How Can I Easily Translate Entire PDF Documents?

Foxit PDF Editor lets you translate an entire PDF document with a single command through its AI Assistant, converting the file into any of 25+ languages while preserving the original layout, fonts, images, and structure, so there’s no reformatting to do afterward. For a full document, not just a paragraph, that combination of speed and layout preservation is what actually makes translation easy.

Math That Screen Readers Can Finally Read: Inside Foxit's Mathml Conversion

Math That Screen Readers Can Finally Read: Inside Foxit's Mathml Conversion

Highlights AI recognizes tagged formulas automatically: Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2 detects tagged mathematical formulas in a PDF and converts them to MathML, embedding it directly into the document’s tag structure. Built for accessibility, not just conversion: MathML tagging makes mathematical content readable by screen readers and other assistive technology, supporting Section 508 accessibility Convert on demand, too: Select any formula in a PDF and convert it to MathML or LaTeX directly from the AI Chat panel. No separate tool required: Runs inside the editor you already use, no export to a third-party formula converter needed. A PDF with a beautifully typeset equation is only useful to the person who can see it. For a screen reader user, a formula that isn’t tagged correctly often reads as a wall of disconnected symbols instead of an equation. Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2 addresses that gap directly with an AI-powered tool built specifically for […]

The AI That Never Leaves Your Device: Inside Foxit Local AI

The AI That Never Leaves Your Device: Inside Foxit Local AI

Highlights Everything stays on-device: Chat, editing, summarizing, and translation all run locally. Nothing crosses the network. Ties into the same release as BYOM and Workspace: Local AI and Bring Your Own Model both control where AI processing happens for work inside a single document. Foxit Workspace handles the separate case of work spanning many documents.

One-time setup, then fully offline: Download a matched model once, switch to On-Device mode, and work without a network connection from there. Included, not sold separately: Available through the AI subscription add-on on Foxit PDF Editor, PDF Editor+, and Foxit PDF Reader, rather than as its own product. Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2 brings a […]

One AI Agent, Every Document: Inside Foxit Workspace

One AI Agent, Every Document: Inside Foxit Workspace

Highlights A separate space for multi-document work: Foxit Workspace treats a whole project as the unit of work, not a single file, producing one finished report, presentation, or diagram instead of a scattered chat thread. Ties into the same release as Local AI and BYOM: Local AI and BYOM control where AI processing happens inside a single document.

Local AI Has Arrived: Introducing Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2, Now with On-Device AI Processing

Local AI Has Arrived: Introducing Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2, Now with On-Device AI Processing

Legal teams can’t run a client file through a public AI chatbot. Hospitals can’t paste patient records into a cloud model.

It’s the reality of working with regulated, sensitive documents in 2026. Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2 changes what’s possible for those teams. Local AI runs supported tasks directly on your device, so the file itself never leaves your machine. A second, more universal problem gets solved in the same release: Foxit Workspace turns a messy folder of source documents into one finished deliverable, without the copy-paste marathon that usually comes with it.

Don’t Bet on a Single AI Future: How Future-Ready Leaders Build Resilient Document Workflows Today

Don’t Bet on a Single AI Future: How Future-Ready Leaders Build Resilient Document Workflows Today

Highlights Most organizations are planning for one AI future—but smarter leaders prepare for many. Scenario planning helps teams avoid the trap of building document systems that collapse when AI changes direction. The right AI-powered document tools must support flexibility, interoperability, and ongoing evolution. Foxit’s Document AI, eSign, and PDF workflows offer future-ready foundations that fit multiple scenarios—not just the one vendors hope will happen. Scenario planning is not about prediction—it’s about building resilience into every workflow, from data extraction to contract management. For months now, organizations have been sprinting toward AI as if the future were already written. Vendors promise certainty, analysts pitch single-trajectory forecasts, and boardrooms assume today’s AI capabilities will naturally mature in clean, predictable lines. But futurist Daniel Rasmus offers a refreshing—and necessary—correction. In our recent conversation, he emphasized: “Organizations that do not accept uncertainty… are much higher risk.” This is especially true for document-driven teams in […]

AI and Legal Documents: How to Streamline Workflows and Boost Productivity

AI and Legal Documents: How to Streamline Workflows and Boost Productivity

Key Takeaways How AI is Reshaping Legal Document Management If you’ve ever dealt with legal documents, you know how much time and attention they take. Well, AI’s changing that game. AI tackles those repetitive tasks, the ones that eat up time, and that means we’re more accurate and everyone’s workflow gets a little smoother. With AI legal document generators and AI legal document review, law firms and corporate legal teams can handle large volumes of paperwork more efficiently. AI-powered legal documentation assistants use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to scan, analyze, and organize legal documents. This tech can pull out the key clauses, highlight any inconsistencies, and even give you compliance-based revisions. So, instead of getting bogged down in paperwork, lawyers can actually focus on the big picture. It feels like for every legal process, you need a forest’s worth of paperwork. That’s the biggest issue with legal […]

Breaking Barriers: Accessibility, AI , and the Human Side of Technology

Breaking Barriers: Accessibility, AI , and the Human Side of Technology

Highlights The New Language of Inclusion Technology was always meant to empower—but for many users with disabilities, it’s often been a wall rather than a window. From unreadable PDFs to inconsistent web design, digital experiences that exclude aren’t just inconvenient—they’re isolating. But the AI era is changing that. In our recent conversation with Shawn Jordison, digital accessibility expert and founder of The Accessibility Guy, he reflected on how quickly the narrative has shifted: “Access is the key to life,” Jordison said. “AI is like a personal assistant that can now work beside you, helping remove the barriers that used to take hours—or entire teams—to overcome.” AI isn’t just speeding up workflows—it’s humanizing them. Where accessibility once required countless hours of manual tagging, testing, and formatting, new AI-powered solutions are making it possible to reach compliance and inclusion simultaneously. From Manual Labor to Meaningful Access Accessibility used to be a grind. […]
