Foxit PDF SDK for Web

Full PDF viewer and editor in your browser using JavaScript. Open, view and annotate PDF files on both mobile and desktop devices. As a purely JavaScript library, our product requires no plug-ins and provides native-like performance no matter where you use it.

INTRODUCING FOXIT PDF SDK 7.6

Foxit’s first release of 2021 comes with lots of new features and upgrades to our web-based JavaScript web viewer, desktop SDK and mobile SDK.

On the Web SDK side of things, we’ve added a collaboration feature meaning you can now connect multiple clients through a server, webservice or network to the same PDF. Add annotations to a shared file and collaborate in real time with your team for even more efficient document workflows. We’ve also added PDF portfolio support for viewing and downloading PDFs, lots of new form field options as well as major performance enhancements for files with large quantities of annotations.

For our desktop SDK, we’ve added some new APIs to set a DPI limit for image compression, added portfolio support as per the Web SDK above, extended our HTML to PDF conversion to include Linux, along with .TXT to PDF support.

When it comes to mobile, we’ve enhanced the performance of documents containing static XFA forms as well as made improvements to annotation counting, zoom rendering and much more!
