Part of
the server-based suite of products offered by activePDF, WebGrabber allows you
to dynamically convert any URL, HTML stream, or HTML file to PDF on the fly,
while maintaining embedded styles. With activePDF WebGrabber, you
can:
HTML from any
source
Whether processing CGI scripts, ASP, JSP, or plain HTML, it makes
no difference; activePDF WebGrabber handles them all. With WebGrabber, you can
load HTML content from URLs, disk or even memory. You can also access secure
sites with basic authentication or, with the IE interface, access data using
integrated Windows® NTLM authorization. Support for SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
is included with the IE interface, so sensitive data can be accessed with peace
of mind.
Support for web
standards
WebGrabber is the only server-side
HTML to PDF converter that supports HTML 3.2, HTML 4.0, CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets), Java applets, Flash images, and even activeX controls. Proxy server
support is also included, making it possible for you to access data from behind
your firewall.
PDF Layout
Control
activePDF WebGrabber is the only
product that supports page breaks so that your web-based reports look exactly
the way you want. Whether it's embedded HTML or an entire URL, activePDF
WebGrabber's dynamic header and footer support can help turn your existing web
application into a PDF reporting engine. And, with WebGrabber's built-in page
numbering capabilities, you can virtually guarantee your users won't get lost in
large, complex reports.
Easy to
Implement
activePDF WebGrabber is COM enabled,
making integration with your existing application as simple as a single method
call. With a few lines of code you can define a URL along with optional post
data or a query string and WebGrabber will convert your data to PDF in seconds.
Virtually anything that can be viewed in the browser can be converted to PDF,
independent of the server side rendering language.
Server
Integration
activePDF
WebGrabber is tightly coupled with activePDF Server, so you can leverage
server-based performance, robust PDF output options, and other features such as
native PDF encryption and linearization.
PDF files generated
using activePDF WebGrabber can subsequently be used with any other third-party
PDF tools.
