We have just updated the samples page with a package of Perl samples to use with the ActiveX edition of Quick PDF Library.

Perl will only work with Quick PDF Library on Windows, though we hope to provide a cross-platform solution in the future.

If there are any other programming languages that you would like to see some samples for, leave a comment!

Quick PDF Library 7.25 beta 3 has been released and is ready for download and testing. This new beta includes updates to the CMap parser, improved memory handling for image decoding and various other updates to the library.

This beta release also includes the new Quick PDF Library Developer Guide that we mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

The 7.25 beta 3 installer can be downloaded from the button below.

Feedback! Any feedback large or small is appreciated. We’ll shortly be planning the next round of exciting new features for Quick PDF Library, so we’d really like to know what you want to see added to the SDK. Don’t be shy, email us at support@quickpdflibrary.com and have your say.

ARTS PDF Workshop, a Microsoft Excel add-on that lets you retrieve, manipulate, and print PDF information quickly and easily, has been upgraded to use Quick PDF Library as its core PDF engine. In addition the add-on is now also 100% free.

ARTS PDF is a sister business division of Quick PDF, which are both owned by Debenu.

ARTS PDF Workshop lets you view and update the properties of batches of PDF documents, including document info (title, author, subject and keywords), as well as document open options and security. It is a great tool for batch updating multiple PDF files at once.

The Excel add-on can be downloaded from the ARTS PDF Workshop page on www.artspdf.com.
