Foxit announced the launch of
its new Foxit APIs, delivering
developer-friendly access to Foxit's powerful PDF and document generation
technologies, all hosted securely in the cloud.
Foxit
APIs are designed for speed, scalability, and simplicity. Allowing
organizations to embed advanced document capabilities directly into their
applications, customer portals, and digital workflows. From rendering
interactive PDFs in a browser to automating high-volume document generation,
these APIs help teams build smarter, faster document experiences without bulky
infrastructure or bloated codebases.
Foxit's
new APIs include:
- PDF Services API - Automate PDF creation,
conversion, manipulation, and optimization. Ideal for back-end workflows like
batch processing and document archiving
- PDF Embed API - Deliver seamless in-browser PDF
viewing with full control over appearance, permissions, and interactions,
perfect for dashboards, portals, and CRMs
- Document Generation API - Generate contracts,
letters, invoices, and other documents from structured data using templates, at
scale.
These
additions perfectly complement Foxit's powerful eSign API, allowing users to
build comprehensive, secure electronic signature workflows with full audit
trails.
"Foxit's
eSign API has been a game-changer for us. It integrated seamlessly into our
platform, enabling accounting firms to streamline client workflows and
eliminate the inefficiencies of juggling multiple tools. It's fast, reliable,
secure, and incredibly developer-friendly -- exactly what we needed to deliver
a better experience to our customers," said Rohan Dixit, CEO, MyWork (Watch

"Foxit
has long been recognized for delivering high-performance PDF and eSignature
solutions that are faster, lighter, and more flexible than legacy platforms,"
said Susana De Abrew, VP, eSign, API and Partner Ecosystem Strategy, Foxit.
"With our new APIs, we're extending that same innovation to developers, giving
them direct, scalable access to the technology that powers Foxit PDF Editor and
Foxit eSign. These APIs make it easier for our developers to integrate Foxit
into their solutions, expand their service offerings, and deliver modern
document workflows that are cloud-native, AI-enhanced, and ready for enterprise
scale."
She
added, "This launch creates powerful new opportunities for our technology
partners. They can now offer their customers the same advanced PDF and eSign
technologies that power Foxit's flagship products, delivered through modern,
flexible APIs. Without the pricing games, forced bundles, or restrictive
licensing they've come to expect from entrenched vendors. It opens the door for
partners to create more flexible, high-value offerings for their customers, on
their own terms."
What
Developers Can Do Now:
- Deliver a seamless document experience directly
in the browser
-
Previously: Users were
taken out of your platform - PDFs opened in a new tab, downloaded locally, or
relied on the browser's default viewer.
- Now: The Embed API offers a fast, customizable,
no-plugin viewer that developers can control entirely via JavaScript.
- Automate high-volume document generation from
data
-
Previously: Developers
had to manually create document templates and write scripts to populate them
from databases or user inputs, often resulting in inconsistent formatting and
limited scalability
-
Now: The DocGen API lets
them generate perfectly formatted contracts, letters, and more directly from
JSON or form data using predefined templates
Furthermore,
Foxit's new APIs prioritize both robust security and optimized performance.
They ensure document protection with encryption and password support, while
also generating lighter, faster-loading files through smart compression and
removal of unnecessary metadata and resources. This combination of security and
efficiency ensures businesses can leverage the full power of digital documents
with confidence and speed.
"Foxit's
REST APIs are easy to pick up and powerful to scale," said Raymond Camden,
Foxit API Evangelist. "Developers can quickly build workflows that chain
multiple document processes together, and the simplicity of REST makes it a
great fit for low-code and no-code platforms."
