Advanced form functionality has been incorporated – including additional form field option controls, widgets, advanced forms, and XFA support. The newest version also has support for JavaScript embedded in PDF files to allow users more control. Developers will now have support for external URL hyperlinks, GoTo actions and programmatic annotations. The solution has also incorporated advanced form field logic including form validation, dynamic mathematical calculations, and interactions with browser native features.

Foxit PDF SDK 8.0 is available across all major platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, UWP, and Web and includes some of the most advanced technology in the PDF industry to take your application to the next level. Some of the capabilities of Foxit’s PDF SDK 8.0 include:
