Foxit, a global PDF and document software company, today launched Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2, the latest version of its flagship editor, which brings more than two decades of PDF document intelligence into a new platform that transforms how people understand, create and share information. The release introduces Foxit Workspace, an AI-powered knowledge hub for multi-document projects, and Local AI, an industry-first capability that processes supported document tasks entirely on the device.

With PDF Editor 2026.2, Foxit introduces Foxit Workspace, a platform where people generate insights across all their documents and turn them into new content. Together with Local AI, bring-your-own-model support, and secure on-device processing, PDF Editor 2026.2 delivers document insights, rich content generation, and multi-model flexibility in one package. Foxit PDF Editor with the Foxit AI subscription gives knowledge workers a lower-cost, more secure path to scalable document intelligence.

“We’re excited to introduce Foxit Workspace in our 2026.2 release. This release is where you can do more, uniting the productivity of PDF Editor, the security of Local AI, and the power of content creation in Workspace,” said Evan Reiss, SVP Marketing, Foxit International. “We’re redesigning the future of PDF and document productivity, making it easier to be more secure and do more with Foxit.”

Foxit Workspace: Do More with Documents

The 2026.2 release extends the Foxit document ecosystem with Workspace, Foxit’s new document intelligence platform that combines AI-powered document insights, content generation and workflow integration to improve productivity. Workspace brings collections of documents together to produce insights, files, and new content.

Bring PDFs, spreadsheets, presentations, links, and notes together in one place, get AI answers quickly and apply a new level of document intelligence to everyday work. Workspace retains project context across sessions and converts insights into editable outputs, including reports, presentations, diagrams, and webpages.

Foxit Workspace enables people to:

  • Generate cross-document insights. Workspace analyzes project files as a set, not one document at a time.
  • Connect the tools teams already use. Foxit PDF Editor is the only PDF editor operating as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) host. Workspace connects with tools including Notion, Atlassian, Fireflies, HubSpot, and Figma, so AI acts where work already happens.
  • Choose the right model for the job. Supported models include GPT and Gemini, so teams are not tied to a single provider.
  • Automate document tasks with Skills. Preset and custom Skills complete recurring document tasks in one click.
  • Get trusted answers. Foxit’s own parsing engine preserves multi-layout document structure and tables to better understand the content and improve AI outputs for better document intelligence.

Secure, Lower-Cost AI With Local AI and Bring-Your-Own-Model

PDF Editor 2026.2 debuts Local AI, a first among PDF editors. Local AI extends PDF Editor’s document intelligence for security-conscious users who want to deploy and run LLMs on their local machines, supporting AI document processing directly on qualifying Windows and Mac devices using Microsoft Foundry Local. Once a compatible model is downloaded, processing and storage for supported tasks stay on the device, enabling people to work offline and keep sensitive content entirely off cloud-based AI services.

With bring-your-own-model support, organizations use their existing frontier model licenses and reduce token consumption costs. Teams connect a license to Foxit AI and apply AI to more of their document work within budgets and security policies they already manage.

For teams in legal, financial services, healthcare, and government, the combination covers documents subject to client confidentiality, contractual restrictions, internal security policies, or regulatory requirements.

“Our partners are looking for AI they can deploy today, in tools their customers already use,” said Scott Young, SVP Strategic Procurement, TD SYNNEX. “Foxit’s approach to document AI, including on-device processing and support for multiple AI models, provides partners with additional options to address the security and compliance requirements of customers in regulated industries.”

Additional Enhancements in PDF Editor 2026.2

PDF Editor 2026.2 also streamlines technical document workflows in architecture, engineering and construction with automatic page labels, custom symbol management, and enhanced measurement tools. An updated OCR engine delivers faster, more accurate text recognition, and improved comparison tools make document review more precise.
