FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 20, 2012) - Foxit® Corporation, an Amazon-invested leading software provider of solutions for reading, editing, creating, organizing, and securing PDF documents, today announced that the company will optimize its PDF product lines for the upcoming release of Microsoft® Surface tablets. Foxit, a major vendor in the PDF industry, has supported major Windows® software platforms in the past and will continue to support Microsoft on this new integrated hardware and software platform.
Foxit believes the two new tablets will be strong platforms for both enterprise and consumer customers worldwide.

Conversion from PDF to Microsoft® Office® and other file formats allows users to easily share PDF content with other applications.
