PurePDF is a complete library for creating PDF documents using actionscript 3 ( targeted for flash player 10 ). The project is actually hosted on google code at this address:http://code.google.com/p/purepdf/
This is is a porting I’ve made of the famous java iText library ( version 4.2 ) by Bruno Lowagie into pure actionscript 3.0 (with some little modifications). iText ( and purePDF ) has tons of features for create and manipulate pdf documents. A quick list of the features actually implemented into purepdf:
- pdf viewers display options
- alpha transparency, blend modes
- layers
- arabic RTL writing
- support for pdf text rendering ( example )
- tables ( nested tables, page split tables, table with images, etc…)
- slide show ( page transitions )
- annotations, comments, file annotations
- patterns, shadings patterns (linear and gradient), spot colors, rgb color and cmyk color
- linear and radial gradients with alpha ( example or example 2 )
- forms (user input forms, textfields, combo box, list, checkbox)
- paragraphs, phrases, chunks for text manipulation, chapters, lists…
- images (jpeg, png, animated gif, tif, bitmapdata, wmf ) and image patterns
- basic and advanced paths
- afm, otf, pfm, ttc and ttf fonts (embedded and not embedded)
- metadata, page header and footers
- external, internal links
- barcodes creation ( ean-ucc 13, ucc-12, ean-ucc-8, upc-e, pdf 417, ean supplements) ( example )
- unicode, cjk fonts and text
