Unified Release Marks Definitive Break from Legacy PDF Technologies, Empowering Developers with Faster, Smarter, and More Compliant Document Solutions
UK, London - 9 September 2025 - Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, today announced the launch of two major product updates: Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11 and Foxit PDF SDK for Desktop 11.0.0.
Together, these releases mark a significant leap forward in developer tools for document workflows, delivering major advances in performance, security, rendering, compliance, and adaptability. Foxit is equipping developers to build modern, AI-ready applications that are faster, more secure, and more reliable across browsers, devices, and enterprise environments.
Web SDK v11 – WebAssembly-Powered Performance for Browser-Native Applications
Foxit PDF SDK for Web v11 introduces a complete architectural overhaul anchored in a WebAssembly-based core, delivering up to 50 percent faster performance even for large or complex PDFs. The release completely redefines signing workflows, creating smoother, more secure, and compliant eSigning experiences within the browser environment. Developers also benefit from unified APIs and a fully refactored forms module, streamlining development and improving reliability for complex form handling. Enhanced UI components and modernised design ensure pixel-perfect rendering across all browsers and devices, eliminating the inconsistencies that have historically plagued web-based PDF solutions.
“This is more than just a version update. It signals a fundamental shift in how modern document technology is built and delivered,” said Evan Reiss, Head of Innovation, Foxit. “With businesses moving away from legacy systems, developers need tools that are fast, flexible, and future-proof. With the new releases of Foxit PDF SDK for Web and Foxit PDF SDK for Desktop, we’re delivering exactly that.”
Desktop SDK v11.0.0 - Fortified Security and Smarter Compliance for Enterprise Workflows
Foxit PDF SDK for Desktop 11.0.0 focuses on strengthening enterprise-grade workflows with new layers of security, enhanced rendering control, smarter OCR, and improved compliance. Document sanitisation and advanced thread safety boost stability and resilience for high-demand tasks, while developers gain more precise control over rendering, ensuring visually consistent results even for complex documents.
OCR has been significantly improved, converting results directly into searchable formats with greater speed and flexibility. Optimisation tools have also been upgraded, making it easier to compress images, manage fonts, and streamline large documents. Compliance features, including enhanced PDF/A conversion, ensure organisations can meet regulatory standards with less effort. Finally, expanded support for Go, Python, Linux, and MacOS broadens platform compatibility, enabling developers to build confidently across a wide range of environments.
“With every release, our goal is to give developers more than just new features. We want to give them peace of mind and the freedom to innovate,” said Jeff Brand, Team Lead SDK, Foxit. “PDF SDK v11.0.0 is about smarter, more adaptable tools that let our customers focus on building solutions with real business impact.”
