PDFlib by PDFlib

Generate PDF documents on-the-fly. PDFlib is a component that allows you to programmatically create PDF files from within your own server-side or client-side software. PDFlib doesn't make use of third-party software for generating PDFs, nor does it require any other tools. PDFlib is available for all major operating systems and development environments. It offers a variety of new and improved functions, including a new table formatter, PDF/A output for longtime archiving, AES encryption, integrated pCOS analyzing tools, a repair and optimization mode for input PDFs, and numerous other new features.

Overview

PDFlib makes PDF generation possible without wading through the PDF specification. While PDFlib tries to hide technical PDF details from the user, a general understanding of PDF is useful. In order to make the best use of PDFlib, application programmers should ideally be familiar with the basic graphics model of PostScript (and therefore PDF). However, a reasonably experienced application programmer who has dealt with any graphics API for screen display or printing shouldn’t have much trouble adapting to the PDFlib API as described in the PDFlib manual.

Server Deployment: PDFlib is thread-safe, i.e. it can safely be used in multi-threaded server applications. The COM edition is both-threaded for improved performance. C or C++ library clients can install their own memory management and error handling routines. PDFlib's memory management has been rigorously engineered and tested for memory leaks in order to guarantee 24-hour deployment without any shutdown periods.

Features

PDFlib is a library which allows you to generate files in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF). PDFlib acts as a backend to your own programs

PDFlib doesn't make use of third-party software for generating PDF, nor does it require any other tools. PDFlib is available for all major operating environments and development environments

PDFlib offers many useful functions for creating text, graphics, images, and hypertext elements in PDF

A PDFlib program can be used for dynamically generating PDF – reflecting user input or dynamic data retrieved from web or database servers. The optional add-on PDF Import Library (PDI) can be used to integrate pages from existing PDF documents into the generated output. With the PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS) as further add-on, server side personalization of PDF files becomes possible

With the programmer only being responsible for producing the data from whatever source, PDFlib takes the task of generating the PDF code which visually represents the data

PDFlib can generate PDF data directly in memory (instead of on file), resulting in better performance and avoiding the need for temporary files, thus being the fastest PDF-generating method

What's New in V7.0?

A New Table formatter - automatically places rows and columns according to user preferences, and splits tables across multiple columns or pages

Textflow enhancements

Links and other interactive elements can automatically be created from text fragments in a Textflow

Space for images can be reserved in a text column

The Textflow formatter supports leaders,e.g. repeated dots between an entry in a table of contents and the corresponding page number

Text contents and formatting options can be supplied separately to the Textflow engine in an arbitrary number of steps. This eliminates the need for creating a buffer containing the full text along with inline formatting options

Character classes for formatting decisions can now be redefined, e.g. specify whether the »/« character will be treated as a letter or punctuation in formatting decisions

Other formatting features

Decimal tabs and leader characters are supported in single-line text (in addition to multi-line Textflows)

A new stamp function calculates optimized size and position for text stamps across a rectangle

Improved query functions for text geometry
