Developer’s Description

By Gnostice Information Technologies

Manage PDF document and organization of VCL applications.

Gnostice PDFtoolkit is a component set for Borland Delphi and Borland C++Builder developers to help manage PDF documents from within application programs. PDFtoolkit supports filling and reading of PDF forms, compressing, securing, appending and merging of multiple PDF documents, stamping, building Table of Contents, setting bookmarks, and many more functions that can be performed on PDF documents. PDFtoolkit operates on existing PDF documents and can even create new ones by extracting pages from existing documents. With the help of PDFtoolkit developers can program powerful PDF document management functions that can be performed from within the business applications they develop, making the applications more efficient and independent of other external software. PDFtoolkit supports a whole range of PDF document management and manipulation functions that enable a developer to implement all PDF management tasks right within the application.

Benefits of using PDFtoolkit in business applications include: Ability to embed PDF management functionality into your applications, to get the required tasks done for users from within your applications; Errors in data acquisition down to zero with the built-in form processing capability; Read forms electronically and send the data directly to a database; Secure documents with encryption and allow only the intended audience to access them when the right passwords are provided; Make existing documents easier to navigate and browse by building a Table of Contents with links to pages by topic names.

The product does not work as advertised and no support.
Divecon99November 10, 2014
Pros
This installs easily into Embarcadaro C++Builder XE-3. It does render many, though not all, PDF pages to BMP files.
Cons
It does not handle any PDF with a colored mark or markings. It will extract some single pages of a PDF, but is unable to extract even 50% of the pages we have tested through 4 months of effort. Watermarks and stamps do not work at all. Technical support was spotty the first two months after we paid. The responses were semi-canned and they discussed their efforts - in areas we hadn't reported - while saying nothing about the problems we reported or any fixes, or work-arounds. Now, after 4 months, I can't get any response from them at all. Very expensive.
Summary
I am very unhappy with this product and would neither buy it again, nor recommend it to anyone. The cost was high to begin with, but then to have so many reported issues and then poor to zero technical support, the cost has risen out of sight. We have wasted months of work here trying to make this product work to simply extract pages from PDF documents. We started with their version 4 product and received the version 5 upgrade when it came out. The version 5 product was supposed to be better with the improved font rendering. It does extract and render many pages to BMP files, but it is still below 50% PDF pages. Version 5 now also eats vast amounts of memory, then crashes with Access Violations. I am still waiting for over 30 days for a response from technical support.... Not a fix, a RESPONSE.
