LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Developer Toolkit

Develop powerful document imaging applications with LEADTOOLS Document Imaging. Features include PDF viewing and editing, comprehensive image annotating, specialized bitonal image displaying, and image processing. Other features include performance and memory optimizations for bitonal images, document image cleanup, including inverted text, border, hole-punch, and line removal, and scanning with LEADTOOLS Fast TWAIN and WIA.

LEADTOOLS Document Imaging is the entry-level product for developing document imaging applications with LEADTOOLS. More advanced features including OCR, forms recognition, and HTML5/JavaScript viewing are available within more advanced toolkits and add-on modules within the Document Imaging Family.
