Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF was developed by the Adobe Corporation to allow the exchange and viewing of electronic documents easily and reliably, independent of the environment in which they were created. This format lets you compress large documents to a size small enough to download very quickly. It is also becoming a powerful format for reproducing documents over the web.
The LEADTOOLS Document Writers support creating version 1.6 of the PDF and PDF/A documents. For more information on how to use the LEADTOOLS Document Writers to create PDF documents, refer to PdfDocumentOptions. The following features are supported:
Unlimited number of pages
Fully searchable PDF documents
PDF and PDF/A standards

Raster image overlay over the PDF pages. This is used when creating a searchable PDF document that is required to be the same as original final, an image of the original file will be saved over the whole PDF document as an overlay. When using the result document in a PDF viewer, you can still search the text underneath the overlay image while maintaining the look of the original document
