DynaPDF - More than just a PDF library

Features that leave nothing to be desired…

DynaPDF is the powerful and flexible solution for creating, editing, analyzing, and outputting PDF documents.

Creating PDF files is no longer a challenge these days. The range of PDF libraries is large and as long as no special requirements have to be met, simple solutions are sufficient, at least in theory.

But what happens when the requirements change and features are suddenly needed that nobody initially thought of?

If the supposedly “simple” solution doesn’t support it, you can start to integrate the entire PDF functionality again or, in the worst case, use two libraries.

Operating Systems,

Operating Systems

DynaPDF runs on almost all operating systems for which a C++ compiler available. However, pre-compiled binaries are available for the following platforms:

Windows x86, x64, arm64 (DLLs)
macOS x64, arm64 (Shared/Static)
Linux x86, x64, arm32, arm64 (Shared/Static)
Android arm32, arm64 (Shared Libraries)
iOS x64, arm64 (Static Libraries)

Licensing,

Licensing

DynaPDF is licensed per developer workplace. The number of end users or whether DynaPDF is used on client or server systems is irrelevant for the calculation of the license fee. A developer workplace refers to a person and not to the number of computer systems on which he or she is working on.

The delivery of DynaPDF is royalty-free, so there are no additional license fee, regardless of whether DynaPDF is linked statically or dynamically.

Each DynaPDF license includes one year of free software maintenance.

Programming Languages,

Programming Languages

DynaPDF can be used with C/C++, C#, Delphi, Lazarus, PHP, VB, VBA, and VB .Net. In addition, DynaPDF is also available as MBS Plugin at Monkeybread Software for FileMaker, Real Studio and Xojo.

With exception of the C/C++ interface, the DynaPDF API is encapsulated into a class. Since the classes consider the particular characteristics of the programming language, the usage is very easy and comfortable.

All language bindings are of course thread-safe and the interfaces are 64 bit compatible if the programming language supports it.

PHP Module,

PHP Module

All DynaPDF versions can be used with PHP 7 or higher. The PHP extension is a class module, therefore all methods and constants are bound to the class dynapdf. There are no global constants or functions that may conflict with other extensions. With very few exceptions all DynaPDF functions are available in the PHP extension.

The PHP extension is delivered with source codes so that own functions can be added if necessary. In addition to the normal DynaPDF functions a table class is available too. This class simplifies especially the creation of invoices and other tabular content.

Color Management,

Color Management

Color management is unfortunately still a book with seven seals for many users, but color management in PDF is actually quite simple. In order for colors to be displayed and printed correctly in a PDF file, only an ICC profile has to be attached to the file.

This is the so called output intent, or target color space. If the file is consistently created in RGB or CMYK, for example, we add an RGB or CMYK ICC profile accordingly.

More than one output intent is not required for correct color reproduction, provided that all objects use the same device color space.
