Foxit PDF Reader: free PDF viewing, annotation and signing across platforms

Foxit PDF Reader is a free application for opening, viewing, annotating, form filling and signing PDF files. It is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and as a web reader, so documents can be accessed with a consistent experience on desktop, mobile and browser.

Reading, printing and forms

• Full-featured reading and printing, with support for standard PDF (AcroForms) and XFA (XML Form Architecture) form filling for existing forms and workflows.
• Foxit PDF Reader Add-Ons and browser plugins extend the reader's capabilities.

Annotation and collaboration

• A large set of annotation tools, including highlighting, underlining and sticky notes, supports document feedback. Comments can also be added to 3D PDFs.
• File attachments can be added as comments, and shared reviews allow several users to collaborate on the same document.
• Integration with leading cloud storage services, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce and popular enterprise content management systems.

Signatures and security

• Documents can be signed with a handwritten signature, a saved image or a digital signature, and the status of digital signatures can be verified. DocuSign integration is also supported.
