Summary

PDFXpress Professional by Pegasus Imaging Corporation

Build applications to create and view PDF files. PDFXpress Professional expands on the features delivered within the original Reader edition. It delivers both read and write support. PDFXpress Reader is offered for those requiring only PDF viewing capability. Both editions read Native PDF, Post Script-based PDF, bitonal and color image files. Pegasus Imaging's ImagXpress toolkit is used to support additional file format conversion and compression beyond PDF. PDFXpress Reader is delivered as both a Microsoft .NET component and COM control. It offers full read support of all PDF formats, built using Adobe 3 technology. PDFXpress reads all PDF files that Adobe supports.

What's New in V2.0:

The PDF Xpress v2 Software Development Kit (SDK) offers expanded capabilities to access and modify content within PDF documents. PDF Xpress empowers developers requiring PDF support within applications, and is delivered as both a .NET component and an ActiveX COM control.

PDF Xpress provides technology to software engineers building applications for creation, modification, and viewing of PDF files. Software engineers may extract text from PDF files, and use PDF Xpress v2 features to return the location and context of text search results. Annotations, bookmarks, thumbnails, and metadata can also be added, modified, or deleted. New page insert and move options offer PDF Xpress v2 users the flexibility to repurpose and reconfigure PDF documents – merging multiple PDFs or splitting a single PDF into multiple documents. Optimized rasterization enables high resolution display of large images, such as engineering drawings. Seamless interaction with PDF Xpress v2 is facilitated by new read-from-memory and write-to-memory support. By using PDF Xpress v2 in conjunction with other Pegasus Imaging components, developers can write applications to create highly compressed image-only or image-over-text PDF documents, and enable end users to view and modify PDF files.

PDF Xpress v2 Professional includes the following new capabilities:

Upgraded PDF support, taking advantage of many performance improvements and enhancements

PDF v1.6 document creation

Text extraction and use of PDF Xpress features to return location and context of text search results. (Extract text from Normal or Searchable Image PDFs then identify text matches using any desired technique. PDF Xpress will provide the context and location of the match phrase.)

Searchable Image (Image with Hidden Text) PDF Creation - using OCR Xpress with PDF Xpress sample code (PDF Xpress v2 provides the ability to construct an image-over-text PDF, using text output from OCR Xpress, and the associated image compressed by ImagXpress. This enables the developer to create highly compressed image-over-text PDFs, with searchable text.)

PDF Document Load From Memory & Save To Memory - without the need to store as a file

Page Insertion – Insert a page or range of pages from one PDF document into another (this capability can be used to merge multiple PDFs into one PDF or split one PDF into multiple PDFs)

Page Move – Move a page from one location to another in a PDF document

PDF Annotations Export to XFDF (XML) – Express annotations from the PDF document as XML data

PDF Annotations Import from XFDF (XML) – Create, modify, and delete PDF annotations using XML data

Thumbnail Delete – Delete a thumbnail in a PDF document, in addition to create and replace

Bookmark Modify & Delete – Modify and delete bookmarks in a PDF document, in addition to read and add

Document Metadata Read, Modify, & Write

Large File Optimized Rasterization (i.e. for display of large engineering drawings)
