It is common to ask other departments for feedback on content to make sure you get mulitple perspectives on the topic. I cannot count the number of times I have sent a document to another department only to get it back with Tracking Changes disabled. 😡 When that happens, you can either manually check each and every word for a change like a caveman, or you can use a tool to show the differences. Fortunately, I have LEADTOOLS and PowerShell in my arsenal of tools.

There are many reasons why you might want to convert to or from a PDF document. Perhaps you need to make a PDF editable or text searchable. Or maybe you would prefer a PDF to be a DOC or DOCX file, but you don't want to copy/paste the text or lose the original formatting. You might even need to batch convert a ton of PDFs in the same way. Good news! The LEADTOOLS Document Converter SDK is an easy to integrate tool able to handle all of your document and image conversion needs.

LEAD is continuously updating and adding new features to LEADTOOLS. One feature that was rolled into Version 19 after the initial release includes enhanced SVG support. This enhancement allows users to load document and vector formats as SVG, which can then be handed off to other parts of LEADTOOLS such as the Document Writers. In other words, you can convert from formats such as DOC, PDF, DWG, DXF, etc. to other document formats such as PDF/A, HTML, and SVG without rasterization or OCR.

In Convert a Word Document to PDF (C#), I attached a project to show how to do the conversion in .NET. Now I have attached a C/C++ version of the project that will convert vector and document formats to PDF.

LEADTOOLS provides fast and highly accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) SDK technology for .NET (C# & VB), C/C++, WinRT, iOS, OS X, Java, and web. Developers around the world are leveraging the LEADTOOLS SDK to add high-performance OCR and document processing to their applications across all of the platforms in their enterprise, including server, desktop, and mobile devices.

OCR is a very processor intensive process, so native OCR on servers and desktops is expected. But, did you know that LEADTOOLS OCR also runs natively on Windows Phone, Android, and iOS? To test the performance of LEADTOOLS OCR on your our device, we have created several applications and put them in the respective app stores. These apps can OCR images stored on the device or taken with the camera in order to extract text or convert to a text based document format such as PDF or DOC.
Features include:

Yesterday, we introduced LEADTOOLS Version 20 and its new development platforms to you. Today we're diving into the features.

Overall, the toolkit is faster and more efficient, and major areas of focus in this release were the Recognition Engines, Document Viewer, Document Formats, Medical Web Viewer, and Hanging Protocols.
