Install a Plug-in (Only Available in the Edition Downloaded from Foxit Official Website)

Foxit PDF Editor allows you to install a plug-in in FZIP format. You can also install one or more plug-ins by using an XML file. An XML file defines the information about plug-ins to be installed, and should be used together with .dylib files.

Workspace Basics

Foxit has integrated the collective commands in the ribbon interface and created a new way of working, namely Ribbon Mode. Ribbon Mode is developed based on Microsoft Office 2013 (Office 15) to provide you with a familiar and intuitive user experience. In this mode, commands are arranged by groups and tasks.
