History

Founded in 1998 by Catherine Andersz and Ivan Nincic, PDFTron was among the first companies outside of Adobe Systems to offer PDF development tools. Their core product, PDFNet SDK, has gone through many iterations since its introduction in 2002. They were early adopters of Microsoft Silverlight and XPS technologies, launching the PDF2XPS product within a year of the format standardization.[2] Advancing into the mobile arena PDFNet now has capabilities in Windows Mobile, iOS, Android[3] and HTML5. The HTML5 feature of their new WebViewer enables platform neutral document viewing and web annotation.[4]

In 2019, PDFTron is teamed up with Silversmith Capital Partners and received growth investment of $71 million.[5]
