Interactive Live Demonstrations
Business Cards
This interactive demo shows how PDFreactor can be used in an online Web-to-print application to process the layout and content of business cards.
The resulting printable PDF comes with crop marks and can directly be sent to a digital printer.
An image, dynamically generated using the Raster Image Output option, will show a preview of the resulting business card on-the-fly.
Dynamic Invoice
This demonstration shows how PDFreactor can be used to generate invoices on-the-fly. A form allows you to select articles and quantities from a fictional brewery.
The form will generate a XML file that is passed to PDFreactor via a Servlet. PDFreactor then converts the XML data by applying a XSLT style sheet and streams the result to a PDF document.
Raster Image Output
This interactive demo shows how the Raster Image Output option can be used to create images from your HTML documents.
You can generate quick previews or thumbnails as well as one long, continuous image that displays your document exactly like a screenshot from a browser.
