Architecture

Overview

PSPDFKit Instant consists of two parts: the Server backend, and the client frameworks. The PSPDFKit Server backend manages authentication and synchronizes documents and annotations. The PSPDFKit Instant mobile and web frameworks integrate into your app and communicate with the Server backend.

Compatibility

The frameworks for iOS, Android, and Web connect your app to PSPDFKit Server. Enabling Instant is a simple matter of adding the framework to your app.

PSPDFKit Server runs within a Docker container and provides a JSON-based API for easy integration with your existing infrastructure. It handles syncing documents and annotations automatically.
