(Bochum, Germany, April 24, 2017) - Soft Xpansion has released version 12 of its PDF Xpansion SDK. The toolkit enables software developers to embed PDF, PDF/A and XPS document functionality in their applications. It offers rich features to create and edit these documents, to display them or print to paper, and to convert files between these formats. Finally yet importantly, various options for the export to and for the import from other file formats are available. The conversion of Microsoft Word, of html files and of web pages to PDF counts among the central new features of the PDF Xpansion SDK 12. Other new source formats for the conversion to PDF are MathML, SVG and multipage TIFF files. Apart from that, the new SDK supports bi-directional texts (including Arabic and Hebrew) and includes a complete API for COM platform (Embarcadero environment and OLE Automation languages).
