LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDK

The LEADTOOLS Document Imaging toolkit contains all the features available in LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro, plus the following capabilities:

Annotation, JavaScript Annotation and WPF Annotation LEADTOOLS supports annotation of images by letting you overlay images with text, lines, shapes, arrows, buttons, highlights, hot spots, sticky notes, stamps, buttons, and sounds.
Bitonal Scaling (Image Enhancement) for black-and-white images. LEADTOOLS functions for bitonal images greatly enhance their on-screen quality and readability. These functions are especially useful for working with images from black-and-white scanners or FAX machines.
Document Cleanup (Image Enhancement) for bitonal images. Other LEADTOOLS functions for bitonal images (especially useful for working with images from black-and-white scanners or FAX machines) let you do things such as automatically straighten (deskew) an image (including proprietary functions for deskewing scanned bank checks), remove spots (despeckle), or clarify a scaled display (using scale-to-gray and favor-black features). Document toolkits also include support for removing dots, blobs, holes (holepunch marks), inverted text, lines, borders, bumps and nicks from 1-bit images.
Fast rotation LEADTOOLS achieves fast rotation in 90-degree increments by applying a rotated view perspective to the bitmap.
FAST TWAIN Control image acquisition from any device (scanner, digital camera, etc) that supports TWAIN. Use a device's built in user-interface or create your own. Analyze the TWAIN source, considering the bits per pixel, image type and compression requested from the TWAIN device, and find the fastest compression type, transfer mode and buffer schemes to get the best performance possible.
Embedded Messages The Document toolkits include support for embedding messages in lossless image formats like bmp, tiff, lossless jpeg, etc. The message is embedded without any visible changes to the image, and does not appreciably increase the size of the image. The message is password-protected.
ABIC Read and write ABIC compressed files (used for compressing bank check images).
JBIG LEAD includes support for this filter in the LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging toolkits. JBIG defines a method for lossless compression encoding of a bi-level image (two-color image). This method can also be used for coding grayscale and color images. LEADTOOLS completely supports all three types of images, giving you the ability to make full use of this powerful compression technology. LEADTOOLS also supports the progressive capability of JBIG, allowing you to store and send multiple representations of images at different resolutions without any extra storage overhead.
MRC LEADTOOLS supports the Mixed Raster Content format for color documents containing mixed image and text components.
Raster PDF Save Support for saving raster images as a PDF file. This includes the Advanced PDF save and compression features. A workflow-based overview of LEADTOOLS Document Imaging capabilities can be found in help.
WCF Services that support file conversion, image processing, document cleanup, barcode, and OCR.
Windows Workflow Components that support file conversion, image processing, document cleanup, barcode, OCR, and high speed scanning.
Silverlight image viewer controls for panning, zooming, scrolling, and more. Silverlight image
file format codecs for extending the image file format load / save capabilities of
Silverlight. Over 130 image processing filters, transforms, and pixel shader effects.
HTML5 / JavaScript image viewer controls for displaying images in an HTML5 page across different platforms. Supports mouse and multi-touch (gesture) input. Interactive modes for panning, zooming, pinch and zoom, and more..
CD/DVD Burning.
JPIP (JPEG2000 Interactive Protocol). High-level components that developers can easily plug into enterprise client/server applications, allowing them to immediately start streaming high-resolution images under low HTTP bandwidth connections.
LEAD ABC (bitonal). Read and write LEAD ABC bitonal compressed.
NITF Support LEADTOOLS NITF functions enable you to manipulate the National Imagery Transmission Format in your Windows applications.
Barcode Modules LEADTOOLS Barcode Module functions allow you to add the ability to read barcodes, write barcodes and find duplicate barcodes within an image. Barcode modules allow programmers to easily integrate the ability to read and write barcode symbols into their applications.

LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Modules and Plug-ins

LEADTOOLS Document Imaging modules and plug-ins build on the capabilities of LEADTOOLS Document Imaging, adding automated Forms Recognition, Barcode Imaging, OCR / MICR, ICR, OMR, PDF OCR, and PDF Read and Write support to document imaging applications.
