It’s an honor, a privilege, and what motivates us to always innovate, always improve.

Which brings us to today.

New packaging. Better experience. More features than ever.

You may have noticed some changes if you’ve visited our website today. Those changes are called Foxit PDF Editor, Foxit PDF Editor+, eSign Essentials, and eSign Business.

We’ve listened to your concerns and heard your needs, and over the past year, we’ve been working hard to bundle the Foxit software solutions you know and trust to deliver the PDF experience built to propel you and your business forward at lightning speed.

Our developers have taken the PDF and eSign software you use daily, enhanced them to deliver a bigger punch of usability, and topped everything off with a heaping helping of feature-rich and AI magic to enhance any document workflow. You can expect a more frictionless purchase and update experience, better-focused attributes, and more feature-rich plans for when you need more. To sum everything up, not only have we made it easier and more convenient to switch to Foxit but we’re also giving users all the document management features they need to be more efficient with less effort.

So, what do these new options look like? Let’s take a look.

Foxit PDF Editor

Foxit PDF Editor is a powerful tool for creating, editing, and converting PDF documents. It offers a comprehensive and streamlined suite of features that enable users to easily handle PDF files, including advanced editing capabilities, OCR integration for scanning and organizing documents, and tools for creating and auto-filling forms. With Foxit PDF Editor, users can enhance productivity and ensure their document workflows are seamless and efficient, whether working on desktop or cloud platforms. It now includes an AI Assistant, which automates repetitive tasks and offers intuitive suggestions to streamline workflows. Plus, cloud storage has also been updated, providing users with 20 GB of storage for easier document management.

Foxit PDF Editor+

Foxit PDF Editor+ builds on the enhancements of the standard PDF Editor with additional features and increased capacity. It includes all the functionalities of the standard editor but offers expanded cloud storage of 150 GB, catering to users with more extensive document management needs. This solution also integrates seamlessly with Foxit eSign Business, providing a robust suite for both PDF editing and electronic signatures. Additionally, Editor+ now includes 150 envelopes annually for eSignatures, ensuring users can handle a higher volume of signed documents without additional costs. The suite is designed to offer a more comprehensive and workflow-friendly solution for SMBs and large enterprises, enhancing productivity and document management capabilities.

eSign Essentials

Our new eSign Essentials solution offers an updated experience to serve users with moderate eSigning needs better. It now includes an allocation of 250 envelopes annually, allowing users to manage their eSignatures effectively within this limit. The integration and user interface are streamlined to ensure a more user-friendly experience. Notably, eSign Essentials users cannot add more licenses or envelopes; however, they now have the option to transition to higher-tier plans if their needs exceed the provided quota. This option is designed to meet the essential eSigning requirements of small to medium-sized businesses, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution to sign and complete important documents.

eSign Business

eSign Business has been significantly enhanced to offer more comprehensive eSigning capabilities. It now includes unlimited envelopes on an annual basis, removing any limitations on the number of documents that can be signed. This solution also improves User Access Management and Security features, better aligning this option with the needs of enterprise customers. Existing eSign Pro and eSign Enterprise customers are encouraged to transition to eSign Business upon renewal, as this new option offers better functionality and flexibility.

Foxit Admin Console

The Admin Console (AC) in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Editor+ solutions has received several updates to enhance usability and management capabilities. Existing customers with AC can now manage new product additions and additional licenses directly within their existing AC environment.

Managing licenses and user permissions is made easy with Foxit’s Admin Console, which offers:

• Centralized License Management: Simplifying the administration of Foxit PDF Editor and eSign licenses.
• Integration with SSO and Active Directory: Enhancing security by securely accessing user information.
• Automated Upgrades: Ensuring your software is always up to date with minimal manual intervention.

For users purchasing through the online store, the option to add AC to their plan at checkout has been streamlined, allowing easier license management. This update also ensures compatibility with all supported operating systems and maintains the same deployment methods as previous versions.
