by Laura Silva, Marketing Program Manager

It’s no surprise that people turn to Foxit Reader when they want to view PDF documents, add an image to a PDF document or modify a PDF file. That’s what it’s made for. When if you need to do more with PDF documents, however, consider using a PDF editor like Foxit PhantomPDF. Here are 10 reasons why.

1. Update it yourself

With a PDF editor, you can make major changes to a document, such as adjusting content, layout, and margins. Once your document’s in PDF, you no longer need word processor or page layout software to change the document.

2. Go paperless

Got a hard copy of a document but no digital copy? No problem. A PDF editor can allow you to scan a document, and using optical character recognition (OCR), you can convert the scanned image into text.

3. Export PDF content

Got a PDF but really need the information in another file format? No problem. You can export your PDF into a word processing, presentation software, spreadsheets, or image file.

4. Encourage teamwork

Collaborate on a document with your coworkers – work together on desktop or mobile devices to access and comment on a single document.

5. Build new documents

A PDF editor allows you to drag and drop pages of existing PDFs to change the page order or combine pages from different PDF documents to build a completely new one.

6. Enable interaction

Create interactive PDF forms that allow customers to click buttons and check boxes to easily fill

out and distribute. You can even connect the PDF form to a back-end database to enable even easier data collection.

7. Offer functionality on the fly

Enhance existing documents with watermarks, stamps, headers and footers – all within the PDF editor.

8. Sign documents

A PDF editor program allows users to enter a digital signature, adding efficiency to processes that require signatures, such as sharing contracts with vendors.

9. Track document usage

View business intelligence information such as understand who accessed the file, what actions they performed, what pages they looked at, etc.

10. Secure it

Protect your document everywhere it goes – grant and revoke access and protect it even after its downloaded outside of the company firewall.
