    BBB Complaint ID: REMOVED
    Response on behalf of: Foxit Software Company
    Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this concern.
    Foxit Software takes customer feedback seriously, especially when it involves enterprise environments and business continuity. We appreciate the customer bringing this matter to our attention and would like to clarify the situation, as well as outline the steps already taken to address the concern.
    Summary of the Issue
    The complaint centers on update notifications prompting users to install a newer major version of Foxit PDF Editor, which then requires the purchase of a new license. This was perceived as an attempt to force repurchasing licenses for REMOVEDalready owned.
    Foxits Licensing & Update Policy
    The customer is using perpetual licenses for REMOVEDPDF Editor Version 13. Perpetual licenses grant the right to use the purchased major version indefinitely, including applicable minor security patches. However, major version upgrades (e.g., Version 13 to Version 14) require a new license. This is standard across the REMOVEDindustry and is not a double charge for the same product version.
    The Auto-Updater is designed to notify users when a new major release becomes available. While the notification includes an option to upgrade, it does not disable or remove access to the licensed version. Users remain fully entitled to continue using Version 13 without interruption.
    Actions Already Taken
    A senior escalation manager from Foxit Support engaged directly with the customer on May 4, 2026 (Case #REMOVED. In that communication, Foxit:
    Clearly explained the distinction between major version upgrades and minor/security updates
    Confirmed that the customers existing Version 13 licenses remain valid and usable
    Provided official guidance and documentation on disabling Auto-Update notifications via Group Policy (GPO) so that end users are not prompted to upgrade inadvertently
    Offered continued support to ensure updates are managed centrally by IT administrators without disrupting users
    Good-Faith Resolution
    Foxit is not forcing customers to repurchase licenses they already own. The update prompt reflects the availability of a new major version, which is optional and not required for continued use of the licensed product. We provide administrative controls specifically to prevent disruption in large enterprise deployments, and we have shared those controls with the customer.
    We remain committed to working collaboratively with the customer to ensure their environment operates smoothly and in accordance with their licensing terms. Our Support and Customer Success teams remain available for any further assistance or clarification needed.
    We believe this response demonstrates that Foxit acted in good faith, followed transparent licensing practices, and took reasonable and timely steps to address the customers concerns.

    Business Response

    Date: 04/24/2026

    Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. We appreciate the customers feedback and would like to clarify the situation based on our records to ensure full transparency.
    Subscription Details and Billing Terms
    The Foxit PDF Editor+ subscription was originally purchased on May 23, 2025 as an annual subscription billed monthly. Under this subscription type, the customer commits to a full REMOVEDterm, even though payments are collected monthly for convenience. This agreement and commitment are clearly stated at the time of purchase and within the customers REMOVEDaccount (documentation attached to this case).
    Per Foxits refund policy, refunds are only available if a cancellation request is submitted within 14 days of the original purchase date. After that period, charges associated with the committed term are not eligible for refund.
    Auto-Renewal and April 2026 Charge
    Turning off auto-renewal prevents the subscription from renewing for a new term, but it does not cancel the existing annual commitment. The charge of $13.99 in April 2026 was part of the original annual term ending May 23, 2026, not a renewal beyond the contract period. As such, this charge was valid and consistent with the subscription agreement.
    Customer Support Interaction and Resolution
    Our records show the customer contacted REMOVEDSupport on April 23, 2026, speaking with two separate agents. While a refund was not eligible under policy at that time, one of our agents made an exception and cancelled the subscription early to prevent any further charges.
    As a result:
    The subscription was terminated before the final month
    The customer was not charged for the last billing period, which would have run through May 23, 2026
    This early cancellation was a good-faith compromise, provided despite the customer being contractually committed to the full annual term.
    Communication Concerns
    We sincerely apologize if the information provided during the calls did not feel clear or empathetic. We understand how frustrating billing questions can be, and we regret if the customer felt unheard or dissatisfied with the communication experience. While our agents followed policy, we acknowledge that the situation could have been explained more thoughtfully.
    Final Position
    The April 2026 charge was valid under the original annual commitment
    The subscription was cancelled early as a courtesy, preventing further charges
    The customer received more relief than required under the contract terms
    No additional refund is owed based on the agreed subscription and policy
    We remain committed to transparency and customer care and are happy to continue reviewing any remaining questions directly with the customer.
    Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond.

    Although I have bought a foxit perpetual license, on my laptop I get an error message that my free version is no longer valid and there is no way I have found to enter my license number and be able to use the pdf program. REMOVED. I did try to contact foxit but the phone system just results in phone jail. So two days ago I called the sales team and they logged my complaint and wanted to switch me to a phone that would not be a person. The woman instead took the information and put a rush on it for a call back. NO CALL BACK. This has been occurring for at least two months. HELP get them to help me. Thanks.

    Dear BBB Representative,
    Im writing to summarize our outreach and resolution regarding REMOVEDcomplaint about being unable to use her perpetual Foxit license and receiving free version expired messaging.
    Timeline & REMOVEDPacific on February 11, 2026):
    2:07 PM Our Support Manager contacted Ms. REMOVEDby phone in response to her BBB escalation.
    2:092:12 PM REMOVEDpurchase of two perpetual licenses for Version 13, confirmed she has Version 13 installed.
    2:12 PM REMOVEDconsent, conducted a secure, time-bound AnyDesk remote support session to observe and remediate the behavior.
    Findings: The error was not due to licensing or forced upgrade. The root cause was PDFs opening via Chromes built-in viewer, combined with default app settings that were not set to Foxit, which led to confusion when attempting to open in Foxit after Chrome already intercepted the file.
    Resolution Steps Implemented:
    In Chrome settings, enabled Download PDFs / Always open in system viewer so PDFs are handed off to the REMOVEDrather than Chromes viewer.
    In Windows Default Apps, set Foxit PDF Editor as the default app for .pdf.
    Verified that sample PDFs now open directly in Foxit without error.
    Confirmed Foxit PDF Editor Version 13 is installed and running properly as a perpetual license; no upgrade is required.
    REMOVEDPM Tested end-to-end; PDFs now open reliably in Foxit without any license error messages.
    2:17 PM Ms. REMOVEDconfirmed she is up and running and stated she is happy to inform the BBB that she was contacted and that the issue has been resolved.
    Concluded the remote session and advised Ms. REMOVEDshe may remove AnyDesk if she wishes.
    Outcome:
    The issue has been successfully resolved. Ms. REMOVEDperpetual Foxit v13 license is active and functioning as expected.
    No charge or upgrade was required.
    Ms. REMOVEDexpressed satisfaction with the resolution.
    Desired Settlement:
    Resolved. No further action requested by the customer at this time.
    Please let me know if any additional documentation or confirmation is needed.

    I tried out Foxit's paid version of the REMOVEDAugust 2025 to compare to REMOVED's REMOVED. I didn't find it performed at the same standards and after a few months (October, 2025) I decided to cancel the plan. I noticed I was still being charged a monthly fee of $11.87. In November I called and asked why am I being charged and the plan has been cancelled, as well as it was deactivated so I do not even have access to the software so I am being charged for what I can't even use? The response was it's an annual plan so I have to still pay for the year. I said I have never heard of such a thing, I have cancelled and have no access so I am requesting you stop charging me for a plan that was cancelled, you are charging for what I can't even use! The phone called ended in what I thought was a resolve and I was the receive a refund for November and stop being charged or so I was made to believe! They are still continuing to charge me every month regardless of the phone call to "customer service". I went online to remove my card as they have no further approval to use my card and there is no way to remove my card information, its completely barred! They have since set the plan back to active, and I just can't get out!!! This is an obvious and intentional trap!This can't be best practice? This can't even be legal? This is absolute theft! I would like them to stop charging me and refund me for all the months they charged me after the cancellation, please. Thank you.

    Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint.
    After reviewing the customers account, we would like to clarify the subscription terms that were agreed to at the time of purchase. The customer enrolled in an Annual Plan billed monthly, not a month-to-month subscription. This commitment is clearly stated during checkout, directly above the Complete Order Now button.
    At the time of purchase, the customer was shown and acknowledged the following:
    Youre purchasing an Annual Plan billed monthly.
    A 12-month commitment billed monthly.
    Refunds available within 14 days of the initial purchase.
    These terms are also reiterated when a customer initiates cancellation. We have attached a screenshot showing the exact messaging displayed during the checkout process.
    While the customer canceled the subscription in October, this cancellation only stops the automatic renewal at the end of the annual term. It does not end the customers access or billing obligations during the remainder of the 12-month commitment period.
    Regarding access:
    When a customer cancels an Annual Plan, they retain full access to the subscription for the remainder of their yearly term. The customer should still have access through the end of their annual subscription. Monthly billing continues until the commitment period concludes, as disclosed at purchase.
    The customers statement that the subscription was set back to active appears to be a misunderstanding. The subscription remains active until the end of the annual cycle so the customer can continue using the product they purchased. This is expected behavior and does not indicate that the plan was reactivated or altered.
    We understand that subscription models differ across companies, and we always aim to be transparent. That is why the annual commitment and refund terms are displayed multiple times prior to purchase.
    Based on our policy and the terms the customer accepted, the charges after cancellation were valid and aligned with the annual contract. As the cancellation occurred outside of the 14-day refund period, we are unable to issue refunds.
    Additionally, we are contacting the customer directly to resolve the situation and ensure they have clear information about their subscription and access.

    On Oct REMOVED, I needed to edit some PDF files and as I had been using FoxIt PDF Reader for many years, I decided to use the more powerful PDF Editor. There was a banner in my existing app to access a 14-day free trial of PDF Editor, but during the course of my working with PDF files I couldn't locate it again, so I went to REMOVEDand downloaded the program from REMOVEDorder to use the program, I had to enter my credit card information and then choose a subscription, but nowhere was I offered a 14-day free trial. I was disappointed but needed to finish my project, so I decided to opt for the monthly billing plan with the intention of canceling after the first month. There was an Auto-renew button and I made sure that was set to disabled.On Nov 3, 2025, I was billed again and reached out to their customer support department on Case #REMOVED. I was then informed that they only have an annual plan and I had simply chosen the monthly billing option. The message also stated that the subscription could only be canceled within the first 7 days,I responded that I didn't understand why they would offer the option of monthly payments vs a full annual payment if the subscription also wasn't monthly. Since I was now past the normal cancelation window, I asked if they would be able to cancel the subscription for me as I was entitled to a 14-day free trial and all of my work was within that period.They then responded stating that they offer payment flexibility with options to pay upfront, or billed monthly, and that they were unable to cancel/refund the subscription according to the refund policy.While I now understand why I saw the two billing options, I am still dumbfounded that the *only* option for using this product is to subscribe for one year, and there is no way to cancel after the initial 7-day period.I am now appealing to the BBB to help me cancel this unintended and unwanted subscription.Thank you

    Date: 03/20/2025

    Dear REMOVED,
    Thank you for your patience and for bringing this issue to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the prolonged delay and the lack of updates. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we deeply regret not meeting your expectations in resolving this matter sooner.
    As mentioned earlier, our team has successfully replicated the issue and developed a fix. However, due to the complexity of the underlying code dependencies, integrating the solution requires updates across multiple systems. While our upcoming major release (Version REMOVED) is in its final testing phase and cannot accommodate changes at this stage, weve prioritized your case and are pleased to offer you early access to a beta build containing the fix.
    Beta Build Details:
    Download Link: REMOVED
    Expiration Date: 2025/3/26
    This beta build will allow you to test the solution ahead of the official release. The fix will also be fully integrated into Version REMOVED, which is targeted for release in mid-2025.
    Important Notes:
    This is an internal test version. Please do not share or distribute it externally.
    If you encounter any unexpected performance issues during testing, we recommend reverting to the current official release (v2024.4.1 or purchased version 9.7) as a precaution.
    Our team will prioritize resolving any new issues promptly.
    Regarding the case closure, we apologize for the confusion. Our system automatically closes cases after a certain period, but this is purely a technical placeholder. Rest assured, your issue remains a top priority, and weve manually created a new case to ensure continuous tracking and updates.
    We take full responsibility for the lack of proactive communication. While we hesitated to share vague updates, we recognize that this approach fell short of your expectations. Moving forward, we commit to providing you with regular updates on the progress of your case.
    Thank you again for your understanding and for your willingness to participate in the beta testing. If you have any questions or encounter any issues during testing, please dont hesitate to reach out. Were here to support you every step of the way.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 23074585.

    A bug was reported, and has been fixed, though am now being forced to change to a newer product with an annual fee of HKD1,243.13. I understand products move on, but if it works, then why change.  The bug does not affect day to day work, but a product that offered a lifetime licence should be updated, without forcing a customer to start paying a subscription.  Yes, I have the use of a 1-year free subscription, though I am sure the annual fee will be increased after that and I will need to be pay annually, rather than the one-off lifetime fee.

    The lifetime licence was HKD$1,005.34, and is no longer a lifetime licence.  There should be a law against stating that something is lifetime, then take that lifetime licence away.  We are not talking about the lifetime of a an indestructible product.  It is software that will continue to run on future computers, and now that lifetime promise has been withdrawn.

    I shall use the free subscription, though when it runs out shall revert to the product bought and should last a lifetime.

    This resolution is not really satisfactory, but what can one do when the company changes their products and scraps lifetime licences.

    Sincerely,

    REMOVED

    We purchased a year contract for business E-sign software. First that took forever for us to get in contact with a sales REMOVEDto do so. Then was told I have to pay for minimum 5 licenses. I did that and paid for a whole year. We have since had NOTHING but issues with the software,. It glitches constantly, and the main concern is having to send doc 2-4 times for clients to receive. We spoke with customer support after several tries and were told a week ago a senior REMOVEDwould reach about refund. Reached out to support several times, one time my partner and I were on hold for 45 minutes just to be sent to a voicemail, where no one returned the call after leaving a message. We received an email CC'ing this senior REMOVEDand ZERO contact since. I emailed twice, and just now got an out of office REMOVEDly from this REMOVED- REMOVED. WE LOST A CONTRACT FOR OVER $22,000 DUE TO THIS SOFTWARE NOT WORKING. The client felt we were not REMOVEDutable because her contract would not get sent when we said it would. I want a refund for the months this will not be used and want cancelled asap. I paid $1605 in October for the year and have been trying to cancel for the past month. WE NEED A REFUND OF $1339 FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR ASAP

    We avail the service from them and send follow-up to the support that the service is not working. Contact them more than 10 times and we haven't received any update from support. Please see the attached supporting documents and I want a refund for this. Basically, we pay for the service that we don't use.

    I purchased Foxit Editor in March, just over 6 months ago. On Friday morning, Nov 1st I received a pop up window stating my trial was over and i had to but the program. When I tried to contact Foxit by phone on Friday i never got through and had to leave a message. No call back. In addition I emailed customer support who sent me a support ticket # REMOVEDbut when I click on the link it gives me a screen to login. For whatever reason my login information didn't work so I clicked on forgot password. Of course I never received a password reset. I sent several emails back to Support telling them of this issue and I keep getting the same email to click on the link. That all happened Friday. As of THIS morning i emailed them AGAIN about the problem. This time no response. i called the customer support line AGAIN and left yet another message.I would like to say Foxit is by far the BEST and most user friendly pdf program I have ever used. Having said this most everything is scanned in these days and not being able to open pdf files is a real problem, as i have wasted hours of the last two days on this issue.
