Get PDFTextStream
PDFTextStream for Java or .NET may be downloaded and used for free (gratis), or licensed. It delivers the same accuracy, API, and PDF compatibility in either case.
If you do not purchase a PDFTextStream license, then you will only be able to use PDFTextStream in single-threaded applications. Specifically, you will not be able to read more than one PDF file at a time; attempts to open more than one PDF file at a time from multiple application threads will result in an error.
This limitation is lifted once you purchase PDFTextStream and deploy it with a license file.
PDFTextStream may not be redistributed under any circumstance, except with an OEM license.
License Agreement
Whether you download a PDFTextStream bundle, or obtain PDFTextStream through our Maven repository, doing so is acknowledgement that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by the PDFTextStream license agreement (included in all downloaded bundles).
Download bundles
PDFTextStream bundles contain everything you need to evaluate and use it: binaries, sample code, and extensive documentation.
