PDFNet SDK for C++ 3.16

PDFNet SDK is a high-quality, industry-strength PDF library meeting requirements of the most demanding and diverse applications. Using PDFNet you can write stand-alone, cross-platform and reliable commercial applications that can read, write, and edit PDF documents.
PDFNet SDK is available for a wide range of platforms (e.g. Windows, Mac, Linux) and programming environments (C/C++, C#, VB, J#, and other .Net languages).
Main features:
Read, Write and Edit PDF - All in One Package
- Read PDF in order to extract text, images, and graphics.
- Export PDF with access to full PDF imaging model (e.g. embed fonts, ICC profiles and color spaces), encryption and optimization options.
- Edit PDF documents (see below for a more complete list of editing capabilities).
- The combination of read/write/edit functionality means that the single library will be able to address any future PDF functionality your product may require.
Editing Functionality
- Industry-strength PDF editing is much more than a simple read/write operation. PDFNet offers an extensive API that makes the editing process as transparent and efficient as possible.
- Using PDFNet it is easy to edit document security settings, bookmarks, hyperlinks, and structure information. There are interfaces to add, remove or copy pages; edit page display list or edit individual graphical elements on the page.
- Besides access to a high-level document, PDFNet offers an easy-to-use API for low-level (or Cos based) PDF editing. The high-level API does not restrict your application since users may replace or write completely new high-level functionality on top of the low-level interface.
- PDFNet keeps track of modified objects and can save only the objects that were directly or indirectly modified. This feature can be used for fast document save or undo/redo mechanism.
PDF Rasterization, Viewing, and Printing.
- Using PDFNet, client applications can take advantage of interactive PDF display, while server-based applications can generate images and thumbnails on the fly.
Encryption
- PDFNet supports both standard 40 and 128 bit PDF security (and custom security mechanisms through extensions).
- Apply specific encryption scheme on new documents or edit permissions and security settings on already encrypted documents.
Efficiency
- PDFNet was designed from ground up with high throughput and concurrent applications in mind.
- For speedy document reading PDFNet uses incremental object loading and caching mechanisms. Caching is used at different levels: from Cos based object caching to more sophisticated color-space, font and glyph caching.
- The library supports incremental save for quick document persistence.
Reliability & Robustness
- PDFNet SDK allows users to automatically conform to the highest PDF Language Standard through frequent upgrades and to consistently provide desired output types.
- Predictable behavior and regular regression tests on thousands of documents set high standards for reliability and robustness.
- Native code efficiency coupled with high security and reliability make PDFNet an ideal server component and an integral part of dynamic PDF websites and web-applications.
Languages and Supported Platforms
- PDFNet SDK hides much of its complexity behind an elegant and easy-to-use interface that can be uniformly accessed from various languages.
- Standard patterns such as iterators and visitors can be used to traverse and manipulate page sequences, display lists, etc.
- PDFNet SDK is available as a C++ library. Currently supported platforms are Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Because PDFNet is written in a portable subset of ANSI C++, the library porting is a painless process.
- PDFNet SDK is also available as a .Net component. Using a .Net component the same API is available in C#, Java, Visual Basic (VB.NET), Managed C++ and any other .Net language.
