activePDF offers a host of developer resources that will help you with your PDF development and deployment within the enterprise.

The majority of activePDF solutions have been developed specifically for software developers and so we understand your individual requirements for PDF development and deployment within the enterprise. All of activePDF server-based products offer a COM interface for easy integration with existing applications.

"activePDF undoubtedly saved us over six months of development time."

Integrate PDF Generation with existing applications

Add PDF Conversion Functionality to any Application with activePDF Server

 

activePDF Server provides itself as a multithreaded PDF Print Driver controlled via a COM Interface. Virtually any application that can print can be turned into a PDF generating application. activePDF Server has been used to create PDFs from many popular applications such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access, Visual FoxPro, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic, AutoCAD, and even the GDI+ library of .NET.

Dynamically Convert 280+ file formats to PDF

Create robust PDF Conversion Solutions using activePDF DocConverter

 

activePDF DocConverter is a powerful server-sided document converter that can work across a network using the DocConverter remote OCX. This OCX can be distributed within any application that is deployed in an intranet environment to provide submission to the centralized DocConverter Server. The converted documents can then be transferred back to the client. DocConverter also provides a powerful scanned-directory interface that can pick up a document upon its placement into a defined directory. This directory can also be tied to a “script to execute upon completion”, allowing the conversion status to be verified using DocConverter “intrinsic variables” allowing for emailing of the converted PDF documents or even placing them into a database for storage.

activePDF WebGrabber is a scalable server-sided HTML to PDF tool providing conversion of HTML files, URLs, and HTML Streams. With WebGrabber, PDF reports can be created easily by passing post data and query strings to dynamic pages. These pages can even be located behind SSL or Basic Authentication. More info...

Automatically redirect PDF output to any printer on your network

Silent Browser-based PDF Printing using activePDF PDFPrint

PDFPrint is a client-side plug-in that invokes the Adobe® Reader installed on a client’s machine, automating the printing of web accessible PDFs to the client’s physical printer. The plug-in needs to be installed on the client machine and is invoked through an embed tag within the browser. The embed tag can receive parameters allowing multiple PDFs to be printed, browser redirection, Adobe Reader to run interactively or silently, or change the default printer prior to a multiple job submission. PDFPrint is typically used in an environment where it is not desired to allow the user control over the printing process. More info...
