DotImage - .NET Imaging SDKs to view, capture, and annotate images & PDF

Royalty-free options. DotImage is the only full-featured .NET Imaging SDK that is royalty-free for desktop applications. Except for GlyphReader and ISIS, all add-ons are royalty-free for desktop applications as well. Server deployments require only a per-server license, and if you want unlimited server deployments we offer them for a fixed annual fee. Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. DotImage released Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 support concurrent with Microsoft’s release. As partners, we’re given early access to the tools, and we use that time to make sure that you don’t have to wait for support. We were also the first to market with a .NET imaging SDK, AJAX Document/Image viewers, and Silverlight Annotations. With DotImage, you can be sure that you’ll always have up to date tools. .NET from the ground-up. DotImage has always been targeted for .NET and does not use COM interop. Our assemblies work in Azure, SharePoint, and we have controls for every .NET GUI framework (WinForms, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, and WPF). We’re experts in .NET, and our engineers participate in StackOverflow, blog solutions to .NET problems, and are very active in the .NET community by speaking, writing, and contributing to user groups.

Document and Image Viewing. DotImage’s Document and Image viewing controls support all of our image formats and PDF. We have controls for WinForms, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, and WPF. Whether you need a thumbnail view of the pages of a document or a standards-compliant annotation authoring and editing toolkit, DotImage has a control for your application. View, Edit, and Create PDF. If you need to convert image formats to PDF, manipulate the pages of a PDF, or read or write PDF meta-data or bookmarks, you just need the DotImage Document Imaging edition. With the PDF Reader add-on, you can convert PDF to an image or view and annotate PDF in any of our controls. PDF/A and encrypted PDF are supported, and with our Searchable PDF add-on to OCR, you can create a two-layer PDF with the original image and recognized text. Human support. DotImage is backed by a remarkable in-house support team of expert .NET and imaging developers. With an active support contract, you can send in support requests via our support tool or by just calling us. The support team also hosts webinars on most Wednesdays so that you can get a quick start to your development.

Customer Quotes

Healthcare:
"By using Atalasoft's viewer, we are able to provide viewing and annotating without the need for the client to install a plug-in and elevate their security. This is critical for us as our customers are often using different computers and usually don't have IT resources to manage this for them. With Atalasoft's technology our clients get the key functionality they need to perform their fax management tasks. They can digitally sign, annotate, and fill out forms without the need to download, print, and fax back. They can do this from any computer with internet access. Without Atalasoft, we could not provide a solution that would be acceptable to our customers."
- Dennis Nasto, CEO, SecureCare Technologies


"The DotTwain component allowed us to easily create an interface for our users to scan their documents. With the DotImage component library, the easy to use ThumbnailViewer and ImageViewer controls allowed us to create an intuitive display for displaying our digital images. Finally, with the Dotimage annotation component, we could provide our users an easy way to annotate their images. Most exciting to us was the launch of Atalasoft's annotations which support Digital Ink and is perfectly suited for the Tablet PC environment. The Atalasoft DotImage Document Imaging suite was truly a complete imaging solution for our needs."
- Tim Cummings, Development Manager, MDTablet, LLC


"Our solution integrates with an existing legacy database to retrieve patient information and information concerning the patient's activities. We then relate this information to scanned documents. By using the combination of DotImage and DotTwain, we were able to immediately mark off 40% of our functional requirements. The open API architecture of DotImage and DotTwain made the integration and customization a straight-forward intuitive process."
- Todd Oliver, Project Lead, LinkedHealth


"The radiologist can read an image anywhere they have web access... a hospital APCS system, a clinic, at home, and even via PDA. There is nothing the doctor needs to load."
- Scott Shuppert, President, Cad/Cam Services, Inc.


ISV:
"DotImage is simply the best .NET imaging toolkit on the market. We have used several competing products but none of them are built around the .NET architecture like DotImage - so they are harder to use and more complex to distribute."
- David Cardinal, CEO, ProShooters LLC


"Working with Atalasoft has been 'awesome'. The Atalasoft support team was helpful in getting us familiar with the product. DotImage speaks for itself - the organization, the API, and level of abstration. Kudos to Atalasoft."
- Joe Aparo, Senior Developer, EBSCO


Legal Industry:
"Using Atalasoft's DotImage toolkit, we are offering a single yet scalable and flexible imaging solution to our customers, enabling them to utilize Image Connect across multiple applications as their needs change."
- Brad Kahnamoui, Product Manager, Thomson Elite


Government:
"The state is saving thousands of dollars per year and serving its constituents faster than ever. Our software maintenance cost went from about $7,500 annually to less than $300"
(After working with our customer Envoc)
- Marty Beasley, Manager of Geographic Information Systems, Louisiana Office of State Lands


"The Graduate School Office feels very strongly that this system has gone beyond being merely useful and has entered the realm of being necessary. It has allowed us a safe and long-lasting method for archiving student and other records which may need to be accessed in a timely manner. Our ability to view these imaged documents quickly has saved much in terms of valuable staff time which would otherwise be spent going through paper documents in storage cabinets."
- Sandra M. Powers - Dean of Undergraduate Studies, The College of Charleston
