Winnovative Next Core PDF API for .NET (Windows x64)

Overview

The Core PDF API component of the Winnovative PDF Next Library for .NET provides a powerful API for programmatically creating, manipulating and securing PDF documents.

You can generate PDF documents by adding text, images and other graphical elements and enhance them with advanced features such as encryption, permissions, digital signatures, custom headers, footers, stamps and other document processing options.

The library targets .NET Standard 2.0 and can be used in .NET Core and .NET Framework applications deployed on Windows and Linux platforms, including Azure App Service, Azure Functions and Docker.

This package includes only the Windows x64 runtime. Separate packages are available for Linux or multi-platform runtimes.
