Gnostice PDFtoolkit is a comprehensive and versatile PDF component suite for Delphi™ and C++Builder®. PDFtoolkit VCL components come with hundreds of functions and properties that put immense power in the hands of the developer. PDFtoolkit hides the complexity of the PDF format and allows developers to easily create applications that can edit, enhance, secure, merge, split, view, digitally sign, and print PDF documents and process PDF forms. PDFtoolkit can extract text, export to images, and also add digital signatures. PDFtoolkit does not require PDF software such as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or GhostScript.

Whenever a developer tries to use a component or a tool that renders text, then he/she has to deal with fonts. Whether the component is a GUI control such as a text label or a text box, or a non-GUI component that renders text on a printer canvas, it must be able to process fonts. Here, the choice of fonts that can be used with the component is limited to those that are installed on the system and also by the font types supported by the run-time environment (.NET and JRE). What if you wanted to use a font that is not installed or if you wanted to use a font type that is not supported by the run time?
