Our members of the LEADTOOLS team who had the privilege of attending the Microsoft Build Conference and exhibiting as Visual Studio Partners are just getting adjusted back to Eastern Standard Time over here in Charlotte. For any of you who were in Seattle for the event, you know how energizing and memorable it was to be surrounded by like-minded developers and share in all the buzz of what's new and upcoming for Microsoft.

As always, the show was sold out so we thought we'd put together a fun little recap of our time there for those of you who weren't able to make it.

Save the date! .NET Conf 2022 is back and happening November 8th-10th. Join us and other great sponsors in celebrating and learning all about .NET 7 and for your chance to win some awesome prizes!

Whether you're creating contracts for business-to-business agreements or putting together a searchable PDF repository, finding a fast and efficient PDF viewer is critical. Tasks that are usually tedious and time-consuming with all the other PDF Viewers on the market (yes, even Adobe!) are easily automated using the LEADTOOLS Document Converter. This includes the ability to extract text using OCR, annotate, bookmark, and add searchability to PDFs- all without the need for any manual inputs!

Here at LEAD, we spend most of our time creating innovative technologies and packaging them into SDKs to help developers easily integrate powerful features within their end-user applications. To showcase pieces of what's possible using LEADTOOLS, we also like to dabble in some end-user application development ourselves!

One such application is the LEADTOOLS Doc Scanner App (available in the App Store and Google Play Store). Run, don't walk, to get this app and tell all your friends about it along the way. Not only is it completely FREE, but it combines the award-winning power of the LEADTOOLS Recognition, Document, and Imaging engines to give you the ability to do anything imaginable with a document, all from your smartphone!
