The WILL™ SDK and Service Family
WILL™ SDKs and Services enable you to leverage the algorithms that vectorise raw pen data into beautiful digital ink, and store digital ink in the .will file format for use within any application and pen-enabled device. This extraordinary toolset is modular, and each element offers you an awesome array of features and freedom. Each module can be configured, replaced, or left out according to the requirements of your specific application, providing you with maximum development flexibility.
The complete set of SDKs and services is displayed in the diagram below. The foundation is the SDK for devices, which allows you to integrate inking hardware into your applications. The SDK for ink allows you to add beautiful digital ink to your app, and the SDKs for documents and signature allow you to adapt the digital ink aspect for specific use cases that involve document- and signature-centric workflows. Finally, our two cloud services allow you to export WILL™ to different file formats such as .pdf, and enable WILL™ to be used in collaborative cloud apps.
