New Features and Improvements in Foxit PDF Reader 2025.2.0.33046​

• New features and enhancements for AI Assistant
  • Foxit PDF Reader is the first PDF solution to natively support Model Context Protocol (MCP), seamlessly connecting your documents to external tools.

  • Enhance the Intelligent Read feature by enabling the reading of document summaries aloud and turning document content into a two-person podcast-style conversation, offering a faster, more engaging way to consume documents.
  • Integrate live Web Search to bring up-to-date, relevant external context from the web into conversations, accessible directly within the AI Chat interface.
  • Agentic document chatting supports advanced reasoning and context-aware answers, minimizes hallucinations and guesswork, and improves accuracy when navigating complex content.
• Provide a native 64-bit version of the application to enhance the performance on 64-bit systems.
• Provide support for Microsoft’s Double Key Encryption (DKE), which protects highly sensitive data by using two encryption keys—one controlled by the user and another stored securely in Microsoft Azure (MSI package only).
• Enable admins to use deployment tools to configure a shared location for stamp templates across the organization.
• Compatible with USB writing pads for users to add handwritten signatures as stamps in PDFs conveniently.

Version 2026.2.0.39747​

Release Date: September 1, 2026

New Features and Improvements in Foxit PDF Reader 2026.2.0.39747​

• Meet the newly enhanced Foxit AI Assistant - empower your work with intelligent Workspace and smarter interactions.
  
  • Introduce Foxit Workspace
    Create a project around your documents or a topic, then work with AI to review source materials, extract and organize information, draft content, and develop reusable and sharable outputs (including documents, images, presentations, mind maps, diagrams, infographics, web pages, and Markdown). Foxit Workspace transforms document-based work into a more connected process to help users complete real tasks, not just chat.
  • Enhanced AI Chat experience - The redesigned AI Assistant Chat has been upgraded from a standard Q&A interface to an Agent that can execute in cycles, maintain context, and invoke tools. Under this agent-based structure, previous tools listed in More tools and certain ribbon commands have been redesigned as skills or generation modes via Chat. The enhanced AI Chat also supports additional AI models, default connected apps (MCP connectors), and skills creation and management.
  • Support for Local AI with BYOM and SLMs - Provide strict data security by keeping document content within the user's environment while giving users control over which AI models run through custom models with Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) and enabling efficient on-device processing with SLMs.
  • Make document translation easier to control by letting users choose the pages to translate, choose Danish as a target language, and follow language-aware guidance during translation.
  • The redesigned Intelligent Reading has been separated into two standalone features, Read Aloud and Smart Podcast, providing a more streamlined way to explore, understand, and work with document content. The Read Aloud feature has been further improved to support reading selected text and highlighting the text currently being read.
• Add Arabic to the application interface for a more localized experience.
• Enhance Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP) support (Enterprise Packaging only)
  • Display the sensitivity labels that apply only to files, keeping the labeling experience focused.
  • Update the justification experience to ensure a complete, reliable audit trail for label changes.
  • Extend support to organizations using Azure Government Cloud (GCC High).
• Allow administrators to make enterprise-defined stamps available from a shared drive or local OneDrive folders so users always access the latest stamp set, with optional restrictions on end-user editing. All configurations can be managed through Foxit Customization Wizard or GPO settings.
• Improve certificate workflows by supporting the import of trusted certificates in CRT format and automatically recognizing timestamps embedded in certificates.
• Other enhancements to the user experience.

What isn't? Besides targeted attacks no hacker would assume your using Foxit or even Sumatra over the tried, true and exploited Adobe.

 

[Parkinsond]

What isn't? Besides targeted attacks no hacker would assume your using Foxit or even Sumatra over the tried, true and exploited Adobe.

Foxit and Sumatra are quite popular, as much as Adobe for home use sector; in enterprise, Adobe prevails.

I find Pdf-xchange the best available free option, with better security options than Foxit.
