         - Limited Budget: As for their company, there are only limited financial resources available for this project. But they were looking for an experienced team and expertized SDK product that could help them address all of these challenges.



Explor PDF Library Manufacturers

 

Mr. Li discovered ComPDFKit through a Google search and requested a trial of our demo. Although their short product time, and being impressed with ComPDFKit's conversion quality and reasonable price, they wanted to look for the right technology provider and conducted further tests on other competitors such as Apryse, Foxit, Solid, etc.

         - Encoding issues: resulting in garbled text

         - Poorly rendered indents in paragraphs.
