The Investintech PDF Conversion Software Development Kit (SDK) is a collection of methods compiled, linked and stored in a dynamic-link library (DLL) file. The purpose of these methods is to convert files from the Portable Document Format (PDF) to Microsoft Excel (XLS), Rich Text Format (RTF), Comma Separated Values (CVS), Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and plain text (.txt) formats.

With PDF becoming a mainstream technology for sharing electronic documents and generating reports from enterprise systems, organizations and developers are increasingly needing to recover large amounts of PDF data created by enterprise systems and software applications and transport it into more useable formats for analysis and editing. The Investintech PDF Conversion SDK is flexible enough that it allows organizations and developers to integrate the conversion into their applications quickly and easily. To date, the Investintech PDF Conversion SDK has been used by developers to integrate into reporting components within enterprise systems and has been added as a conversion component/feature into proprietary end-user software.
