Chive Software are pleased to announce a new version of its Apoc PDF Toolkit, part a of its Apoc suite of products.

Apoc PDF Toolkit is a high quality software component that developers can add to their applications in order to manipulate existing PDF documents and create new PDF documents. Developed using Microsoft\\\'s .NET environment, this 100% managed code toolkit is compatible with any .NET application such as ASP.NET applications, Windows applications and Console applications.

This new version, version 3.0, adds the powerful feature of linearisation (web optimisation), and allows programmers to enable their applications to process any PDF file and optimise it for display over the Internet.

With just a few lines of code, a PDF can be web optimised, enabling any page within a large document to be viewed almost instantly from within a web browser without the need for the whole document to be downloaded first.

Apoc PDF Toolkit has been written to support version 1.4 of the Adobe PDF reference specification and supports the production of PDF documents to Acrobat version 5. It is backwards compatible with all previous versions of the PDF specification. The component provides the developer with a familiar and easy to use Document Object Model.

The Apoc PDF Toolkit compliments our Apoc XSL-FO PDF render component and can be used to by applications to post-process PDF documents rendered by the Apoc XSL-FO or any other PDF creation program.

The product ships with full documentation in an MSDN style help file together with variety of samples programs written in C# that demonstrate the power of the toolkit and its ease of integration.
