Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL

Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL is a useful tool designed for Borland Delphi and Borland C++Builder to manage, manipulate, view, print, enhance PDF documents and process PDF eForms.

Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL 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 Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL, powerful PDF document management functions can be performed from within the business applications, making the applications more efficient and independent of external software.

PDFtoolkit provides VCL components to link to the PDF documents that need to be managed. The developer can place the PDFDocument component on a Form or DataModule, set properties and then call methods to fill or read form values, compress, secure by setting password, append or merge multiple PDF documents, rubber stamp as 'Confidential', 'Draft', etc, add bookmarks and perform many more tasks related to PDF. The final output can be received in a memory stream or a disk file.

Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL supports a whole range of PDF document management and manipulation functions that enable a developer to implement all PDF management tasks right with in the application. Following is a partial list of the functions supported: · Merge a list a PDF documents by just proving the names of the documents.  · Insert pages from one document to another by specifying a range of pages in the source document and the point at which the pages should be inserted in the destination document. · Append pages to the end of one document by specifying a range of pages in the second document. · Delete pages from a document by specifying a range of pages to delete. · Extract pages from one document by specifying a range of pages to extract into the second document.

Once the operations are performed by calling any of the functions the document can be encrypted with owner and user password, and written to disk or memory in compressed or uncompressed form.

Access permissions can also be set on the user password to allow or disallow printing, copying of text and graphics, modifying of document and so on. Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL also handles encrypted PDF documents when appropriate passwords are provided; taking care to allow only the operations the user is permitted to perform. If the owner password is provided then all operations are allowed.
