Hello World

Hello World Example

The simplest possible example. We made it a bit more interesting by encrypting it - the password is "password".

Form Completion

Demonstrates the Extended Edition feature of filling out a form in an existing PDF. Fill out the following fields for a simple example.

Name
Country source

Multiple Fonts

An example showing TrueType and Type 1 fonts, demonstrating kerning, ligatures and line justification.

Images

An example showing embedded GIF, JPEG and PNG images. The BFO library can handle all these plus TIFF, PNM and JPEG2000.

Unicode

An example containing the same phrase in 23 different languages, demonstrating the Unicode capabilities of the library.

Graphs

Things get even more interesting when you combine the PDF library with our old Graph library V1. This 24 page document shows what could be achieved. The new Graph Library V2 can do all this, plus lots more.

User Guide

The user guide for the library was actually created with our Report Generator. It demonstrates most of the features available in the library.

It not only met our needs in terms of being able to graph what we wanted, but has also been very reliable and efficient in terms of load times, scalability, and usability.
