• Offer two versions (ActiveX and DLL) for you to choose from
• Show unique advantages compared with other PDF SDKs

Add high-quality PDF rendering functions to your applications

Foxit Reader SDK is specialized in PDF document rendering and it doesn't provide PDF parsing, editing, or creation capabilities. Although Foxit Reader SDK exports only a few functions, software developers can use it to do all the rendering with high quality and efficiency. In addition, it supports all manipulation like zooming, rotating, scrolling, printing, bookmark, link, paging, etc. Besides these, Foxit SDK also supports advanced features like text search and text selection.  More>>

Easily integrate Foxit Reader SDK into your business applications

Foxit Reader SDK simplifies PDF integration of business applications on most operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS. Software developers can call SDK APIs from different programming languages like VB, Delphi or C++. It helps save much precious time of the development and speeds up time to market process.  More>>

Adopt the first-class PDF Rendering Engine used in the most popular Foxit Reader

Using the same engine as Foxit Reader, Foxit Reader SDK includes the following compelling features:

• Light weight
• Breezing-fast speed
• Superb display quality
• Full compatibility with PDF Standard 1.7

Therefore, software developers can use it to display any PDF files that can be opened by Foxit Reader, with the same high quality and fast speed.  More>>

Offer two versions (ActiveX and DLL) for you to choose from

Foxit Reader SDK has been packaged into two versions, ActiveX version and DLL version.

The ActiveX version of Foxit Reader SDK allows the application to integrate PDF rendering functions much more easily than the DLL version. Not only does Foxit ActiveX display pages, it also handles user interaction like navigating, zooming, rotating, scrolling, printing, etc. ActiveX version is also more affordable than the DLL version. However, the DLL version is more flexible than the ActiveX one. The DLL version allows the host program to create its own User Interface(UI). Software developers can choose which one is more suitable to fit their needs.   More>>

Show unique advantages compared with other SDKs

Foxit Reader SDK is carefully designed and implemented so that for most documents, it achieves rendering speed faster than Adobe Acrobat Reader while maintaining the same rendering quality. Foxit Reader SDK frees developers from complicated technical details about PDF, and lets them focus on the business logic of their application.  More>>
