Apache PDFBox
Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working with PDF documents.
PDF-XChange Editor
Our business began in 1997 as ‘Tracker Software Products Ltd’ to develop document management and imaging-related software. These products included TIFF and PDF digital conversion utilities that enabled the conversion of many document formats to TIFF and PDF for subsequent archiving within document management products. These standalone conversion applications quickly proved their worth and we made the decision to concentrate on the development of these utilities for the end-user and third-party software developer markets.
