A PDF Component by activePDF

PDF Form Filling
With Toolkit's form-filling capabilities, you can dynamically populate PDF forms with data and images from a database, allow users using only Adobe Reader to fill-in and save forms, use PDF forms as document templates to precisely control image placement and resizing, and more. Using Toolkit's form-flattening feature, you can remove the bloat from your forms ? fields are stripped out and content is left behind ? dramatically reducing file size for efficient storage.

Dynamic PDF Generation
Toolkit's TextToPDF method enables you to quickly convert data from your application into a portable, secure PDF document. Using a few SQL queries, you can generate complicated reports that can be distributed to enterprise users, or populate prepared PDF templates to create labels, business cards, mass mailings and more.

Merging and Extracting
activePDF Toolkit allows you to combine two or more PDF files, resulting in a single, navigable file (complete with bookmarks!) that can be easily distributed to end users. You can also append and extract PDF pages, even in memory, enabling you to create customized reports and other business documents on the fly and without user intervention!

Stamping Text and Images
Support business rules by stamping text into your PDF documents, using any font available on your server, at any size or color, in any degree of rotation. Toolkit's text width calculation routines make text placement exact, allowing you to automatically apply standard text such as page numbers, headers and footers, or watermarks to a single page, range of pages or entire documents.

Toolkit Professional includes comprehensive image stamping with native support for over 40 image types, allowing for precise placement of logos, images, or electronically represented signatures. For example, watermarking can be used to automatically stamp highly sensitive documents with a ?Confidential? label, while a signature stamp can be applied to approved documents as they pass through a workflow milestone.

Stitching PDFs
activePDF Toolkit's stitching technology allows you to import one or more PDF documents, combining them into a single PDF page. Previously labor-intensive applications, such as newsletters or classified advertisements, are streamlined with this feature.

PDF Security
Toolkit allows you to encrypt and decrypt files with a simple API call. The first server-based product to support native 40 and 128 bit encryption, activePDF Toolkit enables you to password protect PDF files, disable end-user printing, prevent copying of text and graphics, and more. Additionally, Toolkit's unique fingerprint technology allows you to verify document integrity, providing built-in support for enforcing business rules.

Linearization
Also known as web optimization, linearization is the process of preparing a large PDF document for byte-serving over the web. Byte-serving allows an individual page to be loaded instantly while remaining pages are loaded silently in the background, instead of forcing the user to wait while for the entire document to stream to the browser before viewing its contents.
