Documentation

Accurate, Reliable & Fast

Have confidence that all documents will output quickly and flawlessly, even at 1GB+ or 10,000+ pages. Display PDFs quickly by streaming individual pages or tiles without a full file download.

Client-side or Server-based

Let users view, annotate, fill forms, and edit PDFs -- all entirely client-side, in a native app or any modern browser, including offline. Embed into any self-hosted Linux- or Windows-based workflow.

Fully Customizable UI/UX

Increase adoption and productivity by simplifying the open source UI. Match your desired look and feel. Hide unnecessary features -- or add custom annotations that trigger workflows.
