Device Manufacturers, Carriers, and Application Developers Can Now Create Feature-Rich Mobile PDF Applications for Android and iOS Handhelds
FREMONT, Calif. – May 17, 2011 – Foxit® Corporation, a leading provider of solutions for reading, editing, creating, organizing, and securing PDF documents, today announced that the company’s popular Embedded PDF Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available for the Android and Apple iOS platforms. The Foxit Embedded PDF SDK is a PDF software development toolkit that enables mobile platform developers to support applications that leverage PDF technology to display, search, and annotate documents.
Device manufacturers and telecom carriers bundle PDF applications on their handheld devices to increase the value of their products. Mobile application developers using the Foxit Embedded PDF SDK can incorporate powerful, industry-standard PDF technology within their applications – and can extend their market reach as new mobile devices are introduced. Technologies that offer a "develop once, port many times" development model allow these developers to extend the reach of their software while meeting the requirements of device manufacturers for feature differentiation.
The Foxit Embedded PDF SDK provides these capabilities in an easy-to-integrate solution, enabling customers to significantly reduce their time to market while providing a stable, tested, high-quality product. The SDK is platform-independent, with support today for Android, iOS, and Windows® Mobile for tablets and smartphones; and Embedded Linux™ and Windows CE for devices such as printers, handsets, and feature phones.

"Foxit’s platform provides an independent, lightweight architecture that enables our engineering teams to develop a common user experience once and then deploy it across all major operating systems. This helps speed porting and deployment, getting BSQUARE clients to market faster and with less risk."
"ACCESS provides advanced software technologies that have brought the Internet to a new generation of mobile devices and consumers," said Albert Chu, vice president of global alliances for ACCESS, a global provider of advanced software technologies to the mobile and beyond-PC markets. "We required a stable PDF content delivery solution across multiple mobile OS platforms to support our customers.
