Foxit Reader is a Mac program designed to help you read, edit, and print PDF documents on your computer.

The application comes with an intuitive interface, gives you access to a wide variety of editing options, and provides you with a comprehensive help manual.

After you import a PDF from your computer you can highlight text content, attach images or clips to the document, add bookmarks, insert notes, and much more. You can print the edited file directly from the app's interface or export it to any folder within your Mac.

The application also gives you access to a built-in search tool. This utility immediately finds the words you're looking for, without slowing down your Mac.

Unfortunately, comparing this app to the Windows version of Foxit Reader, the amount of features is quite limited. For instance, it's available only in English, it doesn't provide you with an option to create PDFs (create from scratch or by converting text files to PDF format), etc. So, basically, Foxit Reader for Mac offers you almost every option you can find in Preview.

With that being said, I don't think it's worth buying this program for your computer. Even though it comes without a price tag, its features are also available in Mac's default image viewing utility.
