PDF Library SDK to expand multi-platform capable products
Customers of Docubase Systems Inc. wanted a solution capable of graphically enriching printed matter; the application should simultaneously save an electronic copy and make it accessible to users. The search for suitable products led to PDF Tools.
Application requirements
Docubase Systems Inc. had a broad range of application requirements. Firstly, it should be possible to extract text from PDF documents for indexing purposes. Secondly, large PDF documents should be able to be split into a number of smaller elements. And thirdly, it should be possible to optimize documents for fast web-based display. The company had been searching since the end of the nineties for technology to denote an ever-growing volume of PDF print files with keywords. In those days the range of available software solutions capable of supporting automatic indexing processes was limited. Customers of Docubase Systems Inc. wanted a solution capable of graphically enriching printed matter; the application should simultaneously save an electronic copy and make it accessible to users. The most renowned providers of the time recommended PDF (Portable Document Format) to their customers as an alternative to popular printstream formats such as PCL, METACODE, DJDE and other AFP formats.
