PDFNet

PDFNet SDK is the ultimate PDF toolkit.

With PDFNet components you can build reliable & speedy applications that can view, create, print, edit, and annotate PDFs ... across operating systems.

Developers use PDFNet SDK to read, write, and edit PDF documents compatible with all published versions of PDF specification (including the latest ISO32000-2). The extensive PDF library API supports most common use-case scenarios such as:

•    PDF Viewing & Collaboration
  

•    PDF Rasterization
  

•    PDF Printing
  

•    PDF Form filling and flattening
  

•    PDF Split & Merge
  

•    PDF Stamping
  

•    Dynamic PDF generation (e.g. FlowDocument & Xaml to PDF)
  

•    PDF Text extraction and indexing
  

•    PDF Packages
  

•    PDF Layers (OCGs)
  

•    PDF Editing
  

•    PDF Encryption
  

•    Manipulate PDF bookmarks, links, and annotations.
  

•    PDF Optimization
  

•    PDF conversion to XML, HTML, XPS, SVG, TIF, etc.
  

•    PDF/A Validation and Conversion
  

•    PDF Redaction
  

•    PDF Conversion from XPS, MS Office, HTML, XAML, TXT, TIFF etc.
  

•    HTML to PDF Conversion
  

*********************************** Quick Start ***********************************

Add the following line of code to your Program.cs, or similar file.

private static pdftron.PDFNetLoader loader = pdftron.PDFNetLoader.Instance();

This static initialization must occur before any call to PDFNet, so that the correct PDFNet library (x86 or x64) will be loaded. This is not required if you are targeting x86 or x64 platforms, but is very helpful if you are targeting AnyCPU platform.

Next, add the following code somewhere that will ensure it will be called before any other calls to PDFNet.

pdftron.PDFNet.Initialize();

You are now ready to use PDFNet, see the Getting Started Guides below, or head straight to the samples page. https://docs.apryse.com/core/guides/get-started/dotnet

************************************ Important ************************************

The PDFNet SDK relies on the Microsoft VC++ Redistributables. These are included when you install Visual Studio, but may not be present on target machines when redistributing your application.
