We hope you've been busy exploring our entire new update to LEADTOOLS Version 22! Let's take a deep dive into the latest new feature added to the LEADTOOLS Document SDK: eSignatures. Developers using LEADTOOLS are now easily able to add electronic signatures as well as digitally sign documents without rasterizing or changing the underlying PDF.

Our support team recently worked with a customer who was having issues loading and displaying a 200-page TIFF file. Because each page of the TIFF was stored as a separate file, the size of the document was very large and it was taking too long for each page to display in the viewer. LEAD to the rescue! Using the LEADTOOLS Document Web Viewer and this simple code below, you can easily load various files into a single TIFF and the viewer takes care of rendering all of them in no time.

LEADTOOLS Version 22 was released with a bang last year with the introduction of our Document Editor SDK, ID Reader SDK, and numerous enhancements and features throughout our product line. But you know that we couldn’t stop there!

Inspired by direct feedback and requests from our customers, we are happy to announce an update to LEADTOOLS V22 that continues our tradition of providing innovative and valuable development tools to programmers.

What do you get when you take all the best of LEADTOOLS and wrap it up in an app? The LEADTOOLS Doc Scanner App. A combination of the award-winning LEADTOOLS Recognition, Document, and Imaging engines bring to life an app built by the developers here at LEAD that gives you the ability to accomplish any task with images and documents all in the palm of your hand!

The LEADTOOLS SDK leads the industry in Optical Character Recognition (OCR). With as few as three lines of code, programmers can develop robust, scalable, and high-performance recognition and document processing applications that extract text from scanned documents and convert images to text-searchable documents.

"As a long-time customer of LEADTOOLS, we’ve been using LEAD’s OCR engine to extract information from incoming faxes to be stored in our database. LEAD’s OCR technology has allowed us to improve our internal workflow and organization of our records."
