Overview
The Adobe PDF Library software development kit (SDK), fully compatible with Acrobat DC, is a low-level
library that contains a powerful set of C/C++ APIs. It allows the robust and proven functionality of Adobe
PDF to be embedded within custom software such as print publishing and other projects and processes
that require rich documents. Systems integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs), enterprise IT
developers, and others can leverage the core capabilities of the Adobe Acrobat® line of products to
develop low-cost, robust, and supported solutions.
The flexibility of the Adobe PDF Library allows developers to tightly embed Adobe PDF functionality
within client and/or server solutions. The library also provides a consistent, reliable, accurate, and
supported implementation of the latest Adobe PDF specification.
