LEADTOOLS Image to Searchable Text PDF SDK

LEADTOOLS provides a variety of options for handling PDF files. Conversion from image to searchable text-based PDF is just one option of the many options. With LEADTOOLS, .NET, WinRT, iOS, OS X, Android, Linux, WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET and C/C++ developers can convert any image into a searchable text PDF. Searchable text PDFs are generally smaller in size than the comparable raster image and the embedded text can be searched, indexed and edited as in a word processor.

Linearized PDF and PDF/A Support

LEADTOOLS supports the creation of linearized PDF and PDF/A files. Linearized PDF files are saved in such a way that when the PDF file is streamed or viewed over the web, the first page of the file can be displayed before the entire file is downloaded. Linearization provides a better experience to the end-user and gives the appearance that the PDF is downloading faster, especially for large PDF files.
