Security
Take advantage of full encryption and decryption, password encryption, certificates — or, bring-your-own security handler. Support for Standard PDF security handler (40 and 128 bit RC4), 128 bit AES encryption, and 256-bit AES encryption.
Attachments & associated files
Create and edit document attachments, or associate files together. Associating files lets you associate content in other formats with objects of a PDF file and identify the relationship between the PDF content and the objects.
Asynchronous loading
For large files, allow the first PDF pages to be loaded asynchronously, without having to load the whole document, which would normally take a very long time to load.
Reflow
Rearrange page content when the page size changes. This is useful for applications that have to prepare for the same layout to display on multiple devices. Create, render, release, and access properties of reflow pages.
Barcodes
Generate barcode bitmaps from a given string. Support for 1D barcode: Code39, Code128, EAN8, UPCA, EAN13, ITF; 2D barcode: PDF417, QR.
Layers
Render all PDF layers of a document, traverse the layer tree, and set the visible state of every PDF layer to show or hide its contents.
