PDF: Reading PDF

The LEADTOOLS PDF Read Plug-in is an add-on module for all LEADTOOLS Toolkits. It extends support to include the PDF, Postscript, and EPS formats. The LEADTOOLS PDF SDK Plug-in supports loading, saving, viewing, rasterizing, and encoding these three formats. It integrates seamlessly with the broad imaging functionality present in the existing LEADTOOLS toolkits, encompassing specialized display, color-conversion, image-processing, scanning, annotations, document clean-up, and much more.

For complete instructions on unlocking PDF support and implementing PDF features, see the appropriate Raster Imaging help file.
