Add PDF Features with 2 API Calls Open, Edit, and View PDF. All that's needed is two API calls and a configuration file. Within a day, you can add, open, import, edit and view PDF features in your app. When formats don't match one-to-one, the SDK neutralizes the differences. This includes adding cropping, fills, color management and fonts. The PDF Conversion SDK processes all PDF versions including ISO Standard PDF 2.0. Any PDF from file or print-ready memory is valid input. Conversions flow straight through without intermediate steps or compromised quality. No printer driver. The PDF Conversion SDK runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It supports .NET. Example code included. Removes redundant information & compresses data. This ensures great performance for fast web and application viewing. Search for objects and text strings. Convert PDF to your native file format. Change the contents of a PDF page. Extract images from PDF. Retrieve metadata from PDF (layers, geospecification, etc).

Powered by next-generation Kubotek Kosmos technology, K-Display employs full multi-threaded processing guaranteed to bring a new level of speed when opening larger files. K-Display Convert has versions supporting Windows, Mac, and Linux. Count on these programs to translate all the MCAD files that come your way into formats you can use. Simple display commands and options for 3D models. Check distances, surface areas, and solid volumes. Save as STEP, IGES, ACIS, STL, and PDF files. Licenses ready for purchase in our web store.

Agni Link automates the transfer of Bills of Materials using an add-in to CAD/PDM/PLM applications by Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS, PTC (Creo, Windchill) and Siemens (Solid Edge, Teamcenter), just to name a few. It brings your data from both information silos into one common data object. You can easily define simple rules, so the discrepancies found between your systems are resolved in real-time automatically, based on simple rules that you can easily define. Easy, error-free, accurate and reliable. The Elmo way. And if you are not quite happy with the mappings and their behavior, you can easily edit them all by yourself — without any programming! It is proven that in an ETO process, manual transcription of data from Engineering to Manufacturing can consume up to 25% of the total engineering effort. And unfortunately, the export-import approach is barely better. Only bidirectional, real-time data validation and populating can eliminate the terrible waste of brains.
