Read, edit, and print PDF documents from your Mac.

Foxit Reader is a Mac utility that comes as an alternative to using Preview (Mac's default program for viewing and editing PDFs) for opening and editing PDF documents.

With its help, you can read PDFs, annotate them if necessary, and print the documents with just a few clicks.

The application might come in handy if you need to easily fill forms, add signatures to your PDFs, etc. All of the integrated tools can be found on the toolbar of the program and feature easy-to-configure settings.

Once you finish altering your PDF documents you can either save them to a new location on your Mac or print them directly from the app's interface.

Unfortunately, the app gives you access to a small amount of useful features if you compare it to the Windows version of the Foxit Reader program. Also, it doesn't let you export your documents to other formats than PDF. Hence, you cannot extract pages from your PDFs and save them as image files or convert PDFs to Word compatible formats.

In conclusion, I think you can find better solutions for viewing, editing, and printing PDF files on your Mac.
