The products provided by PDF Tools AG can be divided into three categories: components, solutions and desktop products
Components are software programs that are designed as elements of software solutions and are integrated into these solutions. We differentiate between two types of components: APIs and shell tools.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a software component used by programmers. It provides specific processing functions for PDF files and is used via a programming interface. Programming interfaces are available for various programming languages such as C/C++, Java, PHP and C#.NET.
A shell tool is a software component used with an operating system’s command line. It provides specific processing functions for PDF files and is used by experts to automate PDF processing operations using shell scripts.
Solutions are software programs that can be operated independently on the customer’s servers. They offer PDF processing services in the form of web services, monitored file and mail directories, and more.
Desktop products are standalone software programs that are installed on a client operating system and are designed to be used directly by the end user.
We have a range of specialized tools for all manner of scenarios. We will be pleased to answer questions regarding your requirements and help you find a suitable solution. Contact us at any time to arrange a personal consultation.
