PixTools for .NET 8.3

PixTools for .NET by EMC Captiva is a developer-focused SDK for building high‑performance document scanning and imaging applications on the Microsoft .NET platform. It provides a unified, managed API for controlling a wide range of scanners via ISIS and TWAIN, along with advanced image processing, viewing, and capture workflow features. Designed for production‑grade capture, it helps teams rapidly embed reliable scanning and cleanup into line‑of‑business solutions.

Key capabilities:

• Scanner connectivity and control: Access ISIS and TWAIN devices through a consistent .NET interface; manage ADF/duplex, color modes, resolution, and batch workflows.
• Image processing and cleanup: Deskew, despeckle, crop, rotate, blank‑page detection, and color detection to optimize image quality and downstream OCR.
• Barcode and patch code support: Recognize common 1D/2D barcodes and patch codes for automatic document separation and indexing (module availability may vary).
• Viewing and annotation: Drop‑in viewer controls for thumbnails, page navigation, zoom, and markup in .NET applications.
• Flexible output: Create multi‑page TIFF and PDF/PDF‑A, with industry‑standard compression options.
• Developer-friendly: Managed .NET APIs, sample projects, and Visual Studio integration to accelerate implementation; supports 32‑bit and 64‑bit Windows.

Typical uses include mailroom and front‑office capture, invoice and records digitization, and backfile conversion—where high‑throughput, consistent image quality, and easy integration with existing systems are essential.
