Features

Developers who use the PDF Library from Datalogics benefit from the years of Adobe expertise invested in building the Adobe PDF Library, and benefit from the following:

Forward- and backward-compatibility
Access to the Adobe Color Engine (ACE)
Language interfaces for C/C++, .NET and Java
Unicode/Double Byte Support
Optimization, Compression and Linearization
Extensive Font Support

Forward- and backward-compatibility

The PDF Library is updated each time Adobe releases a new version of Acrobat, ensuring compatibility with the PDF Standard as it continues to evolve. And, just as current versions of Acrobat and Reader can open older PDF files, your PDF Library-enabled application can provide similar support.

Access to the Adobe Color Engine (ACE)

PDF Library-enabled applications can manage color using ACE, the same color module that's used in Acrobat.

Language interfaces for C/C++, .NET and Java

Language interfaces are provided for C/C++, .NET and Java.

Unicode/Double Byte Support

Support complex character sets, right-to-left reading order and other complexities of non-English language PDFs.

Optimization, Compression and Linearization

Optimize PDFs that you create or that you process using the same techniques found in Acrobat.

Extensive Font Support

Embed and subset fonts, including Unicode fonts. Obtain detailed information about font/character usage within PDFs. An optional package of redistributable fonts (corresponding to the Adobe base 35 fonts) is available to ease the migration from other third-party libraries.

The features and capabilities of the PDF Library are extensive; and these capabilities continue to grow through regular updates to the API. In addition to the Adobe PDF Library API, other toolkits, such as Adobe Normalizer, are available to provide additional functionality.

If you have questions about whether the PDF Library is appropriate for your application, contact us and one of our Account Representatives can follow up with you directly.
