New Release
What's New in
Foxit PDF Editor v2026.2
A new AI platform for document work, an AI Assistant that acts instead of answering, sharper tools for AEC teams, formulas that read correctly, and more.
What's in this release
Four changes worth installing for
Workspace
Turn documents into deliverables
Build a project around your files, then work with AI to review sources, organize information, and produce sharable output.
AI Assistant
An agent, not a chatbot
Chat executes in cycles and calls tools. Local AI, BYOM, MCP connectors, and a new OCR engine sit behind it.
AEC
Built for drawing sets
Custom page labels, annotation symbol toolboxes, and six new measuring tools for high-volume bidding work.
MathML
Formulas that read correctly
Recognize tagged formulas and convert them to MathML or LaTeX, written directly into the document tags.
Turn Documents Into Deliverables
The new document intelligence platform launching with PDF Editor. Agentic iterations, interactive Q&A, and Skills automation, so what you get back is a report, deck, or diagram, not a draft you still have to build.
Agentic iterations keep working until the output is finished, not drafted.
Interactive Q&A and human-in-the-loop keep you in the decisions that matter.
Automate recurring document tasks with Skills. Set it up once and stop rebuilding every week.
Smarter Interactions
AI Assistant Enhancements
Chat is now an agent that works in cycles, keeps context, and calls tools. Around it: on-device processing for sensitive files, your own models, and connections to the systems your work already lives in.
Agentic AI Chat
Chat has moved from question-and-answer to an agent that executes in cycles, maintains context, and invokes tools until the task is finished.
Edit PDF and Create Image modes
Local AI keeps sensitive work on your device
When a document is too sensitive for the cloud, run supported tasks with on-device SLMs instead. Document content stays inside your environment.
An industry first among mainstream desktop PDF editors
Bring your own model
Connect the AI model license you already own instead of buying the same capability twice, and choose which model runs each task.
Custom models, local models, and commercial AI models
MCP connectors reach your other tools
v2026.2 operates as an MCP host, so the editor can pull the context a document needs from the systems of record instead of copy-paste.
Upgraded OCR engine
A new OCR engine strengthens component security and improves recognition reliability, so scanned pages come back searchable and accurate.
Scans, drawings, and markups
Skills, translation, and reading
Create and manage your own skills, choose the pages and images to translate, and use Read Aloud and Smart Podcast as standalone features.
Plus more accurate AI-generated bookmarks
Built for Technical Teams
AEC Feature Enhancements
Labeling, symbols, and measurement built for the drawing sets and high-volume bidding work that take the longest to get through.
Custom page labels created from bookmarks or a selected page region, shown alongside logical page numbers for all pages or a range.
Custom symbol toolboxes let you create, import, export, and manage frequently used annotation symbols in the Favorite Toolbox panel.
Six new measuring tools for Volume, Polylength, Diameter, Center Radius, 3 Point Radius, and Angle, with better compatibility with measurements made in other PDF applications.
Cross-page comparison makes PDF Compare more accurate and the results clearer to read across long revisions.
Shared enterprise stamps from a network drive or OneDrive folder, so everyone works from the latest set.
Math and Science Documents
MathML Formula Recognition
An AI-powered accessibility tool recognizes tagged formulas in a PDF, converts them to MathML, and writes them straight into the tags.
Recognize tagged formulas in a PDF and convert them to MathML automatically.
Written into the tag tree so assistive technology reads mathematical content correctly.
MathML or LaTeX on demand for any formula you select, straight from the AI Chat panel.
