>Help me build a simple example using Foxit. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

The user is asking about "Foxit". Let me check if there's any context in the repository. Foxit is a PDF SDK vendor. Let me take a look at the repository.

The repo is empty. The user is asking about "Foxit" — probably referring to Foxit PDF SDK / Foxit eSign? Let me check whether there's network access to fetch Foxit's docs. Foxit products: Foxit PDF SDK (client-side, requires a license key obtained via sales), Foxit PDF Editor, Foxit eSign API. Pricing is generally not publicly disclosed — it's quote-based, with a trial available. Is there a developer workflow I can tackle? Foxit PDF SDK requires downloading the SDK and a license key, typically involves contacting sales, and no self-serve API key exists. Foxit eSign has a REST API, but this also requires obtaining a developer account via sales.
Let me quickly check network access.

Foxit is a commercial PDF SDK. Key questions to address:
-
Pricing: Foxit doesn't publish pricing publicly. It's quote-based (a "Get a Quote" button). Trials are 30 days. Foxit's PDF SDK requires a license key obtained via sales/trial registration.
-
Is there an actionable developer workflow? Foxit PDF SDK: to use it, you need to download the SDK (does that require registration or contacting sales?). Actually, for the Foxit PDF SDK trial, you need to fill out a form to download it. Is there an npm package? There's @foxitsoftware/... — the Web SDK requires a license key. Is the Foxit eSign API available via Postman? There's also the legacy "Foxit PDF Toolkit" CLI. There's also Foxit PDF Editor Web / Foxit PDF SDK for Web, and the npm package is private (their own npm registry requiring authentication).
Check whether the trial download can be obtained without contacting sales, and whether any of the documentation quickstarts require a license key.

There are npm packages published by Foxit. The Web SDK library "@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library" is published on public npm. It can be installed without authentication. However, to actually operate it, a license key (a snippet containing appKey/appSecret obtained through a trial registration) is required. Let's verify: Foxit Web SDK quickstart — requires a license. Let's check the documentation quickstart and see whether installation is possible without a key. In fact, the Foxit Web SDK requires registration at developers.foxit.com to obtain a trial license (a 30-day trial), and you need to fill out a form to receive a license snippet. Without that, the SDK displays a watermark / does not work.
The Node conversion SDK is the same — it also requires a license.
Can I build an example without a license key? Let's try installing the web library and see whether it works without a license. The license is enforced. Without a license, it fails to initialize.
Let me quickly check the web SDK quickstart documentation.

The package can be installed without any issues. Let me check the README to confirm the license requirements and how the initialization mechanism works.

$
cd /tmp/foxittest/node_modules/@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library && head -100 README.md; echo ====; ls lib server | head -30
# Foxit PDF SDK for web
# Foxit PDF SDK for web
## Install
```sh
npm install -S @foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library
```
## Integration (Based on webpack & babel)
Simplified webpack configuration for copy resources example:
```js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const distPath = path.resolve('dist');
const libraryModulePath = path.resolve('node_modules/@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library');
const libPath = path.resolve(libraryModulePath, '');
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
plugins: [
new CopyWebpackPlugin({
patterns:[{
from: libPath,
to: path.resolve(distPath, 'lib'),
force: true
}]
}),
]
};
```
Now you can use it in your code like following:
```js
import * as UIExtension from '@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library/lib/UIExtension.full.js';
import '@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library/lib/UIExtension.vw.css';
const pdfui = new UIExtension.PDFUI({
viewerOptions: {
libPath: '/lib',
jr: {
licenseKey: license.licenseKey,
licenseSN: license.licenseSN,
enginePath: './jr-engine/gsdk',
fontPath: 'http://webpdf.foxitsoftware.com/webfonts/'
}
},
renderTo: '#pdf-ui',
addons: [
'/lib/uix-addons/path-objects'
]
});
pdfui.openPDFByHttpRangeRequest({
range:{
url:'/path/to/pdffile.pdf',
}
},{fileName:'PDF file name.pdf'});
```

›Thinking…
The SDK requires a licenseKey/licenseSN obtained through trial registration (a form is required — the quickstart says to obtain the license from developers.foxit.com, but that requires filling out a form. There's no self-service API key). However, I can scaffold a complete sample project using placeholder license fields, so the user just needs to paste in the key they got from the free trial signup. This is a workable developer workflow: installing the SDK, creating the app, and the only thing blocked is the license key (which requires registration with an email address, but I can't complete that myself).
Is this "blocked"? The user said "let me know if you get blocked. If this product doesn't have a workable developer workflow, say so clearly and stop." Foxit does have a developer workflow (SDK, npm, documentation). The license key is a registration wall, but I can still build a sample and note the blocked step. Building a sample and noting the license key as a blocked step seems appropriate.
Also on pricing: Foxit doesn't publicly disclose pricing — quote-based, per-platform/per-developer licenses, with a free 30-day trial. Should I quickly check the pricing page? Foxit doesn't publish pricing for the PDF SDK. Does Foxit PDF Editor have listed prices? Foxit eSign had pricing ($?) before. Let's not overdo it; do a quick check of the "get a quote" page.
Let me quickly check whether the pricing page exists.

There's no pricing page. Okay. So I'll build an example. Plan: a small static page using the Web SDK, plus Node? Keep it lightweight: a static HTML page that loads UIExtension from a local copy of node_modules via a simple static server? "Don't start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands"—starting a static file server is a fine line. I could use npx serve, but that's long-running. Better approach: scaffold the project files and show the user a one-liner command to run (npx serve or python3 -m http.server), without me running it in the background myself. Or make it Node-based? The Web SDK requires a browser. Alternatively, use the Node conversion SDK—@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-conversion-sdk-node—but that also requires a license key, and it's a conversion SDK.
The simplest deliverable: scaffold an index.html that loads the SDK via a CDN? The Web SDK is not officially on a public CDN; but you can reference relative paths to files in node_modules and instruct the user to run npx http-server. Scaffold and document, don't run.
Also test that the headless part works without a license? PDFViewCtrl's non-UI might work... probably license-gated the same way. Don't spend time on it.
Create the example under /sandbox/repo/foxit-example:
- package.json with dependency (already installed in /tmp; install into the repo)
- index.html
- app.js with a placeholder license constant and comments
- README.md explaining how to obtain a trial license and how to run.
Install the dependency into the repo (npm install—finite, so it's fine).
Foxit has a practical developer workflow (a public npm package + docs), so I'll build out an example. I've checked npm, and the Web SDK installs without any issues. Let me scaffold the project into the repo:

›Thinking…
Now let's create the sample file. The SDK requires libPath pointing to the lib directory. If using a plain static server (no webpack), we can serve the project root and reference node_modules/@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library/lib. Simplest approach: an index.html with a script tag pointing to node_modules/.../lib/UIExtension.full.js, plus CSS. The libPath setting should point to the lib directory for workers and assets. enginePath is a relative path from libPath: libPath + '/jr-engine/gsdk'. fontPath uses the foxit webfonts URL.
License: place placeholders at the top of app.js.
Also include a sample PDF — generate one with a simple script? Can we hand-write a minimal PDF, or use Python? Write out a small valid PDF via Python (reportlab is probably not installed). It's possible to hand-craft a minimal PDF — I'll go with generating a small valid PDF using Python's built-in features.

Now the README and the final answer. Also add .gitignore for node_modules? The repo root already has .gitignore — need to check whether node_modules is included.

›Thinking…
Complete. Next, write the final answer: what was built, how the pricing mechanism works, ease of management, and the blocked parts.
Pricing: Foxit does not publicly disclose the price of the PDF SDK. It's quote-based ("Get a Quote"), varies by platform/module/developer seat + annual maintenance, and has a free 30-day trial. Foxit PDF Editor (consumer product) has listed pricing, but the SDK does not. Foxit eSign is also quote-based. Mention that the SDK's pricing is not publicly disclosed.
Ease of management for the agent: Partial — the SDK is installed from public npm and is well-documented, but since licensing requires a registration form (email/sales contact), any execution is blocked at that step. Also, the web SDK requires a browser + static server, which is only partially manageable. Frankly speaking: once the user pastes the trial key, the workflow is manageable (code edits and npm), but I cannot obtain the key myself, nor can I verify the rendering without a browser.
One blocked step: License key registration.
66What I built —
Done. Here's the summary:
What I built — /sandbox/repo/foxit-example/
A minimal viewer using the official Foxit PDF SDK for Web (@foxitsoftware/foxit-pdf-sdk-for-web-library v11.1.1, installed straight from public npm):
index.html— loads the SDK bundle + CSS, mounts the viewerapp.js— createsUIExtension.PDFUI, openssample.pdf, enables search/download/annotation addonssample.pdf— tiny valid PDF, generated and sanity-checked viatools/make-sample-pdf.py(stdlib only)README.md— setup + run instructions (npx http-server -p 8080 .)
How pricing works
Foxit does not publish SDK pricing — there's no pricing page, just a "Get a Quote" button. In practice it's sales-quoted commercial licensing: you pay per platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/Web/mobile are separately licensed products), typically per-developer seats plus annual maintenance/support. The entry point is a free 30-day trial requiring a registration form. If you need public, self-serve pricing, Foxit is not that kind of product.
Is it easy for me to manage?
Partially. The code side is fine: the SDK is on public npm, documented, and I can edit/extend the example freely. But two things limit me:
- Blocked step (the only one): the SDK hard-requires a
licenseKey/licenseSNpair that you can only get by filling out Foxit's trial registration form (email/sales contact). There are no self-serve API keys, so I can't complete or verify a running viewer myself. You paste the key intoapp.jsand it should boot. - Verification needs a real browser (WASM engine + workers), so I can scaffold and sanity-check but can't visually confirm rendering from here.
No local service stacks were started and nothing long-running was executed — the static server command is left for you to run when you're ready.
