Document Library Features

The LEADTOOLS Document library provides a uniform set of programming tools for creating, reading, and writing raster and SVG images, annotations, thumbnails, text data, metadata, and bookmarks from supported document formats.

This library can be used to:

• Create a fully functional document-viewing application with unlimited smooth page zooming, thumbnails, metadata, and text search without knowing any specifics about the format that is being used. The LEADTOOLS Document Viewer uses the Document library to provide such functionality.
• Convert documents from any format to another format using OCR and SVG technologies. The LEADTOOLS Document Converter Library uses the Documents classes to provide this support.
• Make text-based comparisons with string, DocumentPageText, and LEADDocument objects.

Supported Document Formats

All the file formats supported by LEADTOOLS can be used with the Document library. These formats include but are not limited to:

• Adobe Acrobat PDF and PDF/A

• Microsoft Office DOCX/DOC, XLSX/XLS and PPTX/PPT

• CAD formats such as DXF, DWG and DWF

• TIFF, JPEG, PNG, EXIF, BMP, and more than a hundred more raster image formats

• Plain Text and RTF

• HTML

• ePub

All of the above formats are supported natively by LEADTOOLS without the need of any 3rd party tools or applications installed on the system.
