The Toolkit 11.2.0 release (Build 11.2.0.22229) moves toward using PDFTron technology.
Software Requirements
The following software is required to successfully use Toolkit and Toolkit Ultimate.
Operating Systems Supported
- Windows Server® 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019

Note: If you are installing an ActivePDF product on a Windows 2012 R2 server, you need to download and install two Microsoft updates for Windows 2012 R2 servers.

For links and step-by-step instructions, see this ActivePDF Knowledge Base article: Installing Toolkit on Windows 2012 Servers.

The minimum hardware requirements for Toolkit are:
Server and desktop

New Features and Enhancements
New features and enhancements to this release include:
- Barcode Object: The Barcode Object is now included in Toolkit 11.2.0.
- New Toolkit Object methods: The Toolkit Object includes two new methods:
- PrintBarcode: Prints a barcode on a page. Previously, the PrintImage and AsString methods were used to add the barcode, but starting in this release, Toolkit was enhanced to use just the PrintBarcode method.
- SetFormFieldBarcode: Receives barcode image from Barcode object and converts the Form field to barcode.
- AsString Method removed: The AsString method was removed from the Barcode Object.
Features not in Toolkit 11.2.0, but may be considered in future releases:
- Annotations
- Flash

Although the documentation is available for these objects, the objects themselves are not connected, and will not work. For more information, contact the ActivePDF Support team.
