PSPDFKit 3
Quickstart Guide
Introduction
Exceptional speed, dependable, and customizable! With advanced enterprise-class features such as An-
notations, Forms, or the Document Editor, PSPDFKit can improve any app.
The Component Stack
PSPDFKit’s components are built on top of each other. Starting with the Core Viewer, as the foundation
of our framework, you can add on Annotations. The Forms component is built on top of Annotations, as
a specialized annotation type.
The Indexed Full-Text Search and Document Editor components are self-contained.
Indexed Full-Text Search
Our indexed search engine allows users to
search across multiples documents, languag-
es and encoding types to display near-instant
results and can be added on to any of the above
component combinations.
The Document Editor
The Document Editor allows users to access a
whole host of page editing features, including
new page creation, page duplication, reordering,
rotation or deletion, as well as creating a new
document from pages selected across multiple
existing documents.
