Foxit support is effective via phone If online support fails, call their customer service number. It really is 24/7 and they really do call back. I was unable to update my Foxit subscription over a month - updating from the application did not work, and from the online auto-chat, it referred me to a download page that only listed trial versions. 1) It turns out "Trial" is also for software updates - their web management is SLOW on clarifying what that link provides. 2) The phone support sent me a direct link to update the software, which works. It may go up to 5 stars, when their web manager addresses the known issue.

Buggy license subscription and awful customer service I attempted to transfer my Foxit licence from an old computer to a new one, however the software appears to have a bug and won't allow re-activation. I already deactivated the licence on my old computer so it could be reactivated on the new one—this used to work before, but no longer does. When I created a support ticket, they did not resolve my issue but just closed the ticket saying it was resolved because they "cannot keep the ticket open for so long". Frustrating and extremely unprofessional.

I paid for their foxit editor I paid for their foxit editor, full price, plus a sneakily added "Upgrade Assurance" - which I don't want. How do I try and reverse this? There is no way. I should have just downloaded a hacked version because that offers no support too. My bad.

Terrible company Terrible company. Buy a licence and then software updates and you are required to buy a new licence and it wont let you continue using the old software. Avoid wasting your money on this company that is obvioudly devois of any morale compass.

Saves gigabytes of space on our network storage Pros: The compression works great and doesn't lose too much qulity. The OCR functionality allows us to search scanned documents, which we didn't have before PdfCompressor. We set up two watch directories, one that's used twice a week and one that's use at the end of each month. The one at the end of the month gets older files, before 2010, pulled in that need to be compressed and OCR'd. This uses up our monthly allowance of pages. Cons: Setting up the watch directories took a little bit to get right but that could be our fault for not reading enough documentation.
