Add PDF Import/Edit. Extract Data.

The Best Cross Platform PDF Conversion SDK and the Easiest to Integrate

Add PDF Support in One Day

All that's needed is two API calls and a configuration file. Within a day, you can add, open, import, edit and view PDF features in any application or service.

Compensate for Differences

When formats don't match one-to-one, the SDK neutralizes the differences. This includes adding cropping, fills, color mananegent and fonts.

Universal PDF Conversion

The PDF Conversion SDK processes all PDF versions including ISO Standard PDF 2.0. Any PDF from file or print-ready memory is valid input.

No Intermediate Steps

Conversions flow straight through without intermediate steps or compromised quality. No printer driver.

Muliplatform Power

The PDF Conversion SDK runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It supports .NET. Example code included.

Optimize PDF

Removes redundant information & compresses data. This ensures great performance for fast web and application viewing.

Extendable API

You can extend the PDF Conversion SDK by adding the PDF Custom SDK. This API adds access to all object data and text, ready for modification.

Processes All Elements

All objects, text and file attributes convert. This includes vector graphics, layers, raster images, text, font information, hyperlinks, and metadata. Extract text and data.

API or Command-Line.

API supports .Net and command-line. Ideal for desktop, server, cloud-based applications, web services and automated workflows

Pricing and Licensing

Pricing for the PDF Conversion SDK is based on use type and it’s licensed per project. Once we know about your project, we can let you know which price band you fit into. The factors affecting price include:

  • Are you developing an end-user application, server application or cloud-based service?
  • Is your project for internal use or will it be sold commercially?
  • If it’s a server application, will the throughput be <10,000 pages per year, <100,000 pages per year or significantly more than this?
  • If you are making a commercial application, will it be sold to < 50 users or more that 50 users?

Annual SDK Subscription

The Annual SDK Subscription includes an always-current SDK license, unlimited developer licenses for your team, priority support, more flexible distribution and portal access to download updates and new versions on-demand. The subscription must be maintained for the life of the project.

Perpetual License

Choose the perpetual SDK license if you plan to integrate our technology into an internal application or service with limited distribution. Advantage Support is optional but highly recommended to receive updates, support and changes to file formats.

    Extract text, tables and data from any PDF document in Unicode or ISO formats. Generate abstracts, strip text while retaining placement.

Simple SDK Integration Config & Two API Calls

Included in the SDK are header and lib files for the conversion libraries, font directory, batch programs, documentation, sample source code projects for Visual C++ , C# and Basic (Other interfaces available upon request).

Select your Configuration Settings

Use VgPsLoadOptions() to load your configuration file. An example is:

VgPsLoadOptions (PDF2XXX, %INSTALLDIR%pdf2xxx.ini);

Call the API

VgPsConvert is the main function to convert a PDF, PostScript or EPS file into one of the vector output formats. For example, to convert foo.pdf into an SVG file, you would use:

VgPsConvert("foo.pdf", "foo.svg", SVG, NULL)
