PDF Support for ImageGear Professional

ImageGear provides low-level access to the PDF libraries. Easily integrate PDF into your imaging applications. Automatically conform to the PDF (Portable Document Format) Language Standard, as well as open and process PostScript (PS) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.

Quickly add annotations to a PDF document. Annotation marks include text, line, freehand polyline, rectangle, ellipse, polygon, polyline, audio, image, ruler, protractor, encryption, button, hot spot, and rich text. This version also includes the ability to import and export these marks to XML files. The application developer has the flexibility to embed a subset of these annotation types into the PDF file as true Adobe annotations or to save them in a separate file.
