The PDF API can be used to create new documents or edit, encrypt, decrypt, merge, split, reorganize, bookmark, annotate, watermark, and stamp existing PDF documents. It can also process PDF forms (Acroforms) by creating, editing, filling, and flattening PDF form fields. The API hides the complexity of the PDF format and enables developers to quickly implement sophisticated PDF features.
