Leadtools.Forms.DocumentWriters Introduction
Summary
LEADTOOLS Document Writers class library provides programming tools for creating popular multi-page and searchable documents such as Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word and HTML from Scalable Vector Objects (SVG), standard Windows Enhanced Meta File (EMF) and raster image objects.
Supported Document Formats
- Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). With support for PDF/A and optional image over text overlays. The PDF document support requires unlocking an extra key before it can be used. For more information, refer to Unlocking Special LEAD Features
- Microsoft Word document format (DOCX and DOC)
- Microsoft Excel document format (XLS)
- Microsoft Open XML Paper Specification (XPS)
- Rich Text Format (RTF)

- Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
- Text (ANSI, UTF8 and UTF16)
- Windows Enhanced Metafile format (EMF)
- LEADTOOLS Temporary Document (LTD). This format creates a temporary file on disk that can later be converted to any of the other formats supported by the LEADTOOLS Document Writers. This format is intended to be used when creating a document with large amount of pages over multiple sessions (for example, in a server-based scenario)
Key Features:
- Support for PDF/A. PDF/A is a subset of PDF obtained by leaving out PDF features not suited to long-term archiving. The resulting document is guaranteed to look exactly like the original version when viewed on the target machine. Saving with PDF/A document type may result in larger output file sizes
- Extra options for the various flavors of the output documents supported. For example, adding page numbers and breaks to text files and frames (text box objects) in DOC/DOCX files
- Support provided to monitor the document creation operation through a progress event. Your application can provide a visual feedback using a progress bar and a cancel button to the user to allow both monitoring and abortion of the current operation.
