Try it for yourself

Laptop

Enhance your .NET/C# application with PDF Xpress.

With our PDF library SDK, users can create, edit, render, extract, save, and compress documents. PDF Xpress enables lossless compression to reduce file size without sacrificing render quality, allowing users to email files with ease. This is ideal for environments where multiple, large files are frequently emailed.  

 

PDF Xpress Features

Gain a broad range of PDF features including file creation, editing, text and image extraction, and standard PDF security in your current application.

Simple to Implement

PDF Xpress has concise code that enables fast, simple customization of your current application. Our .NET PDF library SDK comes with C# and VB sample code to quickly integrate with your Windows application (eg. WPF, ASP.NET, Winforms).

 

Break Out and Manipulate Pages

With PDF Xpress, you can break open the PDF page structure so you can add, delete, rotate, and rearrange elements on the page. With these functions, users are able to:

  • Extract specific pages.
  • Easily add, move, and delete pages or groups of pages.
  • Rotate pages.
  • Create a new PDF from extracted pages.
  • Insert and reorder pages.
  • Merge or split PDF files.

 

Create and Edit PDF and PDF/A

Generate new PDF files from text and images and edit existing PDFs. Create PDF/A-1b archive files. Add images from numerous image formats including:

  • TIFF
  • JBIG2
  • PNG
  • JPEG
  • JPEG 2000
  • GIF
  • BMP
  • RAW

 

Powerful Compression

Applications built with PDF Xpress can make PDF files dramatically smaller for fast display and efficient archival. Compress an existing PDF document by as much as 96% and easily control compression settings to balance file size and quality. Apply PDF linearization, which dramatically speeds up PDF display on the web.

Permissions include:

  • Modifying the document.
  • Adding or modifying text annotations.
  • Copying or extracting text and graphics from the document.
  • Assembling the document by inserting, rotating, or deleting pages, and creating bookmarks or thumbnail images.
  • Filling in interactive form fields, like signature fields.
  • Printing the document.

Encryption methods include:

  • 40-bit RC4, Acrobat 3 and later.
  • 128-bit RC4, Acrobat 5 and later.
  • 128-bit RC4, Acrobat 6 and later.

PDF Xpress gives your applications control of the PDF rendering process to optimize viewing, printing, and conversion. This toolkit enables rendering:

  • Bitmap, DIB, EPS, RAW, or Device Context.
  • PDF annotations.
  • Large pages to higher resolution for detailed viewing.
  • Copy-protected PDFs that block content copying.

 

Extract Text and Images from PDFs

PDF Xpress makes it easy for users to extract any and all image files from an existing PDF for other uses. Access the uncompressed image data and easily pass it to other Accusoft components. You can even search for and highlight text within a PDF document.
