What it is

Foxit Document Generation API creates PDFs and Word documents from DOCX templates and structured data through a cloud API. It is designed to automate document workflows, including producing invoices, contracts, and compliance reports using ERP, CRM, or HR data. The Analyze Document API can inspect a DOCX template and return its embedded tokens and types. The service can integrate into business systems, although Foxit does not name specific Document Generation connectors. Each generation operation uses one credit, shared across Foxit APIs; credit-based calls stop when the balance runs out until credits renew or the plan is upgraded, and unused credits do not roll over. The Developer plan is free and includes 500 shared credits per year; Startup costs $1,750 a year and includes 5,000 shared credits. Foxit states that API traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher and stored documents use AES-256 encryption. It also says its cloud-hosted PDF APIs have SOC 2 Type II coverage and support HIPAA-related BAAs and features.
