Argus accurately converts the majority of PDF
document types including financial/report based,
newspaper/magazines, books and even structured PDF.

It comes with a selection of pre-configured output
schemes including HTML and RTF which may be
extended, modified or completely re-written to
produce any text-based output format required.

With its built-in rendering engine, image export and
scaling facilities, the software can also handle any
aspect of image generation or conversion you need.

Argus is packaged as a command-line driven Solaris
(Sparc), Linux (x86), or Windows application. The
stand-alone application does not require any Adobe
software and can operate comfortably on a "headless"
server machine using on-demand script calls or via
its built-in spooler.

Flexibility
Argus allows you to re-configure every aspect of the
PDF conversion down to the level of individual tags,
line-breaks and analysis behaviour. This means that
it is possible to generate text output in almost any
format you require whether it be a proprietary
tagging scheme of your own or a standard markup
language.

The package includes an extensive set of
pre-configured schemes including:
* configurations for text, HTML and RTF that re-flow
the output
* HTML and RTF configurations for preserving layout
* "tabtext" configuration designed for accurate
export of tabular data such as stock market
reports, inventories and invoices
* "gridText" configuration for retaining layout in
plain text output
* article thread export configurations
* image export and page rendering configurations

Software Development Kit - "SDK"
Argus includes a SDK with support for C, C++ and
Visual Basic. Using the SDK, the full power of Argus
can be seamlessly incorporated into your own Visual
Basic applications and "C/C++" programs.
In fact, any application requiring the ability to
convert or render PDF documents can be rapidly
developed using the simple API provided by the SDK.
