Xenos d2e Vision PDF Parser

The innovative Xenos d2e Vision PDF Parser component processes Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.0 to 1.6 (Acrobat 7.0 or earlier) input files. Written 100% in Java by Xenos, the d2e Vision PDF Parser supports full indexing from anywhere in the document, full font correlation, rich functionality and faster performance than rasterized solutions.

The Xenos d2e Vision PDF Parser features full Double Byte Character Support including outline fonts and mixed Latin and double byte characters for Chinese, Japanese or Korean language documents. Indexes can be extracted from DBCS data and used, provided that the retrieval application has a way to read them that uses XML or binary with UTF 8 encoding, or an escape character sequence.

PDF Parser Applications

Print

Reduce costs and save time, by eliminating the inefficient use of many slower desktop printers to print files in PDF
Repurpose large volumes of existing PDF files by transforming them to AFP format
Leverage your investment in existing high-volume AFP printers
Fidelity similar to the original PDF, assuming the corresponding AFP font resources are available and/or color capability exists on the AFP printer

Archive and Electronic Content Management

Extract index information from anywhere in a PDF input file
Separate the file into individual PDF documents
Load PDF files to archive or ECM systems and for viewing in PDF format. These documents can also be separated into individual smaller PDF files.
For PDF to PDF applications, value added functions such as bookmarks for easier document navigation, URL links for 1-to-1 marketing and standard Acrobat 128-bit encryption for document security and fraud protection
Transform PDF files to TIFF for loading archives requiring this image format

Supported Formats

Adobe PDF 1.0 to 1.6 files (Acrobat 7.0 or earlier), including those generated by the d2e Platform and d2e Vision PDF Generators.
