Easily create PDF files through ActiveX PDF writer software with a fully-documented API. It writes in native PDF format directly to a unique paper sheet. No third-party software required, it's easy to use and royalty-free deployment is available.
The tool offers Delphi and DLL APIs, so your applications based on PDF In-The-Box can be freely deployed without any run-time license needed. With a comprehensive programming interface that offers about 110 methods, properties, and events, you can create sophisticated PDF documents with ease.
Some of the features include the ability to manage text, supporting all TrueType fonts, multi-line text, smart hyphenation, horizontal and vertical alignment, style sheets, style inheritance, and insertion of rich texts loaded from RTF files.
Interactive forms are also supported, with field types such as pushbutton, edit box, memo box, list box, combo box, check box, and radio buttons. Links and JavaScript actions can be set on all fields, and support of style sheets is available.
The tool offers a powerful grid management system with cell drawing and filling methods, allowing you to customize the aspect and dimensions for every column. Graphics can also be managed through the 15 methods available to draw geometrical shapes such as lines, rectangles, circles, pies, polygons, Bezier curves and more.
Images can be retrieved from memory or loaded from disk (.BMP, .JPG, .WMF, .EMF, .ICO formats) while preserving aspect ratio, and compression is available with Zlib or Jpeg algorithms. Multimedia features include bookmarks, hyperlinks (internal, remote, external, or Internet links), and annotations.
Finally, document control is also available, supporting all paper sizes and allowing the orientation to be changed within a document. Document properties such as author, keywords, producer, subject, and title, can be set along with encryption and protection options such as owner password, user password, and security options. Global and partial page numbering systems are also supported.
