General Information
webPDF is a server application that uses web services (SOAP and REST) in order to provide functions for creating and processing PDF documents.
The server and the web services are implemented in Java. The webPDF server is based on an Apache Tomcat server in "embedded mode".
webPDF uses the OpenJDK on the operating system platforms Windows and Linux.
The server can be run as a Windows service, as a Linux daemon, or as a normal Windows or Linux (console) application.
The webPDF server allows access to its various services in two ways:
- As a portal for direct use by the end user
- As a native API in the form of web services (SOAP or REST) for integration into a developer's own applications
Together, these components make up the webPDF server.
