It works equally well for application development and for process automation. The engine handles both vector and bitmap graphics file formats swiftly and surely. Use it to easily enhance your desktop, server or Web application with just a few command line or API/DLL calls.

We offer two levels of SDK - PDF Pro SDK Series and FLY SDK.

• The PDF Pro SDK comprises a family of value priced SDK's ideal for entry-level and small-scale internal or commercial development. These products are based on our robust FLY SDK engine. They accept PDF input and can output all major industry standard application, print and Web formats. The Pro SDK includes either 50 end-user runtimes or 3 limited production server licenses. The Pro+ SDK includes 250 end-user runtimes or 5 limited production server licenses. The PDF Pro SDK Series is not expandable but if use is projected to exceed these limits, an upgrade to the FLY SDK can be requested.  Products in the PDF Pro SDK Series include:

How FLY SDK Works

FLY SDK is very powerful conversion engine yet simple to integrate into your application code. Only two API calls are needed to convert to any of the vector or bitmap output formats, Below are two examples:

Convert 4dbar.ps to 4dbar.wmf using the ps2xxx.ini configuration file
VgPsLoadOptions(PS2XXX, "ps2xxx.ini");
VgPsConvert("4dbar.ps", "4dbar.wmf", PWMF, NULL);

Convert 4dbar.pdf to 4dbar.png using the pdf2xxx.ini configuration file
VgPsLoadOptions(PDF2XXX, "pdf2xxx.ini");
VgPsBitmapConvert("4dbar.pdf", "4dbar.png", PNG, NULL);

convert 4dbar.emf to 4dbar.svg using the emfxxx.ini configuration file
VgPsLoadOptions(EMF2XXX, "emf2xxx.ini");
VgEmfFileFlowTo("4Dbar.emf", SVG, "4Dbar.svg");
