PDFixa Pro

Everything in Core, plus the features production systems need.

PDFixa Pro extends the deterministic Core engine with advanced capabilities required for large-scale and international document generation.

PDFixa Core remains fully usable for many projects.
PDFixa Pro is designed for teams running PDF generation in production environments.

Built on the same Core

PDFixa Pro is not a separate engine.

It builds directly on top of PDFixa Core.

That means:

Same API design
Same deterministic output
Same document model
Same performance characteristics

You start with Core and upgrade only when your requirements grow.

Start with Core

Most developers start with PDFixa Core.

You can generate real documents in just a few lines of code:

try (PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument()) {

    PdfPage page = doc.addPage();

    page.drawTextBox(
        72, 750, 400, 24,
        "Invoice #12345"
    );

    doc.writeTo(new FileOutputStream("invoice.pdf"));
}
