  • Read and modify metadata such as TIFF tags and EXIF data.
Raster Formats:
  • Easily convert between raster image formats (TIFF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, GIF, PNG, etc.).
  • Quickly convert images into one format for consistent viewing.
  • Build applications to convert between formats, or to change bit depths, color palettes, and encoding options.
Vector Formats:
  • Read, render, and write vector files such as PDF, CAD, SVG, and XPS in their native formats.
  • Read DWG, DWF, and DXF files from AutoCAD 2.5 through 2007, and Write versions 12 through 2007.
  • Create applications that read, render, and write 3D wireframe objects.
Extensive PDF/PS Support:
  • Read, write, display, and edit PDF, PDF/A, PostScript, EPS, and U3D files.
  • Comprehensive PDF API built on Adobe® technology.
  • Read, modify, and write PDF annotations, bookmarks, and metadata.

  • Region of Interest (ROI) permits specification of an area to include or exclude from image processing.
  • Dither and Halftone methods optimize image size and quality.
Color Processing:
  • Advanced image processing methods, such as Adjust Brightness and Contrast, Automatic Tone and Gamma correction.
  • ICC color profiles allow accurate color display.
  • Pantone channels deliver spot color display and control.
  • Modify photos with Filters such as Sharpen, Smooth, and Edge detect.
