Macintosh Pict Format (PCT)
Macintosh Pict (PCT) files are produced using Macintosh QuickDraw, and are used in desktop publishing and imaging applications.
PCT Vector files can be read and written as raster images in the non-vector toolkits. LEADTOOLS supports multiple page files when reading and writing PCT images as raster images. Vector read/write support for these formats is provided in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro toolkit and is unlocked when the Vector features are unlocked. For more information on available LEADTOOLS products, refer to Products and Licensing or contact LEAD.
