Editor vs Pipeline
Foxit PDF Editor is a solid, more affordable alternative to Adobe Acrobat for editing PDFs — text editing, form creation, annotation. Good for individual PDF work.
DocInspector solves a different problem: you have 100 PDFs that need to be repaired, stripped of metadata, redacted, encrypted, and watermarked. DocInspector does all of that in one run. Foxit would require manual work on each file separately.
