ABIC Format (ABIC, ICA)

The ABIC file format (a raster file format created by IBM) is commonly used in the banking industry for check image compression. It consists of compression/decompression algorithms called ABIC (Bi-level Q-Coder) and Concatenated ABIC (Grayscale) that use an arithmetic coding technique to produce lossless data compression. LEADTOOLS can Load/Save (compress/decompress) ABIC Raw data separately.

PTOCA Format (PTOCA)

LEAD can load PTOCA and IOCA overlays. Use L_GetOverlayBitmap and L_SetOverlayAttributes to get the overlays and adjust the settings of the overlays

Image Object Content Architecture Format (IOCA/MODCA)

LEAD can load PTOCA and IOCA overlays. Use L_GetOverlayBitmap and L_SetOverlayAttributes to get the overlays and adjust the settings of the overlays

Portable Document Format (PDF)

When loading a PDF you can set the resolution and bit depth at which the image will be loaded.  Use the FILEPDFOPTIONS structure with L_GetPDFOptions and L_SetPDFOptions to adjust these settings.
