A marketing communications person I’ve known for some time sent news about a new client—and a product I never expected to see, let alone review. Foxit has built a PDF editor with expanding features. I wrote a couple months ago about its e-signature subscription plan. Below is news about an AI assistant added to its Editor and Editor Pro products.

I am no longer a power user of this technology. When Adobe went to a subscription model that cost much more than any benefit I could derive, I found workarounds. Foxit sent a courtesy copy of the application. I’ve been playing around with it for a month or more at this point. I like the interface and the user interface. I’ve found the annotation and ability to copy and paste to my blog text editor to be flawless. I like it and recommend checking it out.

Guess I should say that I’m not compensated for the review. But I do like it. Don’t know if I’ll return to power user status at this point. Foxit makes it tempting.

Speaking of subscription versus purchase, they have published a blog that analyzes the benefits and drawbacks. Personally, I hate it every month when I see the expense paid to Microsoft for Office 365 for the limited use I have for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. And I just dropped Adobe altogether except for the generic reader app. Subscriptions give you updates (occasionally free), but for my money you need to be really using the product. Check out the blog for a reasoned analysis.

And now the new product.

Foxit Announces PDF Editor and Editor Pro with AI Assistant, Now Natively Supported on PCs powered by Snapdragon

Foxit announced that its Foxit PDF Editor and Editor Pro with AI Assistant are now natively supported on PCs powered by Snapdragon processors. This integration will provide commercial and consumer PC customers with greatly enhanced performance and capabilities – such as those customers working with PDF files on Dell Technologies’ latest devices powered by Snapdragon.

Native Snapdragon support refers to software that is developed and optimized to run directly on Snapdragon processors, without the need for emulation or translation layers. This allows the software to take full advantage of Snapdragon’s capabilities – resulting in improved performance, compatibility, and battery life, as well as decreased complexity and maintenance demands – compared to running the software in an emulated environment.

Foxit’s solutions empower PC users to create, edit, collaborate and secure PDF documents with ease. By combining the advanced capabilities of Foxit’s PDF Editor with the AI-driven natural language processing of ChatGPT, PCs powered by Snapdragon allow users to interact with PDFs more intuitively and efficiently. The integration of ChatGPT provides intelligent automation and enhances the user experience by enabling intelligent interactions for tasks such as redaction, document annotation, and form filling.
