pdfaPilot SDK
pdfaPilot SDK lets you build robust PDF/A conversion and validation straight into your own application, with the same engine that powers the desktop, server and command-line editions.

The software is theirs. The workflow is yours.
The SDK is a foundation. The value comes from how it fits your product and your release process. We advise on the integration and support you through it. That is the part we do.
- Builds and maintains pdfaPilot
- Sets the PDF/A conversion and validation technology
- Owns the product roadmap

- Advises on the right fit for your workflow
- Sets it up and connects it to your systems
- Handles licensing, SMA and renewals
- Supports it after go-live
Build PDF/A into your own software
Three things the pdfaPilot SDK gives your developers.
A library to embed
Add PDF/A conversion, validation and repair to your product with a documented interface and sample code.
The full engine
Get the same conversion and validation behavior as the desktop and server editions, under your own control.
Standards support
Produce and check PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3, so your application meets archiving requirements.
We start from your jobs, not from the software
Analyze
We map how your work flows today and find where the time goes.
Consult
We size the pdfaPilot SDK setup you need, and tell you where it is not the right tool.
Implement
We install it, connect it to your systems, and document it so your team can own it.
Support
We stay after go-live: support, SMA renewals, and the next step worth automating.

For your product
The pdfaPilot SDK exposes the same engine as the rest of the range through a documented API, so what you build behaves exactly like the tools your customers already know.
- Documented API and sample code
- Same engine as Desktop, Server and CLI
- PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3
- Cross-platform
Licenses and maintenance
- A license sized to the volume and modules you need
- Every new license comes with an annual software maintenance agreement (SMA)
- We handle renewals, upgrades and license moves
- Setup and integration are quoted separately
