Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates the GS PDFFlow Library from other PDF generation libraries?
Expand-collapse icon

The GS PDFFlow Library isn’t just another PDF creation library. Unlike other libraries on the market right now, PDFFlow is a page making SDK that can be used in your application. We provide the functionality you’d find in Adobe InDesign, without the user interface. This removes the need for developers to be involved in the process and frees them up for more focused business needs. PDFFlow also improves PDF code readability and support, decreases errors in PDF documents, and saves your business (and developers) time and money.

This sounds complicated. Do I really need GS PDFFlow Library if I only need to create printable versions of an invoice in my application?
Expand-collapse icon

GS PDFFlow Library is not a complicated tool. It’s versatile and removes a lot of costs normally associated with PDF development. The library takes care of the content layout, TOC, pagination, and even book spread tables so you don’t need deep and thorough knowledge of PDF technology. This reduces the learning curve as you’re working with objects (such as, tables or images) that are easy to understand. Additionally, since the use of the library reduces the amount of code and potential errors, it’s exceptionally efficient even for small tasks.

Can I read and/or change an existing PDF document?
Expand-collapse icon

No, we do not provide functionality to work with existing PDFs. The sole purpose of GS PDFFlow Library is to offer an easy way to create simple and complex PDF documents when you need to provide a printable version for your needs or the needs of your end-users.

Do you provide mobile platforms support?
Expand-collapse icon

Yes, GS PDFFlow Library can be used for mobile platform applications. Contact us with any inquiries about mobile platform builds.

Can I use GS PDFFlow library in commercial applications?
Expand-collapse icon

Yes, GS PDFFlow Library is available for purchase for commercial use. We offer both volume based licenses and per server licenses. Also, we’re always open to discuss the licensing that works best for you. Contact us today to get more information on pricing!

Do I need a commercial license for Dev or QA Server?
Expand-collapse icon

No, we strongly believe in affordability. You only need to pay for the production server for your internal usage or external application. You can use free license for development and QA needs.
