Perform PDF form filling, populating fields with data from virtually any source 
activePDF Toolkit's allows PDF form fields to be populated with data from any source, including XML, while enabling end users to save filled-in PDF forms locally.

Flatten PDF form fields 
activePDF Toolkit form-flattening feature also removes the bloat from larger PDF forms- fields are stripped out and the content is left behind, dramatically reducing PDF file size.

Generate over 100 barcode types 
Toolkit's Barcode object enables end users to generate over 100 barcode formats. Barcodes can be added to new or existing PDFs, or exported as XML, affording the flexibility to easily integrate with existing business processes. 

Merge multiple PDFs into a single file 
Quickly combine, or merge, two or more PDF files with Toolkit. As an example, this feature could be used to combine multiple PDF reports into a single, navigable PDF file.

Secure PDF documents with 40, 128 bit and AES-128 encryption
activePDF Toolkit supports 40, 128 and AES-128 bit encryption used by the US Government. Toolkit also enables you to password protect PDF files, disable end-user printing, prevent copying of text and graphics, and more.

Digitally sign PDF files
Toolkit provides the ability to apply digital signatures to PDF files using certificates stored on a server. With Toolkit, end users can also create certificates on the fly, easily extending signing capabilities to every user in an organization.

Add PDF bookmarks and hyperlinks
Toolkit includes options for creating bookmarks or hyperlinks within PDFs, making it the product of choice for assembling large, complex PDF documents.

Add or extract PDF annotations
Toolkit lets users add or extract PDF annotations to any output PDF page or pages by simply defining the particular item.

Dynamically add file attachments to PDFs 
activePDF Toolkit allows developers to add any file attachment to a resultant PDF, quickly delivering the documents safely.

Extract or append individual pages to your PDFs 
Painlessly utilize Toolkit to append or extract pages to and from virtually any PDF within seconds, even in memory.

Add watermarks, headers, footers and page numbers
Toolkit's text width calculation routines make text placement within PDFs exact, allowing users to automatically apply standard text such as page numbers, headers and footers, or watermarks to a single page, range of pages or entire PDF documents.

Stamp images and text
Supporting set business rules, Toolkit enables stamping images or text into PDF documents, using any font available on a server, at any size or color, in any degree of rotation.

Convert over 40 image types directly to PDF 
Toolkit Professional includes comprehensive image stamping with native support for over 40 image types, allowing for precise placement of logos, images, or electronically represented signatures within PDF files.

Reduce PDF file size by consolidating duplicate objects
activePDF Toolkit will recognize the duplicate objects selected and consolidate them, resulting in more streamlined PDF output.

Linearize PDFs for faster web display
Toolkit has the ability to linearize, preparing a PDF document for byte-serving which allows for a more expedient PDF delivery.

Stitch multiple PDFs onto a single page
Toolkit's stitching technology allows you to import one or more PDF documents, combining them into a single PDF page. Previously labor-intensive applications, such as newsletters or classified advertisements, are simplified with this feature.

Generate PDF documents on the fly and in memory, adding text, images, drawing shapes and more
