Already recognized as having one of the fastest and most powerful rendering engines on the market, Foxit created its RDK to dramatically reduce developer workloads, enabling them to complete projects more simply with fewer lines of code¾the new Foxit MobilePDF™ SDK, including a high-level API and built-in UI, allows developers to have a prototypes up-and running in fewer than five minutes.
