FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Foxit Software, a leading provider of fast, affordable, and secure PDF solutions, today announced Foxit PDF SDK for Web 7.0, a major new release that dramatically boosts PDF rendering performance for web applications, speeds up and simplifies development, and provides a variety of new features, including touchscreen capability, to improve end user experiences.

PDF SDK for Web 7.0 offers a built-in viewer and UI that allows developers to integrate a fully featured and customizable PDF viewer within minutes. Developers can easily pick and choose the functionality they want, making it ideal for web applications that require a UI that meets specific user requirements and reflects a company's branding.

PDF SDK for Web 7.0 is now part of Foxit's single core API, allowing developers to create applications in JavaScript in the same way they use Foxit's desktop and mobile SDKs. Developers can utilize editing functions to manipulate PDFs, sign forms, add annotations and other powerful features without requiring additional PDF SDKs.
