Adobe's PDF document format poses a challenge for individuals and small businesses because it's so widespread that it's absolutely necessary to use, but the top PDF solution, Adobe Acrobat, is a budget-buster. Foxit Phantom is an affordable alternative that still does the job. In fact, it's actually easier to use than many of the big packages because of its small size and simplicity, which also make it fast--up to three times faster than the competition, according to the developer. It does most of what Acrobat and the other high-priced packages do, and just as well, but with less sticker shock.
Foxit Phantom's interface has the look and feel common to most document and word-processing software: a menu bar, customizable, icon-based toolbars, and a main display. In addition, the program sports a unique, ultrathin navigation panel on the far left; this allows quick access to documents via bookmarks or thumbnails as well as attachments, signatures, and layers. Hovering the cursor over the subtly colored icons calls up descriptive labels that are more than sufficient to explain each control, which makes it easy to dive right in and start creating and editing PDFs. We created a simple document and tried out the stamp tool, the marquee tool, the insert tool, and several other tools, each of which worked flawlessly. We saved the test file, opened it in Adobe Reader, made some changes, saved it again, and opened it once more in Foxit Phantom, all without a hitch.
Foxit Phantom's full selection of essential PDF tools makes it suitable for virtually any business, but it's affordable enough for individuals, too, especially when compared with the high-priced packages. We recommend it unreservedly.
