MobilePDF SDK 4.0 for Android and iOS has been released

by Conor Smith | August 7, 2017

The new version of Foxit’s Rapid Development Kit is here, and it includes major feature additions to both the Core API and the UI Extension for both iOS and Android. We have added support for addition and verification of Digital Signatures from third-parties, extra programmatic control over layers, attachments and metadata, and a number of new features included in our UI, such as an attachments panel and the ability for end users to duplicate, crop and add images as pages to a PDF file.

As usual, this release also includes a number of minor improvements and bug fixes. Find the detail for those below.

Foxit also provides plugins for both Xamarin and Cordova. You can find them, alongside code samples, on our Github.
