In this session, we take a deep look into the all-new multi-format document processing toolset for Delphi from Gnostice. We take a brief look at architectural details of the product and then go into using the product. You'll get to see real code examples for viewing, printing, converting and processing documents in Delphi VCL and FireMonkey on Desktop and mobiles devices. You'll also see examples of document processing using the new Gnostice REST-based document server.

I just don't quite understand why you use Java for your server software, a slower bytecode language. With the Delphi compilers you have the possibility to compile native applications on all major platforms (Win/OSX/Linux). Developing this server software in Delph as fast, native server services would not only have advantages in terms of speed. The source code would also be the same for all platforms, with the exception of some platform-specific code.
