Foxit PDF Editor for Mac: A Persistent CPU Load Issue

For Mac users who rely on Foxit PDF Editor, a recent update has brought about an unexpected issue - a persistent CPU load problem that is not only frustrating but also concerning. The problem, as reported by Axel Buchner, involves the FoxitPDFEditorUpdateService process running in the background and consuming excessive system resources.

In our case, we have observed this issue on multiple Macs, with some users experiencing a CPU load of up to 12%. What's more alarming is that the load tends to increase steadily over time, leaving many wondering when it will finally resolve itself. In our experience, even after just two days, the load has reached staggering levels of 8-10%, with no end in sight.

This persistent CPU load issue is not only a concern for users but also for laptop users who rely on their devices to stay productive on-the-go. The fluctuating CPU usage between 2 and 3% initially reported by some users is already unacceptable, let alone the much higher levels we are now experiencing.

It's disheartening to note that this issue was first reported over two months ago, yet it still remains unfixed. As a result, many Mac users are left feeling frustrated and uncertain about how to address this problem.

In light of these findings, it is essential for Foxit to investigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible. Until then, Mac users who rely on the PDF Editor may want to consider alternative solutions or seek assistance from their IT support teams to find a temporary workaround.
