GdPicture.NET

Computers have revolutionized the ways of working, entertainment, leisure, communication etc. in a big way. Organizations which used to store their important records in paper form have largely adopted computers for this purpose as it comes as a saving on space, portability costs and time to sort out the documents. But still, you may be having documents in the conventional paper form which you want to export or keep safe, for which you can not find any better means other than converting it into a soft copy. This can be easily done by a document imaging application which can be designed using GdPicture.NET v.8.0.4.

GdPicture.NET is a shareware software development kit for designing a document imaging application for converting a paper document into a soft copy. The developed application will be able to acquire images form TWAIN scanners, display documents, perform image processing, and recognize the characters using Optical Character Recognition technology built into the program. The program supports over ninety vector as well as bitmap image formats ranging from 1 to 128 bits which includes the formats like JPEG2000, JBIG2, PNG, TIFF, PSD and RAW. After this, all the documents can be exported into the PDF formats where the necessary splitting and editing can be easily done. The program has complete support for UNICODE format and the screen capture images can also be edited and integrated into the document. If you already have a PDF from which you can extract image or text, then you can easily do this by custom selecting the text region or image from the document.

GdPicture.NET v.8.0.4 is overall, a comprehensive Software Development Kit for developing a flexible and fully functional, professional usage application which is easy to use, leading it to score four rating points on the scale of five.
