DevExpress PDF Document API for .NET
DevExpress PDF Document API for .NET is a non-visual .NET library for working with PDF files in application code. It supports document generation, editing, conversion, merging, splitting, protection, digital signatures, printing, and content extraction, which makes it suitable for document workflows in business, reporting, and data-driven solutions.

PDF Document Generation

This library creates PDF documents from scratch in code and gives developers control over document layout.

Page Management and Organization

It manages document structure at the page level, including adding, removing, copying, rotating, and transforming pages.

Document Merging and Splitting

The API combines multiple files into a single PDF and supports splitting document content into separate parts.

Graphics and Custom Content

It adds custom graphic content to PDF pages through the PDF Graphics API.

Interactive Form Processing

The library works with fillable PDF forms, also known as AcroForms. It can create, fill, flatten, and delete forms, edit field properties, and import or export field data.

Bookmarks, Links, and Attachments

It adds supporting document elements such as bookmarks, hyperlinks, file attachments, annotations, metadata, and optional content layers.

Annotations and Review Content

The API creates, edits, flattens, and removes text annotations and text markup annotations. It also supports comments and review-related content.

Document Security and Signing

It protects PDF files with encryption, user and owner passwords, and permission settings for actions such as copying, editing, and printing. The library also supports digital signatures, signature appearance settings, timestamps, and deferred signing.

Printing and Image Export

The library prints PDF documents and lets developers define print-related settings such as orientation, paper size, and margins. It also exports PDF files to bitmap and multi-page TIFF formats.

Text, Image, and Search Extraction

It retrieves document content through text extraction, image extraction, and text search. Developers can extract text from pages or regions, export images to common formats, and search documents for words or phrases with configurable search behavior.
