Product Details

What is Foxit PDF SDK?

Foxit PDF SDK offers high performance pdf libraries to help developers build pdf technology.

According to the vendor, key features include:

  • Render PDFs: High performance PDF libraries to render PDF pages, page objects, annotations, and forms the way they were intended to be viewed: sharp, clear, accurate, and easy to read. Allows applications to view, zoom in, zoom out, and print PDF documents and forms.
  • Reflow: PDF is a fixed-layout flat document format, it cannot automatically word wrap according to the width of a page. Reflow is a function that automatically rearranges page content when the page size changes.
  • Asynchronous support: Asynchronous is a method to access PDF pages without loading the whole document, so applications do not have to wait for the whole PDF file to be downloaded before accessing them. For example, readers can start reading the first page while the rest of the document is still loading.
  • Page organization: Merge and combine specified page ranges from different PDF files into a single PDF.
  • Annotations: Annotations are a very powerful feature within PDF. It enhances the interactivity between collaborating colleagues to share ideas and feedback. The PDF SDK provides APIs for annotation creation, properties access, and modification (appearance setting and drawing). It also provides APIs to export and import all annotations from and to PDF and FDF document.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We abstract commercial real estate leases and have tested several different providers. After lengthy testing and review, we elected to utilize Foxit enterprise-wide. Our staff loves Foxit. Abstracting leases is a complicated and time-consuming process. FOXIT makes it easy.

  • Converting .pdf documents to Word without losing the context of the sentence.
  • Conversion is very clean compared to the market leaders.
Cons
  • We have nothing negative to say about Foxit at this time. It is the perfect solution for us.
Likelihood to Recommend
We find Foxit to be the best product/solution for our line of business. The conversion from a .pdf to a Word document is superior to the other major provider. We have experienced zero conversion errors.

  • Easy of use.
  • Implementation.

Foxit is number 1, not only for the quality of the product but the pricing is 60% less expensive. It is a great product. Thank you, Foxit.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I used Foxit PDF SDK as a PDF reader for the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system. It is one of the rare software to work perfectly with Ubuntu, and has a number of extra features like highlighting and adding of shapes, which is missing from the normal software present in Ubuntu 16.04.
Pros
  • Highlighting
  • Adding shapes
  • Opening multiple PDFs at the same time
Cons
  • It is a little slow.
  • The tools are difficult to use.
  • It could be more lightweight.

Most Important Features
  • Works on Ubuntu
  • Highlighting
  • Opening and comparing multiple PDFs
Return on Investment
  • Positive in terms of ease of use
  • Negative in terms of speed
  • Positive impact in terms of number of features

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Foxit simply because most of our files are sent in PDF format and Foxit had a nice free version we tested and deployed to the whole plant. We use it among 20 users and we also convert files to PDF for an easy read and simplicity for filing.
Pros
  • Easy to open.
  • Simple format.
  • User friendly.
Cons
  • Color scheme is heavy.
  • Hard to read at times.
  • Could be free.
Likelihood to Recommend
It works well in user case scenarios and was easy to set up for all of our users. I like the scheme but some things are hard to read with the bright white and hurts eyes at times. Not a big issue but turns some people off. I would also like it to have other stuff.
Most Important Features
  • Easy to install.
  • Works fast.
  • User friendly.
Return on Investment
  • Pretty cheap so ROI was fine.
  • User friendly so employees learned quick.
  • No real negatives, so well worth it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Foxit PDF SDK is used by our organization to work with Pdf files. I work with programming and production teams to finalize different scripts, program content, and daily schedule sheets. Primarily, we work with Word Docs and then convert it to Pdf when something finalizes. Foxit PDF SDK helps us to add signatures, comments, and notes, and work with multiple files. Besides documents, we also convert images into pdfs by using Foxit. In all reality, it is an effective tool that does an excellent job for us. It would be fair to say that Foxit PDF SDK has enabled us to be more productive. Good job!
Pros
  • It is a very cool development kit to integration different PDF functions.
  • It is user-friendly and convenient to work with.
  • It has great functionality for text. For example: adding quick markup, highlighting the text, underlining, and doing strikethrough, and adding signatures is pretty easy.
  • It offers to do encryption and add passwords for security.
  • Great search capability that helps finding the text without hassle.
Cons
  • There's one thing that bothers me a lot. Sometime people convert the text file to an image PDF which can not be altered or edited. I dunno if it is the fault of Foxit PDF SDK or it is just out of application's scope.
  • We previously used Adobe to do the same things and the transitioning to Foxit PDF SDK was not easy for some people. Nevertheless, it didn't give me a lot of trouble and I honed my skillset very easily. Moreover, the support is very active and they'd help you to solve the problem quickly.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited for PDF documentation. If your business has the need to edit documents on daily basis, Foxit PDF SDK will be very beneficial. It offers quick conversions and a variety of tools to work with the documents. In my opinion, you should go for it if you have a large scale of work but if you're a student or a single person it can be a bit expensive.
Most Important Features
  • High performance PDF library for web applications.
  • PDF modification (annotation, stamping, signatures etc.)
  • Encryption and document security through passwords.
  • Easy integration and option to fully customize it.
  • Responsive and user-friendly design.
  • Equally impressive service as Adobe.
Return on Investment
  • No negative impact but only positive and fruitful I would say. It is a part of our daily work routine and enhances our products. Things are done quickly and delays are very less. Hence, it has added to the overall growth and development of our business.
Alternatives Considered
We have used Adobe for years but then it started to give us some trouble, so we had to opt for an alternative. However, it proved to be a good fit for our company as it is more user-friendly and has a lot of options.
