activePDF Server is a combination of COM Object and NT Service that can redirect output from virtually any server-based Windows application to PDF. With 3 simple method calls, you can dynamically generate PDF from Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Clarion, Delphi and a host of other products. And if your development environment does not have native printing support (e.g. Active Server Pages), the activePDF Printer and activePDF WebGrabber products can fill in the gaps.

Version 3.8 features significant enhancements in the performance, speed, and overall reliability of activePDF Server. Encompassing a complete architectural restructure that significantly decreases the number of processing steps required while increasing reliability and consistency.

Both activePDF DocConverter and activePDF WebGrabber 3.8 versions feature significant improvements in performance, speed, and overall reliability, as well as several enhancements.
