manipulation task can be automated through Toolkit's robust API.
With activePDF Toolkit you can:
PDF Form Filling
With Toolkit's form-filling capabilities, you can
dynamically populate PDF forms with
data and images from a database, allow users using only Adobe® Reader
to fill-in and save forms, use PDF forms as document templates to precisely
control image placement and resizing, and more. Using Toolkit's form-flattening
feature, you can remove the bloat from your forms - fields are stripped out and
content is left behind dramatically reducing file size for efficient storage.
Dynamic PDF
Generation
Toolkit's TextToPDF method enables you to quickly convert
data from your application into a portable, secure PDF
document.
Using a few SQL queries, you can generate complicated reports that can be
distributed to enterprise users, or populate prepared PDF templates to create
labels, business cards, mass mailings and more.
Merging and
Extracting
activePDF Toolkit allows you to combine two or more PDF
files, resulting in a single, navigable file (complete with
bookmarks!) that can be easily distributed to end users. You can also append and
extract PDF pages
, even in memory, enabling you to create customized reports and other
business documents on the fly and without user intervention.
Stamping Text and
Images
Support business rules by stamping text
into your PDF documents,
using any font available on your server, at any size or color, in any degree of
rotation. Toolkit's text width calculation routines make text placement exact,
allowing you to automatically apply standard text such as page numbers, headers
and footers, or watermarks to a single page, range of pages or entire documents.
Toolkit Professional
includes comprehensive image stamping with native support for over 40 image
types, allowing for precise placement of logos, images, or electronically
represented signatures. For example, watermarking can be used to automatically
stamp highly sensitive documents with a ‘Confidential’ label, while a signature
stamp can be applied to approved documents as they pass through a workflow
milestone.
Stitching PDFs
activePDF Toolkit's
stitching technology allows you to import one or more PDF documents, combining
them into a single PDF page. Previously labor-intensive applications, such as
newsletters or classified advertisements, are streamlined with this feature.
PDF Security
Toolkit allows you to encrypt and decrypt files with a
simple API call. The first server-based product to support
native 40 and 128 bit encryption, activePDF Toolkit enables you to password
protect PDF files, disable
end-user printing, prevent copying of text and graphics, and more.
Additionally, Toolkit's unique fingerprint technology allows you to verify
document integrity, providing built-in support for enforcing business rules.
Linearization
Also known as Web optimization, linearization is the process
of preparing a large PDF document for byte-serving over the Web. Byte-serving
allows an individual page to be loaded instantly while remaining pages are
loaded silently in the background, instead of forcing the user to wait while for
the entire document to stream to the browser before viewing its contents.
