Frequently asked questions
What annotation tools does Nutrient's PDF markup SDK provide?
The SDK offers a robust annotation system with quick access to a wide range of PDF tools via a customizable toolbar. Features include rich text and ink annotations, enhanced reusable stamps, a context-sensitive inspector for detailed control, and advanced options like `noZoom` and batch manipulation.
How does the SDK facilitate real-time collaboration on document markups?
The SDK supports real-time collaboration features that allow multiple users to edit and annotate documents simultaneously, with instant updates and version control. This ensures all collaborators have access to the most recent changes, enhancing teamwork and productivity.
What measurement tools are included in the SDK for technical annotations?
The SDK includes tools to accurately measure distances, angles, and areas within PDF documents. These tools support scaling and unit conversion, making them ideal for technical annotations in fields like architecture and engineering.
Can the SDK manage document security, such as applying permissions and digital signatures?
Yes, the SDK allows for the application of advanced document security measures — including customizable permissions, digital signatures, and encryption — to control access and ensure document integrity.
Is it possible to edit and manage metadata within PDFs using the SDK?
The SDK enables users to edit, add, and manage XMP metadata within PDFs, ensuring proper categorization and context for future use.
What platforms and development environments are compatible with Nutrient's PDF markup SDK?
The SDK is designed for cross-platform compatibility, supporting integration into web applications using JavaScript frameworks, as well as mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. It also extends support to React Native, Flutter, and MAUI, ensuring a consistent markup experience across devices.
How does the SDK handle offline usage and data synchronization?
For standalone web applications, annotations can be saved as XFDF or Instant JSON, allowing offline access and later synchronization when reconnected. In server-backed applications, real-time synchronization ensures all users have the most up-to-date annotations instantly.
What are the system requirements for integrating the Web form filling SDK into a web application?
Integrating the Web form filling SDK into a web application requires an AcroForms PDF with form fields, a web browser, and a JavaScript framework project.
To programmatically fill forms on the server side, you need a Docker environment (for Document Engine) and the necessary data in JSON format.
How does the Web form filling SDK handle different PDF form standards, such as AcroForms?
We provide extensive support for AcroForms, which is a widely used standard for PDF forms. The SDK allows users to interact with, fill out, and submit these forms directly within web applications. AcroForms support includes handling various form elements such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdown menus. Our robust rendering engine ensures forms appear accurately across all platforms, maintaining a consistent user experience.
Can web form fields be prefilled or dynamically populated from a server?
Yes, web form fields can be prefilled or dynamically populated.
What security features are included in the form filling SDK, and how is data handled?
We ensure security and data handling by providing robust authentication mechanisms, such as JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), to control access to document and form data. Additionally, our security features allow setting detailed permissions for document-level and annotation-level interactions, ensuring only authorized users can view, edit, or collaborate on documents.
What form submission options exist for server-side processing?
Document Engine provides several form submission options for server-side processing. You can import form data using Instant JSON or XFDF formats by sending a multipart request to the /build endpoint. Additionally, form data can be dynamically populated from a database or through API calls using these formats. These methods ensure secure and efficient form handling and submission.
