Ah, competition for Adobe. And finding good, small application for AI beyond all the hype we hear. Foxit has upgraded its AI Assistant within the Foxit PDF Editor.
The enhanced AI Assistant includes features such as chat with image, multiple document analysis, automatic bookmarking, and additional read-aloud options. A new tab in the ribbon toolbar also provides users with streamlined access to the powerful suite of AI-driven tools designed to simplify and supercharge document management workflows.
The dedicated ribbon tab refers to a specific, clearly labeled section within the top toolbar (aka the “ribbon”) of the Foxit PDF Editor interface that is solely focused on AI tools. Think of the ribbon as the strip of tabs at the top of applications like Microsoft Word or Excel – where you see tabs like “Home,” “Insert,” “Review,” etc. A dedicated ribbon tab means Foxit has created a new, standalone tab specifically for its AI Assistant, placing AI-related tools – like AI Chat, Document Translation, and AI Bookmark – in one easily accessible spot. This kind of integration signals a shift from AI being a hidden or secondary feature to becoming a core part of the user interface and user workflow.
