Soft Xpansion attends the DMS EXPO 2009 in Cologne, Germany (September 15 – 17, 2009), Europe’s leading event for Digital Management Solutions. The company presents several solutions based on the EMC Documentum platform, as well as its products PDF Render Center and its PDF Xpansion SDK for software developers.
Bochum, Germany, September 12, 2009 — In the field of electronic documents, nowadays PDF may definitely be characterized as the file format that constitutes the most widespread standard for digitally based communication and teamwork. The importance of PDF is underlined by the fact that in July 2008, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the approved ISO 32000-1 standard based upon PDF 1.7. PDF has become an official ISO standard.
soft Xpansion allows for the high relevance of PDF. The company regularly publishes new versions of its PDF Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK enables software developers to seamlessly implement the creation, editing and display of PDF files into their own 32- and 64-bit applications.
The SDK may be used in Windows projects based upon different platforms (C++-, .NET or COM). It also includes ActiveX and .NET Controls and the possibility to implement viewing PDF documents in the Internet Explorer.
With the SDK functionality implemented, the end users do not need any other program to work with PDF files. It is completely independent and does not require any specific system components or any additional software that is not already included in the operating system.
The SDK consists of separate modules which may be bought and implemented separately. Thanks to this concept, soft Xpansion is able to offer a very flexible pricing system. With this system, the developer only pays for the components that are really needed. It can be used on any modern version of Windows: Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003 and 2000. 32-bit and 64-bit versions are
supported.
