PDF Creation Library Adds True Type Font and Unicode Support

absolutePDF just released absolutePDF-Creator Easy 1.4, the PDF generation library from any Windows programming environment. This new release adds True Type Font support for fully Unicode aware PDF documents.

(PRWEB) November 2, 2006 -- absolutePDF just released version 1.4 of its PDF generation library absolutePDF-Creator Easy.

With this new release the library becomes fully Unicode aware, and gains True Type Font support to enhance the ability to create any kind of PDF document from Windows applications. Now programmers have a powerful yet really inexpensive tool to generate PDF documents from within their software, with full control on the final appearance of the documents.

Feature list

- add text (color, rotation, font)

- add simple shapes (boxes, ellipses)

- add images

- resize and resample images

- use existing PDF as a background

- use TTF fonts

- full Unicode support

Highlights

The unique "Import background from PDF" feature greatly reduces layout development time. The developer is able to create a complex background using the tools of his choice (e.g. with Openoffice.org or MS Office), save it as a PDF file and use it as a precompiled background for any page in the PDF document. Then text and other variable elements in the final document (e.g. invoice, receipt, etc) can be easily added getting them from a database or from user input.

Extensive VB, VC++ and VB.NET samples and online manuals are included, and a friendly support team is usually ready to answer all questions and help solve startup and subsequent implementation problems.

The control is an ActiveX COM DLL compatible with any COM aware development environment like VB, VC++, .NET and ASP, for web server deployment.

With an interesting pricing, ranging from a few dollars for a single workstation deployment up to an affordable royalty free license for unlimited redistribution, absolutePDF is tackling again the competitive world of PDF creation.
