PDFTron Systems Ships a New PDFNet SDK Update with Improved Compression Support

Posted by Sachin Garg on 25th July 2005 | Permanent Link

In a press release, PDFTron Systems, a software developer specializing in PDF, SVG, and PostScript technologies, announced the release of a new update to PDFNet SDK (v.2.6). The new release focuses on improved compression in PDFNet SDK, utilizing the latest and most advanced compression technologies available on the market, such as JPEG2000 and JBIG2.

Using PDFNet you can write stand-alone, cross-platform and reliable commercial applications that can read, write, edit, print and display PDF documents. PDFNet is available as a 100%.Net component that can be used from any .Net language (e.g. C#, VB, and J#) and as a cross-platform C/C++ library.

The new release features a brand new high-performance, high-quality JPEG2000 engine which can be used to decode and process any JP2 embedded stream in PDF. The JPEG2000 filter was introduced in PDF 1.5

In addition to enhanced JPEG2000 decoder support, the PDFNet toolkit also features new JBIG2 decompression support.

  1. Vivek Mishra Says:

    We are developing a web application in .NET 2005

    We do have the requirement to print the PDF files directly from Client machines without opening them and without selecting the printer to print them. Printer name need to be provided by the application automatically.

    In brief, PDF need to be printed on client machine on a single click from application.

    Will it be possible using PDFNet.

    An early reply will be highly appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Vivek
