Document Viewer for .NET SDK Libraries
The LEADTOOLS Document Viewer is an OEM-ready, document-viewing solution for .NET (C# & VB). Developers can create robust, full-featured applications with rich document-viewing features, including text search, annotation, memory-efficient paging, inertial scrolling, and vector display.
The LEADTOOLS Document Viewer is also available as a zero-footprint web application built with HTML5/JavaScript.
Document Viewer Control for .NET
With only a few lines of code, the LEADTOOLS Document Viewer can be added to any .NET project and is perfect for rapid customization and integration into existing document management systems and workflows.
