PDFlib GmbH ist auf die Entwicklung von PDF-Technologie spezialisiert. PDFlib-Produkte sind seit 1997 weltweit im Einsatz. Das Unternehmen berücksichtigt wichtige technologische Trends, etwa ISO-Standards für PDF. PDFlib GmbH vertreibt alle Produkte in 100 Ländern weltweit, wobei Nordamerika, Europa und Japan die wichtigsten Märkte darstellen.
PDFlib GmbH führte bereits 2006 die PDF/A-Funktionalität in ihren Produkten ein. Die Produkte von PDFlib waren die ersten, die XMP-Extension-Schemas unterstützen. Alle Produkte der aktuellen Version 9 der Produktfamilie PDFlib unterstützen alle Varianten von PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2 und PDF/A-3. Download Whitepaper »PDF/A - Eine technische Einführung«
PDFlib 9 kümmert sich soweit möglich automatisch um die Einhaltung der PDF/UA-Anforderungen. Entwickler, die mit PDFlib-Produkten arbeiten, müssen Strukturinformationen an die PDFlib-Programmierschnittstelle übergeben, damit PDFlib die Strukturhierarchie des Dokuments erstellen kann. PDFlib wendet PDF/UA-Prüfungen auf alle vom Benutzer gelieferten Struktur-Tags und Attribute an, um standardkonforme Ausgabe zu gewährleisten. PDFlib zeichnet automatisch Tabellen und Artefakte aus, was eine große Zeitersparnis für Entwickler bedeutet und die Erstellung standardkonformer Strukturhierarchie deutlich vereinfacht. Für Bilder und Vektorgrafik kann Alternativtext hinterlegt werden. Mit den PDFlib-Paketen wird Beispielcode für eine Vielzahl an Programmiersprachen und Entwicklungsumgebungen ausgeliefert. Im PDFlib Cookbook werden weitere Programmiermethoden vorgestellt. Download Whitepaper »PDF/UA - Eine technische Einführung«
Die PDF/VT-Unterstützung in PDFlib, PDFlib+PDI und PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS) basiert auf der vorhandenen Implementierung von PDF/X-4 und PDF/X-5, die 2009 eingeführt wurde. Alle relevanten PDF/X-Funktionen und -Anforderungen in PDFlib betreffen auch PDF/VT. Das schließt Farbmanagement mit ICC-Profilen, Output Intents zur Charakterisierung der geplanten Druckausgabebedingungen und Regeln für den Umgang mit Farbe, Ebenen und Transparenz im Dokument mit ein. Da PDFlib bereits extern referenzierte Dokumentbestandteile für die Standards PDF/X-4p, PDF/X-5g und PDF/X-5pg unterstützte, stellte es eine solide Grundlage für die Implementierung von PDF/VT-2 dar. Darüber hinaus war auch die Basis für PDF/VT-2s bereits vorhanden, da PDFlib schon immer die Dokumentgenerierung im Arbeitsspeicher unterstützt und eines der wenigen Produkte ist, die die Erstellung und Ausgabe von PDF verschachteln können. PDFlib unterstützt auch die Ausgabe von Dateien, die gleichzeitig die Vorgaben von PDF/VT-1 und PDF/A erfüllen. Download Whitepaper »PDF/VT - Eine technische Einführung«

PDFlib GmbH introduced PDF/A functionality in its products in 2006. PDFlib products were the first with support for XMP extension schemas. All products in the latest version 9 of the PDFlib product family support all flavors of PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3. Download Whitepaper »Technical Introduction to PDF/A«
PDFlib 9 takes care of PDF/UA requirements automatically as far as possible. Developers working with PDFlib products must provide structure information to the PDFlib programming interface so that PDFlib can create the document’s structure hierarchy. PDFlib applies PDF/UA checks to all user-supplied structure tags and attributes to ensure conforming output. PDFlib automatically tags tables and artifacts which is a big time-saver for the developer and simplifies the creation of a standard-conforming structure hierarchy. Alternative text can be attached to images and vector graphics. Sample code for a variety of programming languages and development environments is provided with the PDFlib distribution. Additional programming techniques for PDF/UA are available in the PDFlib Cookbook. Download Whitepaper »Technical Introduction to PDF/UA«
PDF/VT is a standard for optimized PDF for variable and transactional printing. PDFlib can create output which conforms to PDF/VT-1, PDF/VT-2 or PDF/VT-2s according to ISO 16612-2 for Variable Document Publishing (VDP). Document Part Metadata (DPM) can be attached according to the PDF/VT standard. Download Whitepaper »Technical Introduction to PDF/VT«
PDFlib is the leading developer toolbox for generating and manipulating files in the Portable Document Format (PDF). PDFlib’s main targets are dynamic PDF creation on a Web server or any other server system, and to implement »Save as PDF« in existing applications.
PDFlib+PDI includes all PDFlib functions, plus the PDF Import Library (PDI). With PDI you can open existing PDF documents and incorporate some pages into the PDFlib output.
The PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS) includes PDFlib+PDI plus additional functions for variable data processing using PDFlib Blocks. PPS makes applications independent from layout changes.
The PDFlib Text and Image Extraction Toolkit (TET) is a developer product for reliably extracting text, images and metatdata from PDF documents. PDFlib TET PDF IFilter extracts text and metadata from PDF documents and makes it available to search and retrieval software on Windows. This allows PDF documents to be searched on the local desktop, a corporate server, or the Web.
PDFlib PLOP (PDF Linearization, Optimization, Protection) offers a straightforward way to linearize and optimize your PDF files for fast Web delivery, and to apply or remove Acrobat security features.
PDFlib PLOP DS (Digital Signature) offers all features of PLOP, plus the ability to apply digital signatures to PDF documents.
