64-bit Foxit PDF Editor for Windows: Upgrade Guide

Starting with Windows Editor versions v2025.2 and v14, Foxit now offers a native 64-bit version of the Editor. This upgrade is designed to take full advantage of modern 64-bit systems, delivering better performance and scalability.

Upgrade Guidance

• If you're currently using a 32-bit version, you’ll continue to receive updates for that version automatically.
• There is no automatic upgrade to the 64-bit version.
• To switch to the 64-bit Editor, you’ll need to manually download and install it.
• After installing the 64-bit version, all future updates will apply to that version only.

Plugin Compatibility

Many users rely on third-party plugins built using Foxit’s 32-bit SDK, which are not compatible with the 64-bit Editor. To avoid disrupting workflows, automatic upgrades are not enabled.

Key Considerations:

• Foxit-developed plugins (e.g., FileOpen, DocuSign, Office) are available in both 32-bit and 64-bit formats.
• Third-party plugins may not yet support the 64-bit version.
• Before upgrading, please check with your plugin providers to confirm 64-bit compatibility.
• Visit the Foxit Add-ons page to download the correct plugin version for your Editor. Download PDF Reader and PDF Editor Add-ons | Foxit

Download Options

• In the Admin Console, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available for download.
• On the Foxit website, the download page automatically detects your operating system and provides the corresponding version:
  • 64-bit OS → 64-bit Editor
  • 32-bit OS → 32-bit Editor

If you need access to both versions at the same time, please contact Foxit Support to explore available options.

• 32-bit plugins will not work with the 64-bit Editor.
• Some third-party plugins may not show compatibility warnings during installation.
• Foxit cannot support or modify third-party plugins, as they are developed externally.
