You might have heard about how LEAD has a world-class Document Converter. Our Document Converter can easily transform HTML to PDF. The portability of a PDF allows you to access content from webpages across multiple devices both on- and off-line.

Below are a few code snippets to convert HTML to PDF.

We have done several posts that uses the LEADTOOLS Document Converter to convert and merge multiple images and documents, including PDF. However, if all you need is to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF file, LEADTOOLS has a PDFFile class that can combine PDF files with one-line of code.

The PDFFile class is available for .NET FX, .NET Core, and Java. In addition to PDF file merge, the PDFFile class provides much more including getting information about the file, getting PDF metadata, encrypting and decrypting PDFs, distilling PostScript to PDF, digital signing, bookmarking, annotating, and web optimizing.

We recently posted “Convert PDF to TXT in C#, VB, and Java” that uses the LEADTOOLS Document Converter class. Now, we are going to go the other way around and convert TXT to PDF. The main difference is that conversion from text to PDF is less complicated because the source TXT file is always text based. On the other hand, PDF files can be text or image based. Converting an image to text requires OCR. Converting Text to PDF does not matter if the resulting PDF is image- or text-based.

It is tax season in the US. My CPA wants all of my supporting documentation to be saved as PDF, but I saved all as one multi-page TIFF when I scanned them. Fortunately, I have access to LEADTOOLS OCR.

In terms of functionality and platform support, LEADTOOLS OCR is the most flexible OCR engine available. It makes converting more than 200 image types to PDF and other document formats an easy task. The resulting PDF can be an image-based or text-searchable PDF. It can even be a combination of image over text so the resulting PDF has the text, but looks exactly like the TIFF.
