Hi!
We’ve just released new version of Docotic.Pdf library.
The version 2.3 adds support for image extraction. Now the library can be used to extract embedded images from PDF documents. Images are extracted without any modifications or recompressions so you’ll get the same data as used in a document.
Another new feature is ability to extract or copy pages from existing documents. With this feature it’s possible to split a PDF in pages or make a copy of a PDF with only those pages that are needed.
Read about other new features and improvements in Docotic.Pdf 2.3 in Version History document.
As always, we encourage you to download and try the new version.

Hello!
We in Bit Miracle understand that developers do work on free projects. Whether it an application for a charitable organization, a student’s thesis or just free side project it may benefit from a good PDF library sometimes. But what would you do if there is no budget for a paid solution?
You may find some free PDF libraries out there but they may be of low quality. Or you may find some free open-source PDF solution and begin thinking about how to use GPL / LGPL / AGPL licensed code in your closed source application.
We want to ease your work and so I am glad to announce that Docotic.Pdf Library is free for non-commercial use starting from version 2.2. We believe that it may be useful for developers searching for a good PDF library that provides high quality features and does not require you to make source code of your application open for everyone.

Hello!
We are happy to announce the release of a new version of Docotic.Pdf Library.
The version 2.2 adds support for Forms Data Format files (FDF files). Now you can use Docotic.Pdf Library to import a form data from an FDF file or export data from your form into an FDF file for farther processing. Also, the PDF library now creates better looking PDF forms because we fixed some bugs in code related to form creation.
Another improvement we are proud of is speed. We made some optimizations and now the library performs up to 40 percent faster.

As always, we encourage you to download and try the new version.

Hi!
We’ve just released new version of LibTiff.Net library. This version contains some bug fixes, new sample and new OJPEG codec (only decompression).
Initially we were reluctant to add this codec to the library because Old-style JPEG encoding (as defined in the TIFF 6.0 specification) is considered obsolete but it turned out that our users need such codec. Some applications (scanners and faxes, mostly) still produce images encoded with OJPEG encoding. Hopefully, now LibTiff.Net will help more users get their job done.
As always, you can download binaries or source code package with tests here:

Please don’t hesitate to contact us using e-mail or via the support form. We’ll be happy to hear about your findings with this version. And we’ll be glad to receive any file that can not be processed by the library.

Hi everybody!
We in Bit Miracle believe in knowledge and expertise sharing. So, I am pleased to announce that we have published a new article on Codeproject site.
The “Creating documentation for a .NET component with Sandcastle Help File Builder” article is about creating documentation within your code. The article also shows how to write additional topics and compile the help file using Sandcastle Help File Builder.
Good documentation is an important part of a successful product. Creating full and comprehensive description of functions and capabilities of a software product or component takes time and patience. In the article mentioned above I described some practical aspects of creating documentation for .NET components.
Please read “Creating documentation for a .NET component with Sandcastle Help File Builder” on Codeproject site. I hope that you will find some useful tips in the article.

Hello!
Last year we released free and open source LibTiff.Net library. The library is a port of original libtiff library and we thought that you may be interested to know how we have ported the code from C to C#.
So, we have published “Adapting old code to new realities” article on Codeproject site. The article describes a useful technics for transforming old-style C/C++ code to fully managed C# code. These methods were used for porting classic libjpeg and libtiff libraries to .NET Framework.
Please read “Adapting old code to new realities” on Codeproject site. We hope that you will find the article interesting.

There are plenty of libraries for PDF processing. They all have some advantages and disadvantages. Some of them can open PDF documents very fast, some libraries can create well-looking documents, and some are quite low-level and allow you to create form fields rotated to 45 degrees. In this article I show you why Docotic.Pdf is an excellent alternative to other similar components.
Each good library must encapsulate all complexity and provide handy API for client. PDF Reference itself has more than 1300 pages and it’s often quite hard to understand all the details. Our target was to give our clients extremely clean API, but to keep all power of PDF at the same time. Look at some examples, isn’t they are really simple?
