historical/legacy PDF conversion that Solid Framework and the Solid Documents desktop range provided - PDF-to-Word/Excel/PowerPoint reconstruction and PDF/A archiving via desktop, batch or .NET - as described on the current Apryse legacy page. This is not a current standalone product or current purchasable capability: Solid Framework is discontinued and its technology moved into the Apryse SDK, so the scope is retained only to describe the historical conversion role; it does not claim current OCR, redaction, signing, accessibility, hosted processing, pricing, version or support, and new integrations should evaluate the Apryse SDK

Discontinued

No longer sold as a standalone product. Solid Documents joined Apryse in August 2021 and the technology was folded into the Apryse SDK; the vendor's own words are: 'In August 2021, Solid Documents joined the Apryse family.

Since then, Apryse has incorporated the Solid Documents technology into our core platform. As such, the Solid Documents website has gone away, although our commitment to you has not.' Existing customers still get support/download/documentation links.

The page does not state a formal discontinuation date, current price, current version or when support ends. Read 2026-10-16.

Its successor in this directory: Apryse (Apryse).

Where your files are processed

No server involved

A discontinued embedded SDK and a set of installed desktop applications. The conversion ran in the customer's own environment, and the page that remains describes a legacy download portal rather than a hosted service. Where the successor capability inside the Apryse SDK processes documents is a question for that record, not this one. That is a property of the library itself: what an application built with it does with your file depends on that application, not on this.

Historical product shape: an SDK/desktop application consumed in the customer's own environment, with no hosted service described on the legacy page. This is an architectural description of the legacy product, not a current deployment statement or a claim about where the successor Apryse SDK processes documents.

What it does

Solid Framework was the developer SDK behind Solid Documents' PDF conversion range, whose defining capability was reconstructing PDFs as editable Microsoft Office documents - Word, Excel and PowerPoint - while retaining the layout of the original. Around it sat end-user desktop applications: Solid Converter, Solid PDF Tools, Solid PDF to Word and Solid Automator for batch work, plus PDF/A archiving.

Solid Documents joined Apryse in August 2021 and the technology was folded into the Apryse SDK; the vendor states plainly that the Solid Documents website has gone away. This record is a signpost, not a current product listing: there is no standalone Solid Framework version, price or licence to evaluate today, only legacy support/documentation/download links.

A new integration should evaluate the current Apryse SDK instead.

Best for

Existing customers looking for the SDK portal or the legacy documentation, and anyone who has found Solid Framework named in an older comparison and wants to know where the capability went. A new integration should evaluate the successor, the Apryse SDK, rather than this.

Worth knowing

This is not a current standalone product to buy. The legacy page says the website has gone away, that Apryse incorporated the technology into its core platform, and that Solid Framework is now available in the Apryse SDK.

What remains is support for existing customers and links to legacy documentation/downloads; the page does not state a formal discontinuation date, current price, current version, supported platforms or when support ends. PDF-to-Office reconstruction historically covered Word/Excel/PowerPoint and PDF/A archiving via desktop, batch or .NET, but that is historical capability rather than a current documented scope; new integrations should evaluate the Apryse SDK.

The record does not claim current OCR, redaction, signing, accessibility, hosted processing or data-residency guarantees.

Details, and where each comes from

Vendor statements, our own reading of their pages, and the things nobody has established yet, each answered separately. Where we have not confirmed something it says so rather than guessing, and a row nobody has established is greyed out.

No current standalone licence is offered. Solid Framework was a commercial SDK/desktop product; Solid Documents joined Apryse in August 2021 and the technology was incorporated into the Apryse SDK.
The legacy page supports existing customers with portal/download/documentation links but states no current price, version, formal discontinuation date or wind-down terms. Any new integration should evaluate the current Apryse SDK, not this legacy product.

Why we have not determined this

What that does not establish

Left undetermined rather than recorded as `none`, which is the difference between this record and most in the index. The page read is a brand tombstone: it describes the product range as "PDF document conversion and PDF/A archiving solutions" and lists four legacy desktop applications, and it says nothing about content removal - but it also describes almost no functionality at all, because it is not a product page any more. `none` would assert that no redaction feature exists, and a page this thin cannot support that.

The legacy documentation and the SDK downloads are still linked from the page and were not read; that is where the answer is. The successor's verdict, if any, belongs on the Apryse record, which has its own evidence.

What the vendor says

Claims are labelled rather than repeated as fact. Where we have checked something ourselves, it says so and shows when. Checked means we read the vendor's own page and it says what we recorded - not that we tested the behaviour, unless the note says we did.

“Solid Framework is now available in the Apryse SDK. Learn more on our industry-leading technology to convert PDFs into MS Office formats.”

Checked by us - the source says this Read 16 October 2026

Confirmed verbatim, and it is the most useful sentence on the page: it names the successor product so a reader can act on it. It was cross-checked against the Apryse brand page for the same product line, which served identical visible text - worth recording because it means the two URLs a reader might try, the old vendor domain and the new brand page, give the same answer rather than one being a stale mirror.
It also confirms the successor's headline capability is the same one Solid Framework had: conversion of PDFs into Microsoft Office formats.

Checked by us - the source says this Read 16 October 2026

Confirmed verbatim. This is the sentence the record is built on, because it is unusually direct for a vendor page: most acquisitions leave the acquired brand's site up and vague, and this one states that the site has gone away and why.
The date the technology moved is given as August 2021, but the page does not say when the standalone SDK stopped being sold, and the record does not infer one. The word "gone away" refers to the website, not to the products - the same page goes on to link legacy downloads, tutorials and an SDK portal, which is why `discontinued` is recorded with a note about continuing support rather than as a bare flag.
