JPedal Java PDF Library vs. Foxit PDF Editor

JPedal is a pure Java PDF library for extracting, manipulating, printing, rendering and viewing PDF files inside Java applications. It ships as a single JAR with no JNI, no native binaries and no third-party dependencies, and runs on any JVM (Java 17 and above), on-premises or in the cloud. IDRsolutions has developed it continuously since 1999, so it copes with malformed and legacy PDFs that break less mature libraries. Most integrations take two or three lines of code.

Founded in 2001, Foxit is a leading provider of innovative PDF and eSignature products and services, helping knowledge workers increase productivity and do more with documents. Foxit combines easy-to-use desktop software, mobile apps, and cloud services in one powerful solution: The Foxit PDF Editor. This intelligent document solution allows users to create, edit, fill, and sign documents through their integrated PDF Editor and eSign offerings – from anywhere and on any device.
