Morning!
For those who use Foxit for PDFs, I got an e-mail from Foxit this weekend stating that, as of "now", they are ending the "upfront payments" or single payment option for Foxit.
The subscription price starts at $18.99 per month CAD. At least I think it's CAD. It might be USD.
Just a heads-up for those who switched to Foxit to save money. Not so much anymore!
There is no indication that our stand-alone/single purchase versions will expire, but I imagine there won't be any updates.
Do not switch to Kofax PowerPDF to try and save money. It is the worst of the 3 in terms of tagging capability. Even taking a well-structured Word document, the results are only P, Figure and some table tags. It is not a viable alternative.
Cheers, Karen
