Single Logical Tree to work with five formats: PDF, DOCX, RTF, HTML and Text.
Implementation of any software features of a component will require minimal programming knowledge and a level of developer.
Many examples of code implementation make it easy to implement any task.
The writing of own classes to support PDF, RTF and DOCX formats in C# requires a lot of days of hard work and takes thousands C# code lines. Libraries will save a lot time and need only to add the reference to "SautinSoft.Document.dll" and write 5-7 C# code lines.
Flexible licensing and partnership opportunities
Pay a one time and can use Libraries for a whole life without any additional fees. License will never expires.
We provide sample projects, demos, API docs and more for every single feature to get you up to speed quickly.
We’ve thoroughly revamped our documentation, giving you new code examples and updates to developer guides.
Our products are developer-friendly: we put a lot of source code examples and cases so you can start using the new technology in minutes without reading the documentation.
Product updates are performed every two months.
SautinSoft team have over 17 years experience in the .Net software component market.
