What Is PSPDFKit Server?
PSPDFKit Server has been deprecated and replaced by Document Engine. To start using Document Engine, refer to the migration guide. With Document Engine, you’ll have access to robust new capabilities (read the blog for more information).
PSPDFKit Server is an optional server-side component that can be used by PSPDFKit for Web, iOS, and Android. It’s deployed on your infrastructure as a Docker container.
PSPDFKit SDKs are deployed in some of the world’s most popular applications, such as those made by Autodesk, Disney, UBS, Dropbox, IBM, and Lufthansa.
PSPDFKit for Web Server-Backed mode for SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft OneDrive, and Salesforce is currently in development. To get an email when we launch this feature, or to learn more, please get in touch.
