Being an important part of many document and imaging workflows, LEADTOOLS Annotations SDK provides an interface to mark up images with various shapes, notes, highlights, rulers, and redactions with options to either permanently alter the image or store information to undo and alter the annotations.

Even today there are many organizations that rely on fax as a required form of communications. Because of this, receiving faxes is a requirement that much still be met. To do this, many organizations utilize fax services either hosted locally or by a third-party. Many of these services will email received faxes to users as a PDF file.

In a normal facsimile transmission, every other scan-line is skipped. This reduces the amount of data that needs to be sent over the relatively slow connection used to send faxes. To account for the missing scan-lines, the aspect ratio of the pixels is 2:1. It is important to recognize this when displaying the image else you will end up displaying the image incorrectly, making it looked squashed.

Recently, we had a long-time customer provide some high praise for LEADTOOLS and our technical support department. When we followed up to find out what made their experience so great, they had a lot to say about how LEADTOOLS Document Imaging has saved them countless hours and engineering resources over the past 8 years.

Quote Software, Inc., has been in the business of creating custom software focused on construction estimating and Building Information Modeling (BIM) estimating since 1991. As they expanded into new construction markets they approached LEADTOOLS for help in adding support for loading, saving, viewing and annotating blueprints stored within large PDF and TIFF files.
