User Reviews

  • Still some work to do, but great and easy to use API overall!
  • Brilliant work! 5/5! Looking forward for next release. File Serializer (during save) needs a bit more work, I have some complex PDF files (with CAD drawing content) that get corrupted after save.
  • Fantastic project, thanks a ton for sharing
  • Fantastic project. Thanks
