High-Performance PDF Generation
Next-gen engine delivering industry-leading processing speed and layout fidelity for HTML-to-PDF and API-based table generation.
Transparent & Competitive Pricing
Per-platform / per-feature licensing with no hidden volume limits — delivering a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership.
Clean Commercial License
100% independently developed IP with a straightforward commercial license. Zero AGPL viral risks, zero surprise true-up fees.
Full-Cycle SDK with Built-in UI
Industrial-grade UI library enabling generate → display → annotate → edit workflows out of the box. No extra front-end dev required.
ComPDF vs iText: Side-by-Side Comparison
Beyond feature parity, teams evaluate licensing risk, total cost, integration speed, and support quality.
| Criteria | ComPDF | iText |
|---|---|---|
| Document Generation | Next-gen high-precision engine with dynamic PDF generation, complex logic support, and native API table creation. | Traditional architecture; robust but less flexible for complex layouts and modern AI integration. |
| Licensing & Cost | Transparent per-platform pricing with no hidden volume limits. Highly competitive TCO. | Per-server / per-doc / per-user billing with AGPL open-source viral risks. High compliance costs. |
| Cross-Platform UI | Built-in industrial-grade UI library for a complete generate–display–annotate–edit workflow. | Engine-only — no front-end layer. Teams face months of additional UI development cost. |
| Dev Efficiency | Modern API design, comprehensive docs, and highly responsive 24/5 technical support. | Steep learning curve with legacy APIs. Premium support requires expensive additional fees. |
| Compliance Risk | Clean commercial license with fully independent IP. Zero open-source compliance pitfalls. | Dual AGPL/Commercial licensing prone to legal risks, cumbersome audits, and surprise true-up fees. |
