    The advantages of the program that stick out are its speed and small size. PDFs are great to work with in numerous applications, and Foxit Reader is one that handles the procedure quickly and in a well-viewed way. Editing PDFs might be better handled with Adobe or another program.

    Yes, Foxit is fast but Adobe is not bad either. While Adobe might not be as fast as Foxit, but Adobe has its own features that might attract more people. Foxit might be suitable for home user but if you are a professional, stick to Adobe.
