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 PDF SDK for Web 10.0.0 implements the dynamic library loading method and refactors the bookmark module for improved efficiency. This release brings new features like dynamic XFA form filling and 3D rendering to help you work with PDFs interactively. It also includes various enhancements in annotation, editing, form import and export, and PDF signing to deliver a streamlined workflow.

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.
