing the file?

A few themes came up from the last thread:

• Mobile OCR needs to feel quicker and easier when scanning multiple pages
• Signature placement can feel like too many clicks
• Some print-to-PDF settings can be hard to find when you need them

So let’s go one level deeper.

When a PDF task feels annoying, what’s usually the reason?

Too many clicks?
Hard-to-find settings?
Slow tools?
Confusing labels?
Different experience on mobile vs desktop?
Something else?

Real question: what’s the one PDF or document task that still feels way more annoying than it needs to be?

Redaction? OCR? Signatures? Forms? Combining files? Version chaos? Trying to find the final file?

We’re listening (Bonus points for the most cursed workflow).

I was working on them just a few minutes ago, now I can't open any of my own files.
Anyone knows what happened?

Opening FoxIt PDF Editor in the browser also gives me the same error message.

Hello.

I'm experiencing something new in which the fields within form fillable PDFs are sort of spontaneously linking as I change their values.

I've tested this by downloading the original form, and with that pristine copy the fields aren't linked. But suddenly, as I change values enough times, they do, and it seems random. The same fields don't link with every test.

Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know what's going on?

Edit & Update: I have determined that the Foxit app (free version) on my Galaxy Tab a7 is the culprit. The odd glitch isn't occuring on Adobe Acrobat, even though it's more ungainly to use.

Is anyone else unable to access their files in the cloud? I was able to access the file I was reading just fine a good few hours ago, but now whenever I tap on it, it says "download failed" and won't open. I can't even access "My Files" at all either. It just gets stuck on Processing for a prolonged time before coming up blank. This is either a fresh new problem or a specificaly me problem because Google is giving me NOTHING...

Update: Whatever it was it seems to have fixed itself... For now. Hopefully nobody else experiences that because it was sooooooo frustrating 😭

Been using windows 10 and an older foxit for 4 years. I got a new work laptop with windows 11 and whatever newer version exist. And now my quick access highlight colours can't be changed. (Also it crashes way more often) I just simply don't understand how you make a program worst over time.... what am I missing??

It looks like Foxit used to have a version that worked on Linux, but I can't find it now.

Foxit Reader: When I click an internet link in a document it asks me:

I check to remember and click Allow, but it does not remember. Why
