Foxit® Delivers Rapid Development Kit for iOS in New Version of Embedded PDF SDK

Developers Need Only to Integrate 4 Lines of Code into their Application to Provide a PDF Reader on iOS Platforms.

FREMONT, Calif. - September 11, 2013 - Foxit^® Corporation, a leading provider of solutions for reading, editing, creating, organizing, and securing PDF documents, today announced the delivery of Foxit Embedded PDF SDK 2.1. This new release delivers a Rapid Development Kit (RDK) for iOS to quickly provide PDF reader functionality in iOS apps, improved image rendering, enhanced security, and additional annotation capabilities.

The Foxit RDK for iOS provides companies and individual developers an easier way to integrate PDF viewing, searching, and annotating within their iOS applications. The RDK for iOS is an add-on module of Foxit PDF Embedded SDK which provides built-in UI elements to:

View PDF documents with multiple display modes.
Display and edit annotations in PDF files.
Select and copy text.
Provide powerful side panel views (Bookmark, Outline, Annotation, and Search).
Configure the user interface.

Developers need only minutes to integrate 4 lines of code into their iOS app to provide a powerful PDF reader.

Improvements to the PDF rendering engine include:

Rendering optimization of large images by providing a method to allow rendering at a lower quality/resolution, which will save memory use on resource limited mobile devices.

Enhanced security capabilities include:

Encrypting PDF documents progressively - a document can be encrypted in sections to avoid running out of memory when encrypting large PDF files on resource limited mobile devices.

Additional PDF annotation functionality includes:

Additional annotation types - line, square, circle, squiggle line, underline, strikeout, and free text (typewriter).
More functions for fine control and annotation manipulations.
PDF action support, such as displaying a web page when clicking a hyperlink in an annotation.
