CIB pdf toolbox was developed since around the year 2000. In 2017 a second main version was developed, which was written completly from scratch and in which we put all our expertise gained from long-term developing of PDF processing and modern C++ programming. It proofed to be a very fast, reliable and a very safe pdf processor, which is also very easy to maintain, modular and suitable for all the usecases around pdf we know of.

CIB pdf toolbox 2 introduced also a new interface, which is completly unicode aware and for complex structures always JSON-based.

Therefor the interface of CIB pdf toolbox 2 is sometimes similar to the old one, but not completly backwards compatible.
