PD4ML is a managed PDF generating software that utilizes HTML and CSS as page layouts and content format. It is a powerful tool that allows you to add PDF generation functionality to your products quickly and easily.

PD4ML is encapsulated in a set of DLLs, which makes it easy to deploy. The software does not rely on any unsafe native components such as MS IE/Firefox/Mozilla. Instead, it is based on a proprietary HTML rendering engine that is optimized for PDF layout generation. The rendering engine implements most of HTML4/CSS2 standard features and custom PDF-generation-specific functions, such as pagination control, headers/footers generation, watermarking, TOC generation, and more.
PD4ML allows you to embed word processor documents, spreadsheets, and rich media content as attachments to the resulting PDF documents. The software provides basic support for PDF forms and allows customization of page background, and the ability to override hardcoded document style with additional CSS style sheets.
The software also allows users to convert an URL or HTML string to a PDF file or byte stream. Users can set PDF page format and orientation, define page margins, and control header/footer appearance on selected pages. PD4ML supports True Type and Open Type fonts and most of Asian, Middle-East, European, and Latin character sets. It also generates external and internal hyperlinks, bookmarks, and tables of contents based on H1-H6 structure.
PD4ML allows users to switch PDF encryption on and assign document security restrictions. With this software, it is possible to generate PDF files with watermarked pages, and customize PDF headers and footers in HTML (including images and page numbers).
In conclusion, PD4ML's rich set of features and robustness of managed code makes it a perfect PDF generation solution for server-side and desktop applications. Users can enjoy seamless PDF generation with PD4ML.
