PDFlib is a component that allows you to programmatically create PDF files from within your own server-side or client-side software.

It offers a variety of functions including a table formatter, PDF/A output for longtime archiving, AES encryption, integrated pCOS analyzing tools and a optimization mode for input PDFs.
