The technical basis of http://www.webPDF.net is a web service implemented in Java that can be used on any J2EE server, including Sun Java Application Server and Apache Tomcat.
The portal from the Fulda-based software developers serves as a reference application for the StarOffice Server PDF Converter operating in the background. The manufacturer intends it to demonstrate how the technology can be used. Companies can also license the technology underlying the webPDF portal for use within their own corporate networks. A free demo version is available for evaluation.
