.NET and COM APIs

Offering a robust COM and .NET native API, activePDF provides an easy, affordable means to add file conversion functionality to all of your applications. Capable of converting commonly used file formats both to and from PDF, integration is as simple as a single method call.

Stamping / Watermarking

Toolkit's text width calculation routines make stamping and text placement within PDFs exact, allowing users to automatically apply standard text such as page numbers, headers and footers, or watermarks to a single page, range of pages or entire PDF documents, using any font available on a server, at any size or color, in any degree of rotation.

Digital Signatures

Toolkit provides the ability to apply digital signatures to PDF files using certificates stored on a server. With Toolkit, end users can also create certificates on the fly, easily extending signing capabilities to every user in an organisation.

Append and Extract Pages

Painlessly utilise Toolkit to append or extract pages to and from virtually any PDF within seconds, even in memory.

Stitch PDFs

Toolkit's stitching technology allows you to import one or more PDF documents, combining them into a single PDF page. Previously labor-intensive applications, such as newsletters or classified advertisements, are simplified with this feature.

Merge Multiple Documents
