    PDF Conversion SDK

    PDF Conversion SDK

    Visual Integrity Technologies

    Add PDF Features with 2 API Calls Open, Edit, and View PDF. All that's needed is two API calls and a configuration file. Within a day, you can add, open, import, edit and view PDF features in your app. When formats don't match one-to-one, the SDK neutralizes the differences. This includes adding cropping, fills, color management and fonts. The PDF Conversion SDK processes all PDF versions including ISO Standard PDF 2.0. Any PDF from file or print-ready memory is valid input. Conversions flow straight through without intermediate steps or compromised quality. No printer driver. The PDF Conversion SDK runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It supports .NET. Example code included. Removes redundant information & compresses data. This ensures great performance for fast web and application viewing. Search for objects and text strings. Convert PDF to your native file format. Change the contents of a PDF page. Extract images from PDF. Retrieve metadata from PDF (layers, geospecification, etc).
    Starting Price: $199 per year

    Elysium CADfeature
    Migrating CAD models does not have to be complicated or painful. CADfeature is designed to help you move CAD data from one system to another with features and drawings while maintaining associativity. Eliminate your migration woes and streamline the process with Elysium CADfeature. Go beyond just the model’s boundary representation and capture features, assembly relationships, associated drawings, and non-graphic properties of the complete model. Most CAD systems cannot read from/write to another format with full features. With CADfeature you can translate a model by the way it was designed. If you must change designs while preserving the design intent, then you do not have to be limited to geometry only. This will allow you to change and update your model as needed in a different CAD system. We have over 15 years of the migration experience. We recognize that every migration is unique and as a result, we built CADfeature to work for and with you alongside your process.

    CADObject
    CADObject is a unique development of "ExonIT" LLC which allows to create of application systems and WEB services that provide interaction between CAD and GIS apps. Creation and managing of project documentation exacting the customer's requirements. Decreasing the operational costs thanks to real-time updating of documentation. Maintenance of the history of the object lifecycle with instant access to the needed information in real-time. Integration with existing enterprises' systems. The main difference between CADObject and other similar products is, that in process of data exchange between CAD and GIS, CADObject creates an object data model whilst converting. During this process, all the standard graphic symbols are recognized, united into separate objects according to a certain classifier, and transferred to a spatial database. Each object has a specific entry in the database, which allows the development of analytical spatial solutions.
