Getting started with Document Engine
Document Engine is PDF server software for processing documents and powering PDF automation workflows. It operates as a headless service, enabling deployment within your own infrastructure or hosting through Nutrient. It works alongside our web and mobile frontend SDKs and offers developers a platform for managing the complete document lifecycle.
Document Engine can work standalone or with our SDKs. When running alone, it operates without external storage and handles document processing, conversion, and manipulation tasks. When integrated with Web SDK and mobile SDKs, it requires a database to manage document state and collaboration features.
Use cases
Document Engine can be used for a variety of use cases. Below are a few examples.
