In the latest V4.7.1 release of the ComPDF website, we have launched our new brand service ecosystem, evolving from ComPDFKit (PDF SDK & Conversion SDK) and ComIDP to ComPDF SDK, ComPDF Cloud, and ComPDF AI.

 

This upgrade is more than just a product name update; it signifies our strategic evolution from a tool provider to an integrated Document technology service. It represents our commitment to providing customers with a complete, end-to-end PDF solution—from development integration and cloud processing to intelligent analysis—through a clearer structure and more focused capabilities. This empowers businesses to build continuously evolving competitiveness in the digital document domain.

 

 

The Three Core Products of the ComPDF Brand

 

  1. ComPDF SDK: The Cross-Platform PDF Development Engine

 

ComPDF SDK delivers native PDF processing capabilities for every major development platform and framework. Whether you are building web applications, mobile apps, desktop software, or server-side solutions, our SDK provides consistent, high-performance PDF functionalities. From document generation and editing to conversion, form processing, and security features, our SDK eliminates the need to combine multiple libraries or develop complex PDF features from scratch, accelerating your time-to-market and reducing development costs.

 

Below is a breakdown of the SDKs available across different platforms:

 

Category Server PDF SDK Mobile PDF SDK Desktop PDF SDK Web PDF SDK
Platform / Framework Java SDK Android SDK Windows SDK Web SDK
.NET SDK Flutter SDK Mac SDK  
C++ SDK iOS SDK    
PHP SDK React Native SDK    
Python SDK      

 

  1. ComPDF Cloud: Cloud-Based PDF Service Solution

 

ComPDF Cloud offers API-based PDF processing services that scale according to your needs. Whether you require occasional PDF conversions or high-volume document processing, our cloud platform delivers reliable, secure PDF functionalities without the overhead of infrastructure management.

 

Core Advantages:

 

  • Open API: Enables Highly Flexible Integration

ComPDF Cloud provides standardized RESTful APIs, allowing PDF functionalities to be easily integrated into any application system, regardless of programming language or operating platform, significantly boosting development efficiency.

 

For enterprises with strict requirements for security, compliance, or data residency, we offer a self-hosted deployment option. This ensures data remains entirely under the enterprise's control while still leveraging ComPDF's enterprise-grade PDF processing capabilities, achieving dual guarantees of security and performance.

 

  1. ComPDF AI: The New Era of Intelligent Document Processing

 

ComPDF AI represents the convergence of traditional PDF technology and artificial intelligence, offering intelligent document processing that understands content, extracts information, and builds knowledge from unstructured documents.

 

Three Core Functions:

 

  • Intelligent Document Parsing: Going beyond simple text extraction, our AI-powered engine understands complex document structures, recognizes tables and graphics, preserves formatting, and converts complex PDFs into structured data formats like JSON and Markdown. This enables downstream AI systems to process PDF/image content as natively digital data.

 

  • Intelligent Document Extraction: Utilizing advanced Key-Value Pair (KVP) techniques and natural language processing, ComPDF AI identifies and extracts specific information from documents—invoice amounts, contract clauses, personal information, etc.—with human-like accuracy and machine speed.

 

  • Enterprise Knowledge Base: Transform document collections into intelligent knowledge bases. The ComPDF AI Knowledge Base feature allows organizations to upload SOPs, product documentation, research papers, and any other materials, then empowers teams to ask questions and receive accurate answers with source citations. Supported file formats: .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .xls (Excel 97~2003), .ppt, .pdf, .txt, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .csv, .json.
