PDFPortable Document Format

PDF support is included with the LEADTOOLS PDF Plug-in which is an add-on module for all LEADTOOLS Toolkits* and extends support for PDF, Postscript, and EPS formats. It can both load and save PDF files that are JPEG, LZW, CCITT G1 1D, CCITT G3 2D, or CCITT G4 compressed, or uncompressed. In addition, LEADTOOLS PDF supports JBIG2 compressed PDF files. (Note that not all flavors of JBIG2 decompression are supported.)

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It was developed by Adobe Corporation to allow users to exchange and view their electronic documents in an easy and reliable way, independent of the environment in which these documents were created. A PDF file will look the same on the screen and in print regardless of what kind of machine you are using or which software package was used to create that file. One major advantage of PDF is that a large document can be compressed small enough to download very quickly, and still displays content as if you were looking at the original source such as a book or magazine.

PDF is emerging as a powerful format for reproducing documents over the web. Because of its high precision and accuracy in representing text and pictures along with its "hyper" nature, PDF is becoming a popular alternative to HTML and Postscript.
