Creating an application to compare changes made to documents or images of documents can be an unnecessary burden on development time...unless of course, you simply use our Document Compare SDK! LEADTOOLS includes an interactive comparison navigator that allows users to step through insertions, deletions, and edits to easily compare documents as well as images of documents.

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.

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!
