Document creation can be as simple as a blank PDF or it could be part of capturing content and combining it with a template PDF in order to streamline a report process.

PDFTron SDK benefits include:

• Create new documents from scratch or use existing documents as templates
• Copy page content (individual graphical elements) from one page to another
• Read/write a PDF document from/to memory buffer or a file on a disk
• Create new text, vector art and images
• Quick image embedding for TIFF, JPEG, and PNG
• Support for Type1, OpenType, TrueType, Type3, and CID Font embedding for accurate text reproduction
• Support for Unicode text and standard PDF encodings

• Full control over content positioning and all graphical attributes available in PDF
• Support for PDF patterns (colored and uncolored tiling patterns) and shadings (7 types)
• Support for image masks
• Reuse of resources such as images, fonts and color spaces through object sharing resulting in smaller and more efficient documents
• Intelligent element serialization resulting in small and efficient content streams
• Support for explicit and named destinations. Named destinations allow for changes to the document that will not invalidate existing bookmarks
