Challenges
There’s nothing worse than being weighed down by a clunky developing tool. Matt Stroshane, the IT Director at ABI, knew this all too well. Matt and his team tried using out-of-the-box .NET libraries to manipulate documents, but their APIs weren’t up to speed—prolonging the development process.
“We couldn’t find a good solution for working with PDF files,” Matt said. “Even working with Word documents was clunky at times with the standard APIs.” Matt’s team needed a user-friendly toolkit to accelerate their programming cycle, so they switched to Essential Studio®.
Solution
With Essential Studio® Document SDK and WPF controls, Matt and his team were able to develop several in-house tools to transform files. He was motivated to try Essential Studio® due to its user-friendly interface, comprehensive framework, extensive range of prebuilt controls, affordable pricing, and committed support team.
“Compared to the standard .NET APIs, Syncfusion® APIs performed equivalent tasks significantly faster,” Matt said. “They also enabled new workflows that aren’t possible with regular .NET.”
