Aspose.PDF Cloud .NET SDK enables developers to build PDF editor, converter, and creator applications for cloud platforms using C#, ASP.NET, or any .NET‑supported language. Distributed under the MIT license and based on the Aspose.PDF REST API, the SDK provides extensive capabilities for accessing and manipulating PDF elements stored in cloud storage. Developers can customize images, annotations, watermarks, stamps, form fields, and OCR layers of PDF documents. It supports PDF generation, digital signing, splitting, merging, conversion, and advanced document processing without requiring third‑party software installations. The SDK is designed for seamless integration, allowing quick setup using the App SID and key from Aspose Cloud, making it easy to start processing PDF files programmatically.

Features

Core PDF Manipulation

• Create, edit, and customize cloud‑hosted PDF documents.
• Access and modify images, annotations, watermarks, stamps, form fields, and OCR layers.
• Append multiple documents to an existing PDF.
• Split single PDF documents.
• Add tables to documents or remove all tables from a page or entire PDF.
• Read or delete tables by ID. Annotations & Properties
• Full support for annotation types including: text, circle, line, polygon, polyline, square, highlight, underline, squiggle, strikeout, caret, ink, link, popup, file attachment, sound, movie, screen, widget, watermark, TrapNet, printer mark, redaction, rubber stamp, and rich media.
• Set annotation flags: visibility, printing restrictions, magnification, rotation limits, read‑only mode, and more.
• Assign annotation states: marked, unmarked, accepted, rejected, canceled, completed, or none.
• Add, update, read, and delete document properties. PDF Conversion
• Convert PDF to XLS, XLSX, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, MobiXML, JPEG, EMF, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, SVG, XML, XPS, FDF, XFDF, and EPUB.
• Convert various formats to PDF including EPUB, HTML, LaTeX, MHT, PCL, DOC, MobiXML, PDF/A, PPTX, SVG, TIFF, XLS, XLSX, XML, XPS, PS, XSLFO, BMP, EMF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF.
• Convert PDFs with XFA forms to PDFs with AcroForm.
• Choose between Textbox mode (layout‑preserving) and Flow mode (editable output) when converting PDFs to Word documents. Security & Protection
• Encrypt or decrypt PDFs and change document passwords.
• Set access privileges such as printing, degraded printing, content modification, copying, and form‑filling permissions.
• Add text or image headers/footers.
• Add, update, or delete text; replace single or multiple instances of text across pages. Extraction & Optimization
• Extract document images as GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF to a folder.
• Extract annotations (file attachments, screen, sound, stamp) to a specified folder.
• Optimize PDFs by compressing images, reusing page content, linking duplicate resource streams, removing unused objects and streams, and avoiding font embedding.
