Gnostice PDFtoolkit is a comprehensive and versatile PDF-processing suite for Delphi & C++Builder.

PDFtoolkit can be used to edit, enhance, secure, merge, split, view, digitally sign, and print PDF documents. PDFtoolkit can perform page-elements parsing, text extraction, text search, export to images, and digital signing. PDFtoolkit can fill and/or flatten PDF form fields. It can also add watermarks, bookmarks and annotations to PDF documents.

PDFtoolkit components come with hundreds of functions and properties that put immense power in the hands of the developer. PDFtoolkit hides the complexity of the PDF format and enables developers to quickly develop applications with PDF-processing abilities. PDFtoolkit does not require PDF software such as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or GhostScript.
