ComPDFKit PDF SDK

 

ComPDFKit PDF SDK consists of two elements as shown in the following picture.

 

 

The two elements for ComPDFKit PDF SDK:

 

- PDF Core API

 

 A parser for PDF documents (also known as PDF Data layer) doesn’t include any UI components. If you just need to render a PDF document without displaying any content inside the PDF, you can just integrate this into your application.

 

- PDF View

 

The rendering library for PDF documents (also known as the PDF UI layer) relies on ComPDFKit-UI.aar. It is a visual operation logic package for page rendering, annotation operations, and form operations. You can customize page rendering and operations based on the file library.
