PDF viewer, signatures and AI in one SDK – Full walkthrough
See every major feature of the Nutrient Web SDK in one live walkthrough — from high-fidelity PDF viewing to AI-powered redaction and document Q&A.
In this demo, Richard, Chief Revenue Officer at Nutrient, shows how developers and product teams can embed a fully featured document experience directly inside any web application, no third-party PDF viewer required. The session covers the SDK's component-based, feature-flag architecture, so you only pay for what you actually use.
What you'll learn:
• How to render PDFs, Office files, and images in a unified in-app viewer
• Annotation types: freehand drawing, highlights, stamps, shapes, callouts, and cloud polygons
• PDF form filling, form creation, and drag-and-drop signature fields
• Electronic signatures vs. cryptographically verified digital signatures
• Permanent area and text redaction — including AI-assisted smart redaction
• Document comparison: overlay mode for CAD/engineering drawings and side-by-side text diff
• Measurement tools for construction and engineering workflows
• Office-to-PDF and PDF-to-Office conversion, HTML-to-PDF, PDF/A compliance, OCR, and compression
• Document Authoring SDK for native DOCX editing inside your app
• Built-in AI assistant for document Q&A, keyword highlighting, and AI-generated diff summaries
• UI customization: toolbar control, branding colors, localization, and mobile-responsive layouts
Nutrient powers document workflows for companies like DocuSign, Box, and leading AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) platforms. The Web SDK is built on a private fork of PDF.js (Google's open-source rendering engine) with over a decade of proprietary enhancements for performance, fidelity, and annotation support.
