Pedigree in PDF
Global Graphics has been developing and refining PDF creation tools from the inception of the PDF format in 1993 and is an expert in developing technology for page description languages (PDL's), including PostScript® and XPS (Microsoft®'s new XML based document technology).
Global Graphics' PDF products are based on a robust, high-quality PDF engine and we continue to implement the latest features and solutions around the open format PDF Specification.
Today Global Graphics' expertise in PDF extends across all of its technology offerings:
- PDF creation based on many years proven experience
