C#, Java, VB.Net, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby -
Imposition
The sample illustrates how multiple pages can be combined/imposed using PDFNet. Page imposition can be used to arrange/order pages prior to printing or to assemble a 'master' page from several 'source' pages. Using PDFNet API it is possible to write applications that can re-order the pages such that they will display in the correct order when the hard copy pages are compiled and folded correctly.
-
InteractiveForms
The sample illustrates some basic PDFNet capabilities related to interactive forms (also known as AcroForms).
-
JBIGTest
The sample project illustrates how to recompress bi-tonal (black and white) images in existing PDF documents using JBIG2 compression. The sample is intended to show how to specify hint information for image encoder and is not meant to be a generic PDF optimization tool. PDFNet supports both loss-less and lossy JBIG2 compression. To give you a feeling of compression rates possible with PDFNet we re-compressed a document containing 17 scanned pages. The original input document is ~1.4MB and is using standard CCITT Fax compression. Loss-less JBIG2 compression shrunk down the file to 641KB. Lossy JBIG2 compression shrunk down the file to 176KB.

-
PDFView
This sample shows how to customize the viewer control by implementing
a number of custom tools (such as freehand tool, link creation tool,
rectangular zoom etc) and custom GUI elements (such as custom navigation
and printing). For a more introductory example of how to use PDFViewCtrl,
please see PDFViewSimple sample project.

-
-
PDFViewSimple
This sample shows how to use PDF viewer control in a basic
project. The sample uses a number of built-in features from PDFViewCtrl
to implement document navigation, text highlighting, markup, and
editing. If you are looking for a sample showing how to further
customize the viewer (e.g. by implementing custom tools or custom
GUI elements), please take a look at PDFView sample project. -
