novaPDF (SDK) by Softland

novaPDF SDK is a PDF software development kit that software developers can use to add the ability to create PDF files in their own applications.

novaPDF SDK includes:
- a COM interface for customizing novaPDF options. Any option that can be configured in the novaPDF Printing Preferences dialog, can be also configured with the COM interface, including profiles management.
- a silent installer for novaPDF that can be distributed with your software. You can include this silent installer in your installation program and novaPDF will be installed with your customized options, without any user interaction.
- novaPDF SDK documentation.
- several code samples on how to use novaPDF SDK(samples available in C#, C++, Delphi, Ms Access, Visual Basic, VBNet).

novaPDF SDK installation process does not take much time. All you need to do is to follow the instructions of the "Setup - novaPDF SDK" wizard.

novaPDF SDK can be integrated both in server and desktop/client applications. For server applications there is no need to install novaPDF on the client machines.
All you need to do in your software is to check if the novaPDF is installed locally and if not to add a connection to the novaPDF on the printer server.

Being distributed as a COM object, novaPDF SDK can be integrated in any Windows application, no matter the language it is programmed in (C/C++/C#, Visual C, Visual Basic, VBNet, Delphi, .Net, ASP, ...). It requires about 6Mb of free space and works on Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista (32 and 64-bit).

By integrating novaPDF SDK in your application, you will be able to use all the features of a professional PDF printer driver:

PDF Security and Document Protection
You can secure your PDF documents by requiring others to enter a password in order to view or print the content of your document. Full 40-bit and 128-bit encryption is supported by novaPDF and the user is able to control whether the PDF can be viewed, printed, modified, copied or annotated.

Application Integration
novaPDF allows users to create PDF files from virtually every Windows application, accessing its functionality through a printer driver interface. Once novaPDF is installed as the default printer, you can simply click the "Print" button from any Windows application to have your PDF immediately created using novaPDF.
