Add production-grade PDF capability to your application.
AiDO for Developers gives developers and ISVs a battle-tested PDF API, PDF SDK, and Web SDK on your deployment terms.
The engine behind PDF Architect, now licensable.
Building reliable PDF generation, manipulation, and processing into a software product is harder than it looks. Parsing edge cases, rendering fidelity, performance at scale, and commercial licensing terms all create risk. AiDO for Developers is the same engine that powers PDF Architect and PDFCreator, available as a licensable REST API, native SDK, and JavaScript Web SDK for integration into your own application, on your own infrastructure.
Why developers choose AiDO for Developers
Production-grade, proven engine
Made for enterprise deployments. Not a wrapper around an open-source library: a commercial-grade engine with documented edge case handling and enterprise support.
Three integration paths, flexible deployment
PDF API for cloud and server-side integration, PDF SDK for native application embedding, Web SDK for browser-based document workflows. Deploy on your infrastructure or ours.
Transparent pricing,
European data
Per-deployment or per-tier pricing with no per-page billing surprises. European vendor with GDPR-aligned data practices, important for ISVs serving regulated markets.
