PDF Conversion SDK Features

• Power PDF Server Applications and Services - Use it for powerful, automated document conversion, archival, and delivery solutions. Multiplatform, supports .NET (C# & VB), Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon - M1/M2) and Linux.
• Compensates for Format Differences - The PDF Conversion API compensates for deficiencies in the output compared to PDF. This includes adding cropping, fills, color mananegent and fonts. Produces optimal output with speed and accuracy.
• PDF Layer Access - The PDF Conversion SDK can act on layers in PDF files. Work with layers based on PDF file definitions, colors, line-weights and other combinations. PDF layers are also known as Optional Content Groups or OCGs.
• Supports Vector and Raster Formats - The PDF Conversion SDK outputs both raster and vector format, all with top quality. This flexibility makes it the ideal solution for CMS and ECM, archival, and legacy systems.
• Direct Conversion - The PDF Conversion Server does not use printer drivers or other intermediate steps. Direct conversion ensures that objects, text and file attributes are intact and optimized. This includes vector graphics, raster images, text and font information, hyperlinks, and metadata.
• Universal File Conversion - The PDF Conversion API converts all PDF versions. Any document that is print-ready in memory or is already a PDF is valid input. This includes documents generated by the XPS printer driver on Windows.
• Optimize PDF - The PDF Conversion SDK removes redundant information & compresses data. This ensures great performance for fast web and application viewing.
• Security Assured - The PDF Conversion API supports password protected files. Access this feature to ensure your project's security.
• Accurate, Reliable and High Performance - The PDF Conversion engine handles serious throughput without blinking. Run large files (1GB+) or high volume (1M+ files/day) through the engine without worry.
• Client, Server or Web - The PDF Conversion API works wherever you need it to. It's also multiplatform. Use it across Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
• Use via API or Command-Line - The PDF Conversion SDK supports library calls from a variety of development platforms. You can also access it via command-line for high-volume server environments.

Format Specific Notes

• CAD SDK - Use the PDF Conversion SDK to add PDF Import/Edit features into your application. With two library calls and some configuration, your application can open PDF files in DWG, DXF or HPGL. Our PDF API is a great way to quickly add a valuable feature that users expect in today's applications.
• PDF to SVG for the Web - SVG is the W3C Web standard for vector graphics. It's also integrated into popular Microsoft and Adobe applications as a native format. Device independence is one reason for this. SVG looks great at any size on any device. The PDFConversion SDK generates SVG files true to the original layout. All hyperlinks, colors, images, and fonts and present.
• PDF to Image - Convert PDF pages or extract elements and save them as PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, and RAW files. Supports advanced features like transparency, blending, spot colors, and custom color profiles.
• PDF to Text - Extract text and tables from any PDF document in Unicode or ISO text formats. Generate abstracts, strip text while retaining placement. Working with text in PDF files is one of the strengths of the PDF Conversion SDK.
