Pegasus Imaging offers imaging software development toolkits that include both .NET controls and ActiveX COM controls. They are strategically included within the same download as a single purchase to accommodate .NET developers, COM developers, and those moving legacy imaging applications to .NET. Pegasus Imaging provides the most advanced implementation of .NET imaging technologies in the industry, closely following established standards without sacrificing performance.

Pegasus Imaging’s .NET imaging controls can be loaded into Windows Forms projects in Visual Studio .NET 2002 and above. The ActiveX COM controls can be used by a variety of host environments, including Visual Studio (VB6 or Visual C++), Delphi, Web (HTML), Access, and FoxPro.

Every Pegasus Imaging .NET component is a single managed assembly that does not wrap existing COM objects and includes a single file distribution to efficiently support XCOPY deployment. The second generation .NET components (including PDF Xpress v2, ISIS Xpress v2, ScanFix Xpress v5, SmartScan Xpress Barcode v4, ImagXpress v8 and NotateXpress v8) are implemented the way .NET components are intended, with interface layers built entirely with managed code using C#. They provide object-oriented application programming interfaces, typed exception handling, .NET compliant event handling, and IDisposable interface support for deterministic destruction of unmanaged resources such as bitmaps. These .NET controls include API naming that follows the established Microsoft .NET Design Guidelines for Class Library Developers, and they verify security permissions through assembly manifest attributes. They provide context-sensitive Help that integrates with all versions of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

If you are a .NET or COM developer, consider the following products:

ImagXpress v8 - The Comprehensive Imaging Toolkit
ImagXpress is Pegasus Imaging's comprehensive image processing toolkit designed for document imaging, forms processing, photo and color imaging application development. Delivered as a .NET component and COM control, this imaging toolkit delivers the fastest processing speeds available.

PDF Xpress™ v2 - The PDF Support Toolkit
Build applications supporting PDF file creation and viewing, using licensed Adobe® technology. PDF Xpress is delivered as both a Microsoft .NET component and an ActiveX COM control. Create new PDF documents, and split, merge, insert, move and delete pages from existing PDF documents. Extract text and use PDF Xpress features to return location and context of text search results. Read, modify, and delete document metadata, annotations, bookmarks, and thumbnails. PDF Xpress empowers developers requiring PDF support within applications.

OCR Xpress™ - The Full-Page OCR Toolkit
OCR Xpress delivers fast and accurate full-page optical character recognition (OCR) to software developers in .NET and ActiveX COM toolkits. Use OCR Xpress to add full-page text recognition, auto rotate, and searchable document creation to your application. This software development kit (SDK) also supports deskew, binarization, character position information, and segmentation of documents into image and text elements. It supports output to multiple text and text-plus-image formats including Microsoft® Word®-compatible RTF files and standard Adobe® PDF files.

FormSuite™ v1.1 - Forms Processing Toolkit Suite
FormSuite packages Pegasus Imaging’s forms processing components into one convenient download and one discounted purchase. All forms processing components are designed to communicate with one another using memory-to-memory data transfers. A FormSuite purchase includes FormFix Professional v3, SmartZone OCR Professional v1, ScanFix Xpress Bitonal v5.1, ImagXpress Document v8, and the FormAssist demonstration application including source code in C# for .NET developers.

FormFix® v3 - Forms Processing and OMR Toolkit
FormFix delivers both .NET and ActiveX COM components offering bitonal template-based form identification, form registration, form drop out, and OMR technology to developers of forms processing applications. Highly flexible and optimized for speed, FormFix’s superior form recognition and form registration improve ICR, OCR, and OMR accuracy. It easily interfaces with Pegasus recognition engines (see FormSuite), and with any recognition engine supporting memory-to-memory data transfers. ImagXpress and ScanFix Xpress are included with FormFix for image handling, advanced image cleanup, and TWAIN scanning.

SmartZone™ - Zonal ICR and OCR Toolkit
The SmartZone ICR / OCR software development toolkit (SDK) provides zonal ICR (hand-printed, intelligent character recognition) and zonal OCR (machine-printed, optical character recognition) technology for use within either .NET or ActiveX COM development environments. Commonly used in forms processing applications, this toolkit internally employs multiple independent recognition techniques to verify results and improve accuracy. ImagXpress Standard and ScanFix Xpress Lite are included with SmartZone for image handling, image cleanup, and TWAIN scanning.

Barcode Xpress™ v5 - High-Speed Barcode Recognition Toolkit
Detect, read, and write 1D and 2D barcodes. Barcode Xpress is designed to support document capture, indexing, archiving, and process automation applications. Available as both a .NET and ActiveX toolkit, it locates barcodes anywhere on a page, decodes barcodes, reports the content, reports recognition confidence values, and also writes barcodes.

ScanFix® Xpress v5.1 - Bitonal Image Enhancement Toolkit
ScanFix® Xpress is delivered as a .NET software development toolkit, ActiveX COM software development toolkit, and as Activities for Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), offering powerful bitonal document image enhancement technology. Create smaller file sizes and cleaner images, ultimately resulting in higher OCR rates. Clean up images using deskew, noise removal, character smoothing, dot shading removal, hole punch removal, line removal, text repair, auto inverse text correction, auto negate, auto binarization, auto border crop, image registration, blank page detection, and rotate. ScanFix includes ImagXpress Document.

ISIS® Xpress™ v3 - High-Speed ISIS Scanning Toolkit
ISIS Xpress is a powerful software development kit (SDK) used in either .NET or ActiveX COM development environments to control high-speed ISIS scanners. Designed for high-speed scanning of black/white, grayscale and color documents, it supports simultaneous image capture (multistreaming) and provides access to ISIS scanner features.

CapturePRO™ v3 - The Image & Video Acquisition Toolkit
CapturePRO interfaces with any Video For Windows or DirectShow/WDM video capture device, including USB and FireWire devices. CapturePRO contains managed .NET, COM and VCL components (CapturePRO and TwainPRO) that perform image and video acquisition from video capture devices.

Prizm® IP - Advanced Image Processing Toolkit
The Prizm IP toolkit offers the most comprehensive set of image processing development tools available for color, grayscale and bitonal document images. Available as either an ActiveX/COM or C++ toolkit, Prizm IP’s powerful image cleanup technology is used to improve the quality and legibility of TIFF and JPEG images, reduce file size, improve recognition accuracy for forms processing applications, form identification, and form registration.
