Argus accurately converts the majority of PDF document types including financial/report based, newspaper/magazines, books and even structured PDF.
It comes with a selection of pre-configured output schemes including HTML and RTF which may be extended, modified or completely re-written to produce any text-based output format required.
With its built-in rendering engine, image export and scaling facilities, the software can also handle any aspect of image generation or conversion you need.

Argus is packaged as a command-line driven Solaris (Sparc), Linux (x86), or Windows application. The stand-alone application does not require any Adobe software and can operate comfortably on a "headless" server machine using on-demand script calls or via its built-in spooler.
