When is Apryse (ehemals PDFTron) the better choice?
Vendors that license Apryse (PDFTron) as a PDF SDK/WebViewer in their own products stay on the SDK. Capture, WORM and agents are not the Apryse default.
When API-first, credits and MCP without a client or suite mandate matter, PaperOffice is the better fit.
