Foxit Release Notes

FREMONT, Calif. - April 22, 2026 - Foxit, a leading provider of PDF and document intelligence solutions, today announced the launch of its PDF Editor app inside ChatGPT, enabling users to complete full document workflows directly within the AI environment, from creation and organizing through to optimization, sharing, and lifecycle management.

AI is becoming the primary workspace but document workflows are lagging behind

The launch comes as tools like ChatGPT rapidly evolve from assistive technologies into central workspaces. Increasingly, professionals are drafting reports, analyzing data, and collaborating on ideas inside AI. Yet despite this shift, document workflows have struggled to keep pace, often requiring users to leave the conversation to format, organize, and prepare files for real-world use.

New data reveals the hidden “verification burden” in AI workflows

Recent research from Foxit highlights the scale of this disconnect. While 89% of executives say AI boosts productivity, the reality is more nuanced. Once validation time is factored in, executives gain just 16 minutes per week, while end users lose 14 minutes. The findings point to a growing “verification burden,” where time saved generating content is offset by time required to review, fact-check, and prepare documents before they can be shared.

From AI output to finished documents, with a single workflow

Foxit’s PDF Editor app for ChatGPT is designed to close this gap by embedding document workflows directly into the AI experience. Within a single conversation, users can convert files between formats, reorganize and compare documents, extract and analyze content, and optimize PDFs for distribution. The app also extends to the final stages of document work, enabling users to generate shareable links, manage files in cloud storage, and remove documents once work is complete — all without leaving ChatGPT or requiring a Foxit account. Users can invoke Foxit using @mentions within a conversation or let ChatGPT suggest it automatically when a document task arises, making it easy to access capabilities as part of the natural flow of work.

“AI has shifted where work happens,” said Evan Reiss, SVP of Marketing, Foxit. “You can generate content in seconds, but turning it into something accurate, formatted, and ready to use still takes time. That’s where most productivity is lost. By bringing our document engine into ChatGPT, we’re enabling users to go from initial prompt to finished, shareable document in one place.”

Enabling the next phase of AI-native document work

This approach reflects a broader shift toward what Foxit describes as AI-native document workflows, where intent expressed in natural language can be carried through to completion. Rather than stopping at content generation, users can now produce fully optimized, ready-to-send documents within the same environment. This reduces friction, minimizes manual intervention, and improves overall workflow efficiency.

Built for scale, powered by OpenAI’s ecosystem

The app is built on OpenAI’s Apps SDK, extending Foxit’s existing integrations across enterprise platforms including Salesforce and Jira. Foxit’s PDF technology is already widely deployed across major ecosystems, including Google Chrome, Gmail, and Amazon Kindle, reinforcing its position as a trusted provider of document infrastructure at scale.

The free Foxit PDF Editor app for ChatGPT is available now to logged-in ChatGPT users across Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans.

New release targets growing risks in everyday documents while advancing AI-powered workflows

FREMONT, Calif., March 31, 2026 — Foxit Software today introduced a new capability designed to uncover hidden security risks inside PDFs, as part of its latest PDF Editor 2026.1 release for Windows and macOS.

The update is led by PDF Action Inspector, a new tool that proactively scans documents for embedded JavaScript and self-modifying behaviors - threats that can bypass redaction, expose sensitive data, or alter document output without detection. As organizations increasingly rely on PDFs to share critical infrastructure, these risks have become a growing but often overlooked attack surface.

“Most organizations don’t realize that everyday documents can contain active code,” said Evan Reiss, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Foxit Software. ”PDF Action Inspector gives teams visibility into behaviors that would otherwise remain hidden, helping them identify risks before they cause real damage.”

The release reflects a broader shift in how documents are created, shared, and secured. As workflows become more digital and AI-driven, documents are no longer static files but dynamic assets that require greater oversight, intelligence, and control.

Alongside its new security capabilities, Foxit PDF Editor 2026.1 expands enterprise protection to help organizations manage documents consistently across environments. Microsoft Azure Information Protection is now available in the Mac App Store version, enabling unified policy enforcement across Windows and macOS devices. Support for FileOpen-protected PDFs has also been added to Mac editions for Editor and Reader, improving access to DRM-protected content across teams. The update also introduces a series of workflow and usability improvements shaped by customer feedback.

Enhancements to licensing and login stability aim to reduce friction during enterprise rollouts, while a new license page provides clearer visibility into subscription and entitlement details. Additional updates to annotation, file splitting, and page extraction workflows are designed to streamline everyday document tasks and reduce user error. Foxit also continues to advance its AI Assistant, with updates focused on security controls, governance, and compliance alignment.

These enhancements are part of Foxit’s broader vision to enable more intelligent, efficient, and secure document workflows. PDF Editor 2026.1 is available now for Windows and macOS.

Enhancing document management with cutting-edge features and robust security

Fremont, Calif., December 19, 2025, Foxit, a global leader in PDF and document productivity solutions, that help knowledge workers increase productivity and do more with documents, announced the release of Foxit PDF Editor v2025.3.
This latest version strengthens Foxit's commitment to delivering secure, compliant and intelligent document workflows.
"This milestone release emphasizes our strategic vision to lead the industry in responsible data protection and secure, frictionless collaboration," said Evan Reiss, SVP of Marketing, Foxit. "By empowering organizations with innovative features designed for today's dynamic digital environment, we enable teams to confidently manage, share and protect critical information–boosting efficiency and trust across every workflow."

Enhanced Compliance With Collaboration

Foxit PDF Editor v2025.3 introduces important updates that enhance secure collaboration and responsible data protection. These improvements offer greater transparency and control during shared document workflows and help organizations uphold governance standards.

• Consent Collection: Users receive a clear region-specific consent prompt before accessing shared documents. The prompt informs participants that others may see their information and requires them to explicitly opt in.
• Invitation Transparency: Collaboration invitations now state that participant names and email addresses may be visible to others and include a direct link to Foxit’s Privacy Policy.
• Audit and Data Handling: Consent activity, including user identity, timestamp, IP address and consent text, is securely logged for audit purposes. If users decline consent, the system automatically anonymizes them in shared environments.

These updates reinforce Foxit’s commitment to delivering secure, compliant document collaboration solutions for enterprise and government customers.

Strengthened Security in Windows

Foxit PDF Editor v2025.3 introduces important security improvements for Windows users who rely on Microsoft Sensitivity Labels to safeguard confidential content. The update incorporates automatic authentication with the Microsoft Azure Information Protection (AIP) plugin by using the user’s current single sign-on session, removing the need for repeated login prompts and ensuring protected documents open smoothly with the correct access rights. Organizations can control this behavior centrally through registry settings or the Foxit Customization Wizard, thereby enhancing consistency and reducing the risk of access issues. These updates make high-security workflows more efficient, save users time when handling labeled documents, and reinforce compliance with internal policies.
Additionally, Windows users now have a new option that automatically removes hidden information when saving or closing a document, helping teams protect sensitive metadata and maintain internal privacy standards. These improvements enhance secure document workflows and improve the overall user experience for organizations that handle sensitivity-labeled and compliance-protected content.

Additional Feature Enhancements Across Windows and Mac

Foxit PDF Editor v2025.3 enhances its AI features with new tools that help users work smarter and faster. The update introduces AI image generation to create visuals directly from text prompts, moves the Summarize Document feature to the main AI Assistant ribbon for easier access, adds translation support for 9 additional languages, and allows users to export AI-generated answers directly to Word or PDF for instant sharing and editing. Also, Foxit PDF Editor now features an enhanced Smart Command mode that lets users perform PDF tasks using natural language. Turn it on in “More Tools” and simply type what you want to do, whether it's adding a watermark, applying Bates numbering, or removing pages from a document. In addition to AI improvements, the update also offers broader productivity and usability enhancements to improve collaboration and streamline daily document tasks. Additionally, it adds support for Dropbox Team Folders across Windows and Mac, making it easier for teams to access and share centrally managed content.
Windows users also experience an improved commenting system that simplifies review tasks. A new favorites toolbox lets teams save and reuse custom markup styles for faster, more consistent annotations. Enhanced compatibility enables users to edit annotation properties for comments created in Bluebeam, supporting review workflows. Finally, the option to export comments to CSV makes it easier to gather feedback and support project or audit workflows.

"It enables us to respond more quickly, ensuring that when a security flaw is discovered internally or by an external researcher, it is immediately recognized as a security anomaly and assigned a unique, standardized CVE ID, with consistent tracking. This faster management of the vulnerability lifecycle improves our ability to release patches and issue advisories swiftly, ultimately protecting our customers effectively."

New Release Sets Industry Benchmark with Modular Architecture, AI-Ready Performance, and Browser-Native Approach — Signaling Major Shift Away from Legacy PDF Solutions

FREMONT, Calif. (August 12, 2025) – Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase productivity and do more with documents, today announced the general availability (GA) launch of Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11, an enhanced version of its developer toolkit, delivering significant performance, security, and user experience improvements for web-based PDF applications.

Until now, developers building browser-based PDF applications have traditionally faced challenges related to performance bottlenecks, limited form handling, cumbersome signing workflows, and inconsistent cross-browser experiences. Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11 is the first to fully overcome these limitations. With its WebAssembly-powered rendering engine, modular architecture, and deeply refactored core components, it eliminates longstanding friction points, empowering developers to build more responsive, secure, and modern document experiences.

“This release is more than just a feature update. It’s a signal that the future of document technology is modular, browser-native, and built for intelligent automation,” said Evan Reiss, VP, Head of Marketing, Foxit. “As organizations move away from legacy systems and toward AI-enabled, cloud-first architectures, developers need toolkits that are fast, flexible, and built for the way we work today. With PDF SDK for Web v11, Foxit is leading that shift — and raising the bar for what’s expected from online PDF experiences.”

Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11 Features/Benefits:

• Refactored Form Module and New Unified APIs - Developers will experience increased efficiency and flexibility, leading to faster development cycles and more robust, scalable applications. This translates to a more reliable and streamlined experience for all users interacting with forms.
• Redesigned Signature Workflow and Modular Architecture - Users can expect a more secure, intuitive, and reliable signing experience, bolstering compliance and significantly reducing friction in critical document workflows.
• PDF JavaScript Execution Migrated to Web Workers and Rebuilt in C++/WebAssembly - This foundational upgrade delivers significantly improved performance and responsiveness (up to 50%) when handling PDFs, ensuring a fluid and stable user interface even with complex documents.
• Enhanced UI Components and Compatibility - The platform now offers a superior and more consistent user experience across all devices and browsers, driven by modern, accessible, and intuitive interface components.

The launch of PDF SDK for Web v11 reflects a bigger shift happening across the industry — developers are looking for faster, smarter, and more flexible tools that are ready for AI and built for real-time web experiences. As companies move away from clunky legacy systems, Foxit is raising the bar for what web-based PDF technology can do. This release gives developers a way to build modern, cloud-first applications without being tied to desktop software. And as expectations grow, other providers still relying on outdated, heavyweight solutions will need to catch up — or risk falling behind.

Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11 is available now. To learn more, request a 30-day trial, and/or watch a demo, please visit: https://developers.foxit.com. To speak with a specialist and request a quote, please visit: https://developers.foxit.com/contact/.

Foxit APIs Help Teams Build Smarter, Faster Document Experiences Without High-Maintenance, Expensive Infrastructure or Bloated Codebases

Gives Developers More Freedom and Flexibility to Serve Customers, Without Lock-Ins, Limitations, or Licensing Headaches of Legacy Vendors

FREMONT, Calif. (July 1, 2025) – Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase their productivity and do more with documents, today announced the launch of its new Foxit APIs, delivering developer-friendly access to Foxit's powerful PDF and document generation technologies, all hosted securely in the cloud.
Foxit APIs are designed for speed, scalability, and simplicity. Allowing organizations to embed advanced document capabilities directly into their applications, customer portals, and digital workflows. From rendering interactive PDFs in a browser to automating high-volume document generation, these APIs help teams build smarter, faster document experiences without bulky infrastructure or bloated codebases.
Foxit’s new APIs include:

• PDF Services API – Automate PDF creation, conversion, manipulation, and optimization. Ideal for back-end workflows like batch processing and document archiving.
• PDF Embed API – Deliver seamless in-browser PDF viewing with full control over appearance, permissions, and interactions, perfect for dashboards, portals, and CRMs.
• Document Generation API – Generate contracts, letters, invoices, and other documents from structured data using templates, at scale.
  These additions perfectly complement Foxit's powerful eSign API, allowing users to build comprehensive, secure electronic signature workflows with full audit trails.
  “Foxit’s eSign API has been a game-changer for us. It integrated seamlessly into our platform, enabling accounting firms to streamline client workflows and eliminate the inefficiencies of juggling multiple tools. It’s fast, reliable, secure, and incredibly developer-friendly -- exactly what we needed to deliver a better experience to our customers,” said Rohan Dixit, CEO, MyWork (Watch “Transforming Accounting with Foxit eSign API | MyWork's Success Story” to learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH9Lm59GvJE.)
  “Foxit has long been recognized for delivering high-performance PDF and eSignature solutions that are faster, lighter, and more flexible than legacy platforms,” said Susana De Abrew, VP, eSign, API and Partner Ecosystem Strategy, Foxit. “With our new APIs, we’re extending that same innovation to developers, giving them direct, scalable access to the technology that powers Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit eSign. These APIs make it easier for our developers to integrate Foxit into their solutions, expand their service offerings, and deliver modern document workflows that are cloud-native, AI-enhanced, and ready for enterprise scale.”
  She added, “This launch creates powerful new opportunities for our technology partners. They can now offer their customers the same advanced PDF and eSign technologies that power Foxit’s flagship products, delivered through modern, flexible APIs. Without the pricing games, forced bundles, or restrictive licensing they’ve come to expect from entrenched vendors. It opens the door for partners to create more flexible, high-value offerings for their customers, on their own terms.”
  What Developers Can Do Now:
• Deliver a seamless document experience directly in the browser
  • Previously: Users were taken out of your platform — PDFs opened in a new tab, downloaded locally, or relied on the browser’s default viewer.
  • Now: The Embed API offers a fast, customizable, no-plugin viewer that developers can control entirely via JavaScript.
• Automate high-volume document generation from data
  • Previously: Developers had to manually create document templates and write scripts to populate them from databases or user inputs, often resulting in inconsistent formatting and limited scalability.
  • Now: The DocGen API lets them generate perfectly formatted contracts, letters, and more directly from JSON or form data using predefined templates.
    Furthermore, Foxit's new APIs prioritize both robust security and optimized performance. They ensure document protection with encryption and password support, while also generating lighter, faster-loading files through smart compression and removal of unnecessary metadata and resources. This combination of security and efficiency ensures businesses can leverage the full power of digital documents with confidence and speed.
    “Foxit’s REST APIs are easy to pick up and powerful to scale,” said Raymond Camden, Foxit API Evangelist. “Developers can quickly build workflows that chain multiple document processes together, and the simplicity of REST makes it a great fit for low-code and no-code platforms.”

New AI Tool Turns Dense Research Documents Into Actionable Insights in Seconds

FREMONT, Calif. (June 24, 2025) – Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase their productivity and do more with documents, today announced the launch of its AI-Powered Research Agent, an intelligent tool designed to help users quickly understand and extract insights from complex research documents like academic papers, clinical trial reports, or usability studies.

Foxit's new AI-Powered Research Agent helps channel partners and end customers do what previously took hours, if not days, in just minutes: extract meaningful, structured insights from dense, complex research documents. Whether it's academic papers, clinical trial reports, white papers, or usability studies, these types of documents are typically filled with technical language, inconsistent formatting, and lengthy sections that require time, expertise, and focus to fully understand. The Research Agent solves this pain point by using AI to automatically break down each document into five clearly defined sections:

• Overview – A summary of the document's purpose and scope
• Research Methods – How the study was conducted
• Research Results – The key findings
• Conclusions – What the results mean
• Glossary – Definitions of technical terms

"Foxit's AI-Powered Research Agent is a game-changer for both channel partners and end customers," said Lara Temel, Product Manager, Foxit. "For channel partners, this is a golden opportunity to deliver high-value, high-impact innovation to clients who are buried trying to make heads or tails out of complex documents. It's not just another feature, it's a differentiator that positions them as a forward-thinking solution provider who helps clients move faster, think smarter, and work more efficiently."

Temel continued, "For end customers, this tool feels like a miracle. Instead of spending hours trying to decode research-heavy PDFs, teams get a clean, structured summary in seconds. It doesn't just save time; it eliminates the mental drag of manual analysis, reduces misinterpretation, and lets users act with confidence.”

The Research Agent is part of a growing suite of AI features available at ai.foxit.com, which now also includes:

• Document Translation – Instantly translate full documents into multiple languages
• Read Aloud – Hear your documents read aloud for easier accessibility and review
• Web Search – Enrich responses with real-time data from the web
• Chat History – Organize and access past conversations in a refreshed left-side panel
• Temporary Chat – Ask questions without saving the conversation history
• Document View – View the uploaded document(s) side-by-side while chatting

Foxit's AI-Powered Research Agent and expanding toolset are the latest example of the company's commitment to creating intelligent, user-centric tools that enhance productivity and eliminate friction in everyday workflows. Explore these enhancements today at ai.foxit.com and discover how AI can help everyone work smarter with research-heavy documents.

Integration Signals Shift From AI Being Hidden Or Secondary Feature to Becoming A Core Part of The User Interface and User Workflow

FREMONT, Calif. (April 29, 2025) – Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase their productivity and do more with documents, today announced a significant upgrade to its AI Assistant within Foxit PDF Editor. The enhanced AI Assistant includes powerful features such as chat with image, multiple document analysis, automatic bookmarking, and additional read-aloud options. A new tab in the ribbon toolbar also provides users with streamlined access to the powerful suite of AI-driven tools designed to simplify and supercharge document management workflows.

The dedicated ribbon tab refers to a specific, clearly labeled section within the top toolbar (aka the "ribbon") of the Foxit PDF Editor interface that is solely focused on AI tools. Think of the ribbon as the strip of tabs at the top of applications like Microsoft Word or Excel – where you see tabs like "Home," "Insert," "Review," etc. A dedicated ribbon tab means Foxit has created a new, standalone tab specifically for its AI Assistant, placing AI-related tools – like AI Chat, Document Translation, and AI Bookmark – in one easily accessible spot. This kind of integration signals a shift from AI being a hidden or secondary feature to becoming a core part of the user interface and user workflow.

What’s New in Foxit’s AI Assistant:

• AI Chat Enhancements
  • Chat with Images - Users can now upload images to extract the text in the image, translate the text, or even describe the image.
• Analyze & Compare Multiple Documents
  • Easily extract key details and compare content across multiple PDFs simultaneously.
• AI Bookmark
  • Automatically generate bookmarks based on document structure or specific page ranges, making navigation and organization easier than ever.
• Intelligent Read
  • Documents can now be read aloud with improved voice options, enabling hands-free review and improved accessibility.

“This isn’t just an enhancement – it’s a redefinition of what users should expect from document software,” said Evan Reiss, VP, Head of Marketing, Foxit. “By putting advanced AI capabilities front and center with a dedicated tab, we’re signaling the next era of human-AI collaboration. While others are still bolting on AI features, Foxit is architecting an AI-first user experience – setting a new pace for the industry and pushing the boundaries of how people interact with content.”
