How do you stay competitive? Rasterex Software brings you the tools - now it is up to you to make the information work for you.
Many developers are working on solutions for document management. It can be a VB/Delphi/MFC application or a web solution. During the process, they get to a point where they start looking for technology to enhance their solution with multi format viewing, printing, conversion and markup capabilities. Either as a ready made component they can integrate out-of-the-box, or as APIs, tools and components available at code level. Rasterex has made all the underlying technology available at all levels. Open APIs, function specific COM objects and ActiveX components can be programmed directly into any solution by code, or by objects that are fully customizable and integratable.
RxSDK : All Rasterex technology
API’s, Tools and Components for Developers and OEM’s
Software developers often require full control on how the components play together within their application, and they want to decide themselves the look and feel of each element.
For them, Rasterex has broken down the technology into core elements at a lower level. They get access to the technology at an API level, as a selection of function specific COM objects or as a fully customizable ActiveX component with hundreds of scripts available. They are all fully documented, and followed by a set of sample code for each programming language.
RxSDK – “Rasterex Software Developers Kit”
Software Developers who want to evaluate Rasterex software can get the complete RxSDK and test it out in their own environment.
The RxSDK consists of:
RxCOM Objects
With complete PDF documentation
With code samples for VB/Delphi/MFC-C++/.NET
RxHighX
With complete PDF documentation
With code samples for VB/Delphi/MFC-C++/.NET
RxViewServer PRO
With complete PDF documentation
With JavaScript code samples.
RIMEngine (The core API)
RxRedlines (The Markup/Redlining API)
The complete range of file filters (“readers)
RxHighX / RxViewServer / RxView360: OEM Solution
Would you like to integrate RxView360, RxViewServer or RxHighX in your own software solution?
Integrate one of the three option with the company’s existing or planned document management solution!
All the three options are available as an enterprice license or floating network licenses for companies wanting to link the viewing software to their own internal document management system. IT departments, IT consultants and integrators can inrease the user satisfaction by offering multi format viewing, printing, markup and file conversion of any type of models, documents and drawings, directly within the document management system. Regardless of whether it is over the company network, over the web or via terminal server.
Embed RxView360, RxViewServer or RxHighX into your own commercial product, become a Rasterex OEM!
The solutions are also perfect tools for software developers looking for an easy way to add multi format viewing, printing, markup and file conversion to their own commercial product, under their own brand and controlled by their own licensing system.
The value of these capabilities is often significant – actually they are often crutial to win business cases. The software developers themselves are not capable of programming this from scratch, and the myriad of format specific viewers and freeware on the market will quickly call for one common control covering all formats and features.
The RxHighX, ViewServer and RxView360 are therefore also made available for OEM partners who are developing a commercial product. They can program the solutions directly into their own software, customize it entirely at their own preferences and immediately have a full blown viewer embedded.
RxCOM Objects: COM Objects
Software developers can pick from a variety of COM objects, and program specific functionality directly into their application by code.
Software developers often require full control on how the components play together within their application, and they want to decide themselves the look and feel of each element. For them, a ready made Windows solution, web solution or ActiveX component has taken away much of this flexibility. They want to program everything by code, make their own solutions in their own way and with no predefined User Interface, buttons or menus. They require the technology at an API and code level.
Rasterex has therefore made the core technology available as specific COM objects, providing developers with viewing, printing, conversion, redlining, markup, text extraction functions to their application.
The COM objects can add a lot of different functionality to the client side of an application, but it can also be used to create different kinds of server solution. RxCOM has been used to create Conversion servers, Raster servers, Online converters, Online viewers, Printing Portals, Text Extraction processes, Indexing services and other server-side solutions.
RxCOM is a suite of COM objects for specific functionality:
Documentation and samples for developers:
OEM Software License Agreement:
After the developer has tested the RxSDK, and found out what solution is best suited for their application, they can contact Rasterex and negotiate an OEM Software License Agreement. The OEM Partnership will ensure the developer access to the complete RxSDK with all of its components, documentation and samples, as well as access to regular updates and fixes. The Agreement will also give them the right to distribute Rasterex components as part of their solution, and it regulates royalty terms and conditions.
