Walks through installing the U3DBrowserEditor add-on for compatibility with Foxit PDF Editor and Reader version 13 (2023) and later.
Answer
Support for Foxit PDF Editor v11 and v12 has been discontinued as of August 13, 2025. Upgrade to v14 to continue receiving support.
Question: How do I install the U3DBrowserEditor add-on to make it compatible with Foxit Editor Pro 13.x/Foxit PDF Editor 2023.x and above? The latest 3D plugin version I found in Foxit download center is 11.2.1.53529. Is there a newer version available? If not, is 11.2.1.53529 compatible with Foxit Editor Pro 13.x/Foxit PDF Editor 2023.x and above?
Answer: Starting with Foxit PDF Editor/Reader v12.x and V2023.x, we have transitioned to our own internally developed 3D engine, replacing the previously used third-party engine. With this change, from version 12 onwards, the 3D engine is included by default in the software installation, eliminating the need for a separate 3D plugin. Therefore, the previous 3D plugin version 11.2.1.53529 is only compatible with the v11.x series of Foxit PDF Editor/Reader. For users of Foxit PDF Editor/Reader v12 and above, including Foxit Editor Pro 13.x and Foxit PDF Editor 2023.x and beyond, the 3D engine is integrated by default, and there is no need for a separate installation of the 3D plugin.
