How Foxit Enables PDF Editing on Shared Devices for Campus-wide Remote Access

Temporary COVID-19 resources are expiring, even though schools will still be impacted in the Fall Semester. Unlike our competitors, Foxit will continue to support schools with remote/hybrid classroom solutions.

Earlier this year, many companies offered their products for free (or with flexible terms) to help students and educational institutes cope with COVID-19 school closure. However, with the Spring semester over, companies are now putting an end to their special programs. Although most of these resources are expiring, there is no set expiration date for COVID-19, and schools are still struggling to prepare for remote or hybrid classes in the Fall Semester.

With the definite decisions to continue implementing social distancing and remote environments on campuses, access to powerful PDF editing capabilities for students and faculty/staff is important. With the Foxit PDF Solution for Education– our complete package of easy-to-use PDF viewing and editing solutions made especially for education users; schools can take the right steps towards a streamlined digital document transformation.

Foxit understands the need to continue supporting school budgets with the right resources for schools and students. Here is how we’re making a difference:

Shared Device Licensing for Access Anywhere – at home, in any classroom or lab, on-premise or online.

With the Foxit PDF Education Solution, schools can equip students with their shared device licenses for their campus despite being at home.  As a part of our PDF Education Solution, Foxit PDF Editor (our full featured desktop PDF Editor) provides students with document editing capabilities via a remote or virtual environment.

• Shared device licenses may be installed on school-owned computers and loaned to students
• Shared device licenses may be used in a virtualized environment
• Free student licenses on student-owned computers with campus-wide deployment

Keep Licensing Costs within Budget

Save on costs with shared device licensing instead of purchasing individual student licenses. The result of COVID-19 resources expiring will force many schools to spend more budget on technology for individual student and staff use. Shared device licensing should still be an option despite a change in learning environments. With the Foxit PDF Education Solution, schools can save on costs by buying for sharing instead of being forced to expend more budget on student licensing plans.
