PDFBlackbox (VCL) 7.0

PDFBlackbox (VCL) 7.0 is a collection of native Delphi components for PDF security and compression support in your Delphi / C++Builder / FreePascal applications.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a format for presentation of text and graphic information, suitable for document distribution and printing. PDF format supports signing and encryption of the documents, which lets you secure the document and at the same time keep the PDF document accessible for PDF readers.

Why choose PDFBlackbox?

• PDFBlackbox focuses on document security, so you can use any tool for generation of the documents, leaving the security job to professionals;
• Timestamping is the vital part of the signing process, which certifies the moment, when the signature is made. With PDFBlackbox you can apply the timestamp when you sign the document;
• With PDFBlackbox you get not just signing and encryption, but complete support for cryptography operations, including advanced validation of the certificates using timestamps, certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and online validation protocol (OCSP);
• Certificate-based PDF security operations without certificate management are worth nothing. PDFBlackbox lets you create and manage X.509 certificates, certificate storages and CRLs;
• Free individual or public support is available from the very beginning of your evaluation and development

PDFBlackbox components are a clean-room implementation of PDF format specification, which dont use any third-party libraries for core functionality.
