(Bochum, May 21, 2019) Soft Xpansion has launched version 14 of the PDF Xpansion SDK. It offers features to create and edit PDF, PDF/A and XPS documents, to display and print them, to convert between formats, and to export or/and import to/from other file formats. PDF Xpansion SDK 14 implements these features in Windows desktop (PC) applications as well as in Microsoft Store apps. The main new features of version 14 are components for FACTUR-X, ZUGFeRD 2.0 and for XRechnung, plus an API for the creation of ZUGFeRD 2.0 compliant XML files. With these data formats, the SDK implements eInvoicing into Windows applications so that the created electronic invoices comply both with the EU standard EN 16931 and with directive 2014/55/EU. ZUGFeRD combines a printable invoice (PDF/A-3 file as visual representation of the invoice data, a digital media format instead of the corresponding paper invoice) with an embedded XML file that presents the invoice data in a specifically structured way. PDF Xpansion SDK 14 additionally comes with new editing features in its Rich Edit API, with optimizations in the document layout functionality and with an enhanced support of the JavaScript DOM. Detailed information is available on the product page (https://soft-xpansion.com/dev-tools/developer-library-pdf-sdk-14-zugferd-facturx-xrechnung/). The page also offers a trial license that comes with a detailed product guide and an illustrative programming reference. Contact Soft Xpansion GmbH & Co.

(Bochum, Germany, April 25, 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). Thanks to the PDF Xpansion SDK 12 functionality, end users do not need any additional programs to create, edit and view PDF, PDF/A or XPS files with their Windows desktop programs, server solutions or apps for mobile devices. The prices for the components of the PDF Xpansion SDK 12 are based on lump sum fees that grant a permanent license. Prices neither depend on the amount of copies of the application, nor on the number of developers. Optionally, PDF Xpansion SDK clients may sign a maintenance agreement. This contract entitles them to download version updates free and to get more extensive product support. NEW FEATURES AT A GLANCE * Conversion of Microsoft Word files to PDF, while the conversion does not require installation of Microsoft Office or of a virtual printer driver * Conversion of HTML files and of web pages to PDF * Conversion of MathML files to PDF * Conversion of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files to PDF * Conversion of multipage TIFF files to PDF * Enhanced support for pen in PDF Viewer: delete/eraser mode and capability to set pressure sensitivity added * Support of bi-directional texts (including Arabic and Hebrew): search and export text, form fields in the viewer, etc. * Complete API for COM platform (Embarcadero environment and OLE Automation languages) * Improved performance, bug fixing ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Detailed information on the PDF Xpansion SDK 12 is available via the product page on soft-xpansion.com. The page also offers a trial license that comes with a detailed product guide and an illustrative programming reference for developers. MORE SOFTWARE BASED ON PDF XPANSION The SDK 12

(Bochum, Germany, March 3, 2017) – Soft Xpansion has launched a new version of its CAD Xpansion SDK for software developers of CAD, CAM, PDM and CAE applications: Previous versions of the SDK could be used to export STL, STEP and IGES files for a universal data exchange. The new version of the developer tool is additionally able to import 3D models and offers geometry recognition. STL is often described as the established de-facto standard format for 3D printing. STEP is an international standard, defined in ISO 10303, for the description and exchange of product data in CAD solutions. IGES is also a data format for data exchange between different CAD systems. Applications that support these formats provide the users with a high flexibility during their work with 3D models that have been created in different original (source) applications. The CAD Xpansion SDK provides a large number of program functions for the design of machine elements and assemblies in mechanical design, building construction, etc. It is also possible to create assemblies based on separate elements. New: Imoport & Geometry Recognition

• Import of any 3D CAD model from files in STEP, IGES, STL formats
• Display of the loaded model and basic visual operations like zoom, rotation, selection of model objects, delete objects, etc.
• Recognition of the geometry of 3D shaft models in mechanical design according to the German DIN 743
• Recognition of the shaft elements independent of DIN 743, determination of the general geometric properties
• Recognition of other part models in mechanical design while the library is developed further and is enhanced

Export of 3D-Models

• Creation of various 3D models in mechanical design and building units: basic geometric objects, shaft elements, pinions, bearings, bolts, screw-nuts, beams, etc. Full list of units currently supported can be seen in the CAD Xpansion SDK Guide & Reference document
• Export of created 3D models to the universal formats STL, STEP, IGES
• Creation and export of complex units using operations like transformation, subtraction, unification, intersection, etc.

Price and Availability The CAD Xpansion SDK can be ordered directly from Soft Xpansion. The base price is 1000,- EUR plus VAT, if VAT is applicable. Amounts for individually ordered parts will be added to the base price. If any part is not available in the current version of the library, it can be created on request according to the clients´ specifi
