PDFtoolkit supports viewing and printing, filling and reading of PDF forms, compressing, securing, appending and merging of multiple PDF documents, stamping, building Table of Contents, setting bookmarks, and many more functions that can be performed on PDF documents. PDFtoolkit operates on existing PDF documents and can even create new ones by extracting pages from existing documents. With the help of PDFtoolkit powerful PDF document management functions can be performed from within the business applications, making the applications more efficient and independent of external software.

Why use Gnostice PDFtoolkit?

• View and Print PDF documents from within your application, without using any external software.
• Convert PDF documents to JPEG, BMP, other image formats, and using eDocEngine, to HTML, RTF, TIFF and more.
• Modify and Re-organize PDF documents by adding new text, images, bookmarks, annotations, delete pages, append page and more.
• Enhance PDF documents by activating links in content, inserting headers and footers, stamping page numbers, inserting document events and more.
• Automate reading of filled PDF forms and capture data accurately in the format you want, processing thousands of forms in seconds.
• Automate filling of PDF forms with constant data or unique data picked up from any data store, and distribute the filled forms in one go. An indispensable feature when you have to process and email thousands of forms to users across the globe.
• Stamps and Watermarks - apply markings that can appear on or below document content to indicate specific uses or restrictions on the document such as "Confidential", "Draft", etc or set the company logo as a watermark on all pages or selected pages of the document.
• Automate extraction of document metadata (or document information) and save it to a data store, enabling fast searching and retrieval based on document information elements. An extremely useful feature for implementing document archival/retrieval functions in your applications.
• Perform any kind of PDF document management, manipulation and reorganization task in batch or real-time from your application to automate document workflows.

ParseWare is intended for developers that work with files that contain names and addresses for the continental United States. Authors developed ParseWare based on our experience in the direct mail industry. Before developing ParseWare, authors did this kind of processing on a mainframe, ParseWare was a big step in our downsizing operation.

Parsing is accomplished through a set of parsers using dictionary data that resides in a file (default dictionary is provided). All of the parsers rely on matching strings of an input field to entries in the dictionary. For example, to determine the gender of an individual we rely on the 8000+ first names that reside in the dictionary. The dictionary is organized in contexts. ParseWare ships with dictionary manager (pdm.exe) that allows users to maintain dictionry entries.

TDocs lets you organize your documents in a tree structure, and displays the contents of your document collection in accordance with this structure. TDocs provides means for associating each document with four unique macros, providing control over the mouse, selection of documents, notify events and more.

Note 1: This package includes full component source and is freeware, but it does not include the TDocs design time interface. The design time interface is included only in the commersial version of this product.

Note 2: The TDocs component itself will probably work with Delphi 2 and Delphi 3 as well, but the commersial version will not, since the design time interface includes action lists, image lists and tool bars.

• Compare original string and second string and compute a "difference map" between the two strings.
• Use original string and difference map and produce second string. Reverse of previous function.
• Illustrates diffmap as text.

It treats strings as well as dynamic objects: carry out allocation and deallocation automatically, making initialization and assignment operations free by sizing.

Stringa allows to assign object of the same type among them, and with strings closed by a null character (cstr). It allows to enter to the content of its instances by indexes, carring on the limits validity control. It allows to use arithmetics operators to do operation such as strings connection, strings comparison.

The class Stringa has at its disposal several functions for substrings searching, which simplify implementation of apps such as: text editors, search engine and archives. At last supports I/O from the console and from files, by C++ operators '<<' and '>>', and own specific functions.

Stringa was released with an in-line manual, stringa.hlp: a windows help file written in Italian language (as the rest of the stuff that form the packet: sources, application).

• String pattern matching and searching, inspired on Unix regular expressions;
• Plenty of wildcard masks, variable-length sets, OR sequences;
• No classes, no assembly, no pointers nor special types, just one ordinary function;
• Ideal for data-structure validation, stream analysis and advanced text search.

Among its features, you can use a true TCanvas to create the PDF content, and embed True Type fonts subsets. Handle Unicode, bitmaps, metafiles, rich edit, bookmarks and links. Can generate PDF/A-1 files and be associated to an easy report builder, with preview.

TmwStringHash: Any TStrings descentand can be assigned to and hashed by it. TmwHashedStringList uses TmwStringHash to perform hashes. TmwStringHash uses a two dimensional dynamic array to store hash values and the index of strings in a TString. The main array is set to mod 11 of TStrings.Count. TmwStringHash can perform one million hashes in one million items in about two seconds and two million hashes in two million items in about four seconds (TBird 1.3 GHz Kylix3 on SuSe 8.1).

WPViewPDF is usually used to quickly display and print PDF files which were created with wPDF, wPDFControl or wRTF2PDF or with a competitor's library. It is directly embedded in your application.

WPViewPDF now supports ANSI text extraction and text find + highlight functionality.

WPViewPDF can open PDF files created by scanner software since it also does CCITT decompression.

Unlike Word documents, PDF documents usually do not contain enough information about the logical organization of text and other data. What looks like a paragraph to us humans may only be internally represented as multiple strands of text or characters on a 2-D Cartesian plane. XtremePDFConverter parses PDF page elements, tests them against certain criteria, decides whether those page elements could represent a paragraph or a table or a list or something else, and then applies appropriate conversion rules. The resultant document is much more usable and editable than the input PDF document. Unlike many products in the market, XtremePDFConverter generates regular paragraphs. It uses text boxes only for rotated text elements and only when required.

XtremePDFConverter currently supports conversion of PDF to RTF. RTF is a popular document format introduced by Microsoft and is compatible with most word-processing applications such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, Abiword, KWord, … and also online productivity suites such as Google Docs, Lotus Symphony, and Microsoft Office Live. XtremePDFConverter does not require PDF software such as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or GhostScript.
