Features & add-ons
Check out the full list of features that Foxit PDF SDK provide to help you build a customized PDF Viewer.
Viewing & Rendering
Open, render and view PDF documents across all platforms and devices, and preserve your content long-term. Our years of industry expertise means our technology is fast, accurate and robust.
Digital Signature
Use ink signatures to let customers sign documents in their digital devices. Sign PDF in web apps easily without needing to print a file to sign again!
Full-Text Search
Fast full-text search for any PDF document, language, or encoding type. The SQLite-based full-text search delivers near-instant results, even for repositories on any digital device.
Smart Forms
Create, edit and fill PDF (AcroForms and XFA) forms progammatically. Give end users the ability to fill out digital forms that connect flawlessly to your systems through the import and export of FDF (Form Data Format) files.
Annotations
Our PDF SDK provides full support for displaying and annotating PDF in web applications with an extensive range of functions for creating, editing or importing/exporting annotations.
More features
Everything a PDF needs
Security
Take advantage of full encryption and decryption, password encryption, certificates — or, bring-your-own security handler.
Support for Standard PDF security handler (40 and 128 bit RC4), 128 bit AES encryption, and 256-bit AES encryption.
Attachments & associated files
Create and edit document attachments, or associate files together. Associating files lets you associate content in other formats with objects of a PDF file and identify the relationship between the PDF content and the objects.
Asynchronous loading
For large files, allow the first PDF pages to be loaded asynchronously, without having to load the whole document, which would normally take a very long time to load.
Reflow
Rearrange page content when the page size changes. This is useful for applications that have to prepare for the same layout to display on multiple devices. Create, render, release, and access properties of reflow pages.
Barcodes
Generate barcode bitmaps from a given string.
Support for 1D barcode: Code39, Code128, EAN8, UPCA, EAN13, ITF; 2D barcode: PDF417, QR.
Layers
Render all PDF layers of a document, traverse the layer tree, and set the visible state of every PDF layer to show or hide its contents.
