PDF PageMaster is an industrial-strength, stand-alone solution for splitting, merging, editing, and securing PDF documents.

PDF PageMaster is offered as an easy-to-use command-line application and as a software development component that can be used as a building block for other client and server-based applications.

Like other PDFTron products, PDF PageMaster does not rely on any other third-party software.

The split functionality allows you to split one or more PDF documents based on page groups, page ranges, bookmarks and file size, while the merge functionality enables you to quickly sort and then combine a collection of PDF documents and page sets.

PDF PageMaster also allows you to apply or modify PDF security as well as to edit document metadata (e.g. document title, author information, keywords, etc.) on resulting documents.

Key Functions:

• Generate a new PDF file or compilation by merging one or more PDF documents.
• Split PDF documents into several files based on various options (page number, odd/even, page ranges, etc.)
• Break PDF documents into pieces based on chapters, bookmarks or file size.
• Extract or move specific pages or page ranges into new PDF documents.
• Remove specific pages from existing PDF documents.
• Assembe new files by inserting or appending new pages to any PDF document.
• Reverse or rearrange pages within a PDF document.
• Apply security settings, permissions, and document metadata to output PDF files.
• Get the number of pages in a given PDF document.
• Simple to use batch mode for processing entire folders with PDF documents.
• Options to preserve bookmarks, links, and forms in the output PDF.
• Ability to work with very large PDF documents containing any number of pages.
• Create linearized and web ready PDF files with smallest file size.
• Get and set PDF document metadata such as Author, Subject, Title or Keywords.
• Fast, reliable and suitable for server use.

Additional Features:

• Encryption. PDF PageMaster supports standard PDF security (RC4 and AES).
• Efficiency. PDF PageMaster is based on PDFNet, making it extremely fast and efficient.
• Support for very large documents.
• PDF PageMaster can detect shared resources between pages (e.g. fonts, images, color-spaces) and makes sure that only necessary objects are imported. Therefore, all generated documents contain only minimum necessary information decreasing them in size.
• Because of built-in support for multi-threading, PDF PageMaster is a good match for multi-threaded, server based applications.
• Support for all PDF revisions, including PDF 1.7 and Acrobat 8 documents.

PDF PageMaster SDK

PDF PageMaster SDK consists of a simple-to-use API for splitting and merging PDF documents. The SDK is available as a plain ‘C DLL’ and can be easily accessed from any programming language (including C#, VB.NET, C/C++, Java, VB6, Perl, Python, Ruby, Delphi, etc).

The entire API consists of only two functions and is very easy to use.

PDF PageMaster is based on PDFNet SDK, PDFTron’s own core technology. PDFNet SDK is a comprehensive developer library for PDF creation, manipulation and rendering, offered on a wide range of platforms and programming environments. If you require functionality for integration in your own applications beyond that which is provided as part of PDF PageMaster SDK, please check out PDFNet or contact a PDFTron representative for more information.

Common use case scenarios:

• Server-based, on-demand delivery of dynamically assembled PDF documents.
• Build new PDF catalogues by extracting page ranges from existing collections of PDF files. This may be particularly useful in assembling product catalogues and report documents.
• Inserting a cover page or appending a legal notice to every PDF document in a given directory.
• Many PDF workflows in pre-press industry work with color separated documents. PageMaster allows for automated splitting and assembly of separated PDF documents.
• Integrating PDF merging and splitting functionality in a client application.

Platforms currently supported:

• Windows Vista/2003/2000/XP/NT/98; Linux; Mac OSX
