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.

Foxit PDF SDK is used to review the important PDF sent to the client using emails. It helps to identify the font, signature, and spacing issues in the PDF. The SDK can be easily integrated into the development environment which further helped to review the PDF in the web browser without installing any other software.
  • We can customize the pdf according to the need easily.
  • User can interact with the pdf easily over web without any plugins.
  • It provides a cross-platform pdf viewing solution and easy to integrate.
Cons
  • Loading time is more in case of large pdf which needs to be improved.
  • Pdf with comments added should be shown effectively.
  • Developer help topic pages needs improvement , the sites are little slow.
When you need affordable, easily integrated, and well-maintained SDK for your pdf stuff; I would recommend the Foxit SDK. When your product users have to view, secure, and edit the documents online without installing any other plugins then Foxit SDK will be a good solution. It will be less appropriate to use this SDK when a user only has to view the PDF and doesn't want to do any other operations on this pdf document.

Excellent PDF solutions

We are a chemical production company and have tested several different providers. After lengthy testing and review, we decided to use Foxit PDF SDK in many offices enterprise-wide. Our staff loves Foxit and it is easy to use.
  • Converting all pdf document to Excel, Word.
  • You can edit, merge, convert and modify.
  • Easy and perfect solutions.
Cons
  • Nothing negative about it, at least my experience.
We used Foxit PDF SDK, in the management and accounting departments, mainly to convert invoices and purchasing documents and vendor lists. It allows setting passwords when we shared documents between offices.

A complete PDF solution.

All the departments in my company use this software for PDF related work. I personally use this software as a part of the sales team in my company. It helps me to create pdf forms for filling in customers' information digitally. It also helps me to encrypt the highly confidential documents of my company and my clients as well.
  • Its encryption feature gives my documents high-level security.
  • Its zoom-in and zoom-out feature help users reading the documents.
  • Its digital signature feature helps users to get the signature digitally and save papers.
Cons
  • Its mobile application is not as good as its Windows application.
  • Sometimes it takes lots of time to generate large PDF files compared to Adobe.
  • Its toolbar is slightly difficult to use for me because of its arrangements.
This software is very good at providing security to PDF files. Its encryption ensures high-end security for my confidential documents. I can easily share those documents on email. It is also good at adding signatures to any document. It helps the user the avoid unnecessary printing of that document for signature purposes only.

Here at the company we use Foxit PDF SDK with all the features it offers. Some functionality is used for pdf preview, pdf signatures, pdf forms, pdf annotations and the best thing is you can use any of their platforms. As my very familiar work with pdf documents, I find the Foxit PDF SDK useful.
  • highlights that can be shared
  • pdf signature with personal signatures
  • signature save for future use
  • content review resources
Cons
  • Combine multiple PDFs into one PDF
  • File explorer preview is not good
  • In the C# SDK, which is a wrapper of native C++ code. We need to be extra careful in coding and protecting the calls, because it can be very easy to crash the application in case of errors.
The best thing I like about Foxit PDF SDK is that it is extremely lightweight. The community is another great place to find solutions where people improve their experiences using the tool. You look for solutions to almost every type of problem you encounter using this great tool.

Foxit PDF is Great!

We use Foxit PDF as our main document editor for PDFs in our organization. Foxit PDF allows us to create, edit, and enhance PDFs much like how Adobe Acrobat does. Instead of using Adobe, we went with the lighter weight, more manageable option with Foxit PDFs. This works for all departments not demanding too much training and it gets the job done when mocking up proposals or carrying out e-signature requirements for documents.
  • Editing PDFs.
  • Electronically Signing Documents.
  • Creating handbooks and proposals.
Cons
  • Adding Text Fields to documents.
  • Adding and removing pages.
  • Sharing out to other applications.
Where FoxIt suites best is if you need an alternative to the big-name PDF editors. It's pretty easy to use and it's comparable to Adobe or any other document editor. It is best used when mocking up proposals for work, creating employee handbooks, putting together offer letters, and essentially any other important document. This is not suitable for creating brochures or pamphlets.
