BuildVu
BuildVu is a developer library that converts PDF files to HTML5 or SVG ahead of time, so documents are stored on your server as HTML and load page by page in any browser without plugins or downloads. It runs on-premises with no external callbacks and no internet connection required, so documents never leave your infrastructure. A managed cloud subscription is available if you’d rather not host it. IDRsolutions has been building PDF software since 1999, and the output is clean enough to edit directly, which is the point: you get HTML you can build on rather than a black-box viewer.

Trusted by thousands of developers, SelectPdf renders modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with full fidelity, so invoices, reports, statements, contracts, and tickets look exactly the way you designed them.
