Gnostice PDFtoolkit is a versatile PDF component suite for Delphi/C++Builder developers. PDFtoolkit VCL components come with hundreds of functions and properties that put immense power in the hands of the developer. PDFtoolkit hides the complexity of the PDF format and allows developers to easily create applications that can edit, enhance, secure, merge, split, display, and print PDF documents and forms. PDFtoolkit does not require PDF software such as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional or Ghostscript.
Note: PDFtoolkit works on existing documents. For creating new PDF documents in Delphi or C++Builder, you can use eDocEngine VCL or Print2eDoc SDK. For other platforms, we have PDFOne .NET and PDFOne Java, which can create PDF documents from scratch as well as modify existing PDF documents. We also have an ActiveX component suite called Gnostice PDFtoolkit ActiveX that does everything that Gnostice PDFtoolkit VCL does.
Please provide your name and e-mail address so that we can send you information related only to your download. You will not be contacted for any other purpose. We will not give your e-mail address to anyone else in any situation.
June 23, 2009 - Version 3.2 does not support C++Builder (any version) and Delphi 5. If you use these IDEs, please continue to use PDFtoolkit v3.0.2. We plan to restore support for Delphi 5 and C++Builder in the next update.
Trial versions have the following limitations.
