# PDF Generation Library on Server/Desktop

Create new documents easily with our template generator. Start from scratch or use a blank PDF. Get started now! The Apryse Server SDK streamlines secure document processing with robust support for C#

Document creation can be as simple as a blank PDF or it could be part of capturing content and combining it with a template PDF in order to streamline a report process.

Apryse SDK benefits include:

* Create new documents from scratch or use existing documents as templates
* Copy page content (individual graphical elements) from one page to another
* Read/write a PDF document from/to memory buffer or a file on a disk
* Create new text, vector art and images
* Quick image embedding for TIFF, JPEG, and PNG
* Support for Type1, OpenType, TrueType, Type3, and CID Font embedding for accurate text reproduction
* Support for Unicode text and standard PDF encodings
* Dynamic font subsetting resulting in smaller files
* Full control over text positioning and character spacing
* Support for all PDF color spaces and advanced pre-press options
* Full control over content positioning and all graphical attributes available in PDF
* Support for PDF patterns (colored and uncolored tiling patterns) and shadings (7 types)
* Support for image masks
* Reuse of resources such as images, fonts and color spaces through object sharing resulting in smaller and more efficient documents
* Intelligent element serialization resulting in small and efficient content streams
* Support for explicit and named destinations. Named destinations allow for changes to the document that will not invalidate existing bookmarks
* Extensive bookmark creation and editing API
* Creation of PDF documents with 3D content (U3D support)
* Apply security to new documents
* Linearization (Fast Web View)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/core/create/create.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
