Trusted by Government Agencies and Public Institutions
Public-records requests can require teams to review large files, identify information that should not be released, remove sensitive content, and prepare clean copies for disclosure. Foxit PDF Editor+ supports individual review and redaction, while Foxit Smart Redact Server can automate sensitive-information removal across larger document collections. Agencies keep legal review and release decisions in their own hands.
Government forms, notices, reports, applications, and other public documents need to work for people using assistive technology. Foxit PDF Editor+ helps teams create, check, and remediate accessible PDFs so documents are easier to navigate, read, and complete. Accessibility still depends on document structure, authoring choices, remediation, and review.
Agencies can accumulate years of paper records, scanned files, forms, case documents, and legacy archives that are difficult to search or move between systems. Foxit Enterprise Automation turns these into searchable, standardized, archive-ready records at scale, from OCR and format conversion through redaction and routing. Foxit Maestro Server OCR handles high-volume conversion of scanned and image-based records, Foxit PDF Compressor reduces file sizes for long-term archival output, and Foxit Rendition Server manages complex transformation and routing across agency systems.

Practical questions agency teams ask before they buy
Some agency documents need hands-on review, editing, remediation, or redaction. Others arrive by the thousands. Choose technology that supports everyday PDF work as well as server-side automation when document volume grows.
Automation can help identify sensitive information and prepare records for release, but public-records decisions still require agency judgment. Look for tools that accelerate review without removing people from the final decision.
Public-facing PDFs and forms should support accessible reading, navigation, and completion. Evaluate accessibility checking and remediation as part of the publishing workflow rather than as an afterthought.
Government documents often move through portals, case-management systems, records repositories, and internal applications. Look for APIs, SDKs, and server technology that can support those existing environments.
Government documents can contain personally identifiable information, legal records, controlled information, case data, and other sensitive content. Foxit provides document protection, permissions, redaction, audit capabilities, and deployment options across its portfolio.
