The PDF Creator Pilot library does not require any third-party applications or libraries to create, open, merge or otherwise manipulate PDF files. You will need to distribute only the PDFCreatorPilot.dll with your product in order to employ PDF Creator Pilot library features.

PDF Creator Pilot uses ActiveX (also known as COM) technology. You can use the library from any programming language that can use ActiveX components. Please take a look at samples for Visual Basic / Visual Basic .NET, Delphi, Visual C++, VBScript, ASP / ASP.NET, C#, PHP and Python.
