Notre avis
Xournal++ is not a direct replacement for Foxit PDF Editor if you need to edit existing PDF text or manage complex forms. It is a specialized annotation tool, not a full PDF editor. It excels for users who primarily need to mark up PDFs with handwritten notes, highlights, and shapes. If your workflow involves creating new PDFs from scratch or altering the underlying text content of documents, you will find Xournal++ lacking. It is best suited for students, researchers, or professionals who use a stylus to annotate existing documents rather than edit them structurally.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Foxit PDF Editor
Xournal++ opens standard PDF files created by Foxit PDF Editor without issue. However, it does not preserve Foxit-specific metadata or complex form structures. When exporting, Xournal++ flattens your annotations onto the PDF page. If you have heavily edited PDFs with form fields or digital signatures from Foxit, those specific elements will not be editable or preserved in Xournal++; you will only see the visual output of the document.

Can I edit the text inside a PDF with Xournal++?
No. Xournal++ allows you to add new text boxes on top of the PDF, but you cannot select, change, or delete the original text embedded in the document.
Does Xournal++ support digital signatures?
No. It does not have built-in support for creating, applying, or verifying digital signatures. You would need to use a separate tool for that.
Can I create a new blank PDF in Xournal++?
Yes. You can create a new document with a blank background or a paper-like texture, add content, and then export it as a PDF.
