What is PDF Library?

Introducing a compact and efficient PDF library designed for the creation, editing, display, and printing of Acrobat PDF documents. This PDF API is not only lightweight but also swift, making it simple to integrate into various projects while being entirely developed in Java. The design of the API eliminates the necessity of understanding the intricate PDF specifications for PDF creation. We strive to obscure the complicated aspects while still providing you with near-total control over the PDF content. Wherever feasible, we leverage standard Java classes; for instance, pages are organized in a java.util.List, allowing for effortless manipulation, such as transferring pages between documents. This leads to an API that is both smaller and more user-friendly. Additionally, the Viewer Extension facilitates the parsing of PDFs and their conversion into bitmap formats for display, as well as saving them as bitmap images (like TIFF) or for printing purposes. While Java 5 claims to support direct PDF printing, the results can often be subpar, and its support for features such as annotations and encrypted documents is frequently lacking. Our PDF library addresses these shortcomings, ensuring reliable and high-quality results across all PDF files. Ultimately, this makes it an essential tool for developers looking to work with PDF documents seamlessly.

What is PDF Constructor?

PDF Constructor employs an XML-based grammar that fuses elements from XHTML, CSS, and SVG to produce both single and multi-page PDF documents, accommodating a wide array of pre-existing and dynamically generated raster, vector, and textual elements. The application allows for the creation of print-ready PDFs that feature support for CMYK and spot colors, while also enabling precise control over bleed and trim specifications. It supports various font formats, including Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType, ensuring that font embedding is consistently executed, with an optional feature for subsetting. Additionally, it allows for the creation of documents optimized for web use, complete with bookmarks, hyperlinks, interactive features, and JavaScript capabilities, as well as the ability to dynamically generate comprehensive Acrobat Forms. Users can seamlessly integrate JPEG and TIFF images into their layouts, with options for adjusting colorspace and resolution, along with transformations to facilitate proper alignment. Furthermore, SVG graphics can be either included directly or referenced externally, and users can specify templates for new content by selecting individual pages or entire PDF files. The tool also offers the ability to apply paragraph and character styles based on CSS2, which enhances the flow and design of content, making it not only functional but aesthetically pleasing. This multi-faceted software significantly simplifies the PDF generation workflow, establishing itself as an essential resource for both designers and developers in their projects. With its extensive features, PDF Constructor caters to a diverse range of user needs, ensuring efficiency and creativity in document creation.
