About LEADTOOLS PDF Pro

Read, write, view and edit PDF files.

LEADTOOLS PDF Pro provides PDF APIs to read, write, raster-view, and update PDF files on all major platforms. With the PDF Pro toolkit, developers can extract text, images, hyperlinks, and metadata from PDF files. The SDK also provides complete control of pages in existing PDF documents. Conversion to PDF/A documents that are ready for archival can be done in a few lines of code. Additionally, with the included LEADTOOLS PDF Optimizer, PDF files can be made web-ready with linearization and compression. LEADTOOLS PDF Pro includes all features of Imaging Pro, such as 165+ formats, compression, image processing, viewers, TWAIN and WIA scanning, and more. This combination of PDF and imaging features makes the LEADTOOLS PDF Pro an extreme value.
