Latest release

Foxit 10.0

Foxit PDF SDK 10.0.0 introduces advanced features and performance optimizations, enhancing document management capabilities. The new 3D and OFD rendering support allows for more dynamic and versatile content within PDFs. The addition of DWG to PDF conversion and bidirectional OFD-PDF conversion caters to specialized document workflows. Editing is improved with paragraph-based features, offering greater control over document formatting. Performance boosts come from optimized rendering and parsing for pages with many Path objects, and the Compliance module and OCR addon now support multithreading and multiprocessing, respectively. The SDK’s expansion to Node.js broadens its accessibility to developers across different platforms.

Foxit Conversion SDK 2.0.0 introduces Office to PDF conversion for Windows, complete with a web demo for hands-on experience. This release also adds AnyCPU support for broader system compatibility. Enhancements include improved PDF to Word conversion with footnotes and headers, and better text recognition in PDF to PowerPoint.
