Dynamsoft Expands Cross-platform Document Scanning Support and Optimized PDF Management in Dynamic Web TWAIN v19.0

VANCOUVER, BC, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynamsoft has released Dynamic Web TWAIN version 19.0, bringing significant enhancements to its web-based document scanning SDK.

This update features a set of RESTful APIs for platform and language-independent document scanning, alongside a new PDF size preservation feature to streamline file management.

Expanded RESTful API for Language and Platform-Independent Document Scanning

RESTful APIs are essential for building scalable, efficient, and platform-agnostic applications. Dynamic Web TWAIN RESTful APIs extend the power of our JavaScript SDK by offering a flexible way to integrate document scanning. While the JavaScript APIs are ideal for rich, interactive scanning experiences in the browser, the RESTful APIs make it easy to add scanning using Python, C#, Java, PHP, and more.

Since the RESTful API returns scanned documents as image file streams without relying on a built-in viewer, developers have the flexibility to integrate scanned images into any existing viewer within their application or the built-in viewer provided by Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK. This ensures a seamless, native, and unified user experience.

New PDF Rasterizer Add-On API: Preserves File Size

In earlier versions, PDFs—including text-based documents—were rasterized for display and saved as image-based PDFs to ensure uniform rendering and simplify downstream operations like annotation and editing.

As document management needs have grown more sophisticated, so have the expectations around file size and preservation. In response, version 19.0 introduces the 'preserveUnmodifiedOnSave' API in the PDF Rasterizer Add-On. Now, when a PDF is re-saved without page-level edits, its original structure and compression are retained—no unnecessary rasterization, no file bloat.

This improvement delivers smaller file sizes, faster processing, and greater document fidelity—especially valuable in automation pipelines, compliance workflows, and long-term archiving scenarios.

"With Dynamic Web TWAIN 19.0, we are making document scanning more accessible and versatile than ever," said Amy Gu, CEO at Dynamsoft. "By expanding RESTful API support, developers can seamlessly integrate scanning into a wider range of applications, reaching more users across different environments."
