Create and process PDF files with ease. Amyuni PDF Suite ActiveX provides all the functionalities and features of PDF Converter and PDF Creator in one product, for integration into the developer's application. PDF Converter is a tool that can be used to convert from existing documents from virtually any Windows application to PDF format. PDF Creator is designed to create new documents, forms and reports or edit documents already in PDF format.

PDF Suite is based on Amyuni's internal developments and does not rely on external libraries such as Ghostscript. Licensing and distribution are hassle-free and developers are not required to license any external technology in order to distribute these tools.
