PDF Conversion SDK

Open and Edit PDF with 2 API Calls

Use the PDF Conversion SDK to import and edit PDF in your application. Proven over almost 30 years, it's used across all industries, platforms, and app types. We have customers using the PDF Conversion SDK to convert PDF to archival formats, SVG for the Web, DWG and DXF for engineering apps, and WMF for Windows apps like Visio and PowerPoint. If that's not enough, it also extracts text, with to without precision placement. Works seamlessly with our PDF Objects SDK and PDF Creation SDK.

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 your app.

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 SDK

You can extend the PDF Conversion SDK by adding the PDF Objects SDK. This SDK 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.

SDK or Command-Line.

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

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)
