Debenu has acquired iSEDQuickPDF (now named Quick PDF Library)
We’re very pleased to announce that Debenu has acquired the rights to the iSEDQuickPDF library (QuickPDF) from SEDTech (Pty) Ltd. Under Debenu the PDF library will be renamed Quick PDF Library and its new home will be www.quickpdflibrary.com.
Background
iSEDQuickPDF was first released in Q1, 2001 by SEDTech and over the years has become one of the most popular libraries for creating, manipulating, and rendering PDF files.
Whilst development slowed considerably over the past few years, we’re happy to say that it’s now under new management. We’ve been feverishly working on a new and updated Quick PDF Library release “behind-the-scenes” bringing version 5.11 to 7.12
