Headless PDF Editor

It’s possible to apply document editing operations without the need to present any user interface (UI) to the user.

Standalone

In Standalone mode of Nutrient Web SDK, you can perform the operation using JavaScript in the browser by setting the headless option as true when loading the JavaScript library. This indicates you don’t want a UI:

PSPDFKit.load({
    // ...
    headless: true
})
.then((instance) => {
    // Apply your operations.
})

Once the SDK is loaded, you can apply any of our operations as normal.

Server-backed

When using the Server-backed operational mode, a variety of operations are available server-side. See the Document Engine documentation for additional information.
