Foxit PDF Editor is a macOS PDF editor for viewing, editing, converting, signing, protecting, and organizing PDF documents.
What is Foxit PDF Editor?
Foxit PDF Editor is a native PDF productivity app for macOS that helps people read, edit, create, convert, sign, and secure PDF files in one place. It is used by students, office workers, legal and business teams, and anyone who needs more than basic PDF viewing. Common tasks include correcting text and images in a PDF, combining files, rearranging pages, adding comments, filling forms, and exporting PDFs to formats such as Word or image files. The macOS edition also supports document protection features such as passwords, redaction, and digital signatures for workflows that require controlled sharing. For users who work with scanned documents, OCR and conversion tools can help turn paper-based content into searchable and reusable digital files. Foxit PDF Editor fits everyday document workflows on Mac, from simple annotation to more advanced editing and document management.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Foxit PDF Editor is legitimate document-editing software. It may ask for access to files you open or save, and that access is normal for a PDF editor. Because the app can modify document contents and handle sensitive files, use the same care you would with any editor: open documents from trusted sources, review redactions before sharing, and keep the app updated if you rely on security features such as signatures or document protection.
Recommendation: Keep Foxit PDF Editor if you use it to read, edit, convert, or sign PDF files on your Mac. Remove it only if you no longer need its document tools or have replaced it with another PDF editor, since uninstalling it will take away its editing, conversion, and signing features.
