The invention provides a method for preparing cefixime, which belongs to the medicine synthesis technical field and comprises the steps of preparation of 7-AVCA, preparation of cefixime methyl ester, preparation of the cefixime and so on. The method aims at the prior amino de-protection to make an improvement, and uses penicillin acylase to substitute trifluoroacetic acid and so on in the prior process to ensure that an amino de-protection reaction is greatly improved, the use of organic solvents can be completely avoided, and acylase can also be reused at the same time. Methylene dichloride and tetrahydrofuran solvents in the prior process are substituted by adopting alcohol, ketone or ester solvents, so that an amidation reaction is greatly improved, which ensures that reaction solvents are easy to recover and reuse, can reduce production cost, reduce the discharge of waste liquid, reduce the pollution to the environment, can completely recover a byproduct, namely mercaptobenzothiazole produced by the reaction, improve the atom utilization rate of reaction raw-materials, and greatly improve the hydrolyzation and crystallization of subsequent products and the quality of a finished product.
