Easy, Complete & Reliable PDF APIs

noreply@blogger.com (PDF Online) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:01:00 +0000

BCL easyPDF SDK allows you to quickly develop feature-complete and reliable PDF server apps by reducing the complexity of converting large-number of documents to PDF into as little as 3 lines of code.

Easy
Just imagine the usual programming steps that you have to take in order to convert a document to PDF. Not only you have to successfully launch the host application and open the document, but you also have to make sure that nothing happens during conversion. One little mishap can grind your application to a halt. And multiply that with the number of documents you need to convert and the number of processes you need to spawn.

BCL easyPDF SDK hides the complexity associated with converting a document into PDF and encapsulates it into as little as 3 lines of code.

1 | Set oPrinter = CreateObject ("easyPDF.Printer.7")
2 | Set oPrintJob=oPrinter.PrintJob
3 | oPrintJob.PrintOut "C:\input.doc", "C:\output.pdf"

Feature Complete
BCL easyPDF SDK comes with all APIs that you may need in developing enterprise server and desktop applications:

PDF Printer API - for Converting Printable Documents to PDF
PDF Processor API - for Processing and Manipulating PDF
PDF Converter API - for Rastering PDF into image
PDF Document API - for Processing PDF Forms

Reliable
BCL easyPDF SDK has robust error handling built into it to allow trouble free PDF creation, modification and merging. Threads are monitored for time-outs to make sure that they do not stop an application’s operation. Each thread in BCL easyPDF SDK is isolated from other thread and does not affect their operation.

BCL easyPDF SDK's speed and reliability have been tested in PDF Online, our free PDF converter service. PDF Online servers process thousands of PDF conversions per day (with 99% success rate) and runs 24x7 with no human operator.

Absolutely brilliant!!! I hate PDF's because you cannot edit the documents and this is superb. AND FREE on top of that!! Keep up the good work!

I often receive PDF documents from clients which require a response. Being able to convert them to Word this easily makes my job that much more efficient. Without this service I often have to retype 12-20 page documents.

Converting PDF to Word

noreply@blogger.com (PDF Online) — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:15:00 +0000

PDF was supposed to be the ultimate document distribution solution. You take a document (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc), convert it to PDF, and you get a perfect copy of that document that you can send around with 100% confidence that the recipients will see exactly what you see. What a perfect world.... but think about these for a moment:

- What if you need to quickly modify the PDF?
- What if you need to extract data from the PDF?
- What if you just don't like PDF?
- What if the original document is lost?

If all you have is a PDF document, then you are stuck (unless you buy hundreds of dollar worth of software solutions).

We have just released BCL easyConverter Desktop, a tool that can convert PDF to Word. It's easy to use and reasonably priced at $19.95. In fact, it's so easy to use, all you need to do is to select a PDF, select a target filename, and press the convert button. That's it. Now, the best part is that if you document has less than 3 pages, you can use it for free! Simply download the free trial and start converting your PDF to Word.

[Web2PDF Online] Use your own button design

PDF to Word Conversion Service is coming!

noreply@blogger.com (PDF Online) — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 17:08:00 +0000

Some of you may remember that our first free service was not document to PDF conversion, but conversion of PDF to other formats. The good news is that we are currently working on bringing that service back.

We just released BCL easyConverter SDK which contains PDF2Word API which allows programmers to convert Acrobat compatible PDF documents to Microsoft Word compatible RTF files. We are going to use this API to power our upcoming PDF2Word Free Online Conversion, just like easyPDF SDK powers the Doc2PDF Online Conversion.

To see what kind of output quality you will get, check out these conversion samples.

If you are a programmer, you can get your hand dirty by downloading the trial copy of easyConverter SDK and convert some of your own PDF documents into PDF. No worries thought, easyConverter SDK is very easy to program. You can get up and running with just 3 lines of code!

1: EasyConverterLib::IPDF2WordPtr pConvObj = NULL;
2: pConvObj.CreateInstance(_T("EasyConverter.PDF2Word"));
3: pConvObj->ConvertToWord (InputFileName, OutputFileName, Password, From, To);

Not only that, BCL easyConverter SDK allows development of robust, multi-threaded systems that can be easily scaled for enterprise class applications. Robust exception handling allows you to develop applications that run nonstop 24 x 7. PDF documents can be converted from file to file or memory and from memory to memory for fast application.

We are really excited of the possibilies that BCL easyConverter SDK and the upcoming PDF2Word Online service can bring, and are looking forward to hear your comments on this. In the mean time, you can sign up to be notified when the service is up.

[Web2PDF Online] Term #7 Explained

noreply@blogger.com (PDF Online) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 20:26:00 +0000

There was a concern that term #7 in our Terms-of-Use sounds like we retain the copyright for any webpage converted to pdf using our service. What it actually means is that we have a royalty-free license (i.e., permission) from the author of the uploaded content for that uploaded content to be on our server(s), both in the uploaded format as well as the converted format. The author(s) of the document do not relinquish any copyrights to us.

The revised term is as follow:

7. License of Your Content to Provider. By uploading your content to the Web Site for processing into PDF format, you are granting Provider a royalty-free license for the uploaded content to be processed into PDF format and for that uploaded content to be present on the Web Site server(s) after it has been processed into and exists in PDF format for retrieval by users.
