Leadtools.Document Introduction (original) (raw)
Summary
The LEADTOOLS Document class library provides a uniform set of programming tools for creating, reading, and writing raster and SVG images, annotations, thumbnails, text data, metadata, and bookmarks from supported document types.
Key Features
Develop fully functional document viewing applications with unlimited and smooth page zooming, thumbnails, metadata, and text search (without needing to know any specifics about the file format being used). The LEADTOOLS Document Viewer uses the Document library to provide such functionality.
Supported Document Types
All file formats supported by LEADTOOLS can be used with the Document class library. These formats include but are not limited to:
- Adobe Acrobat PDF and PDF/A
- Microsoft Office DOCX/DOC, XLSX/XLS, and PPTX/PPT
- CAD formats such as DXF, DWG, and DWF
- TIFF, JPEG, PNG, EXIF, BMP, and a hundred more raster image formats
- Plain Text and RTF
- HTML
- ePub
Programming Capabilities
Use the library to add the following capabilities to applications:
- Convert documents from any format to another using OCR and SVG technologies. The LEADTOOLS Document Converter Library uses the Document classes to provide this support.
- Load and create document objects, as well as manage the global cache
- Provide uniform support for any type of document
- Add document annotations and redactions
- Read/include embedded or external attachments
- Work with barcodes, bookmarks, and caching
- Manipulate images and pages
All the above support is provided natively by LEADTOOLS, without the need of any 3rd party tools or applications installed on the system.
Cloud Services
Does your application require document recognition or conversion, but its implementation language is preventing you from using LEADTOOLS directly? Consider using the LEADTOOLS Cloud Services Web API instead. It is a high-powered and scalable Web API. Its hassle-free interface can be used to integrate advanced OCR, barcode, MICR, and document conversion into any application.
