Case Study: Professional PDF Solution for Companies
What speaks in favor of using a professional PDF software solution such as webPDF?
Examples of Practical Use in Companies
- Within an electronic personnel file: converting Office documents to PDF, converting PDF to PDF/A, and generating thumbnails, that is, small preview images on the first page.
- Converting documents to PDF/A as part of long-term archiving.
Many companies already have an archive solution, and such solutions are often developed in-house. It is not uncommon for these in-house solutions to reach their limits or to require a more efficient design. This is exactly where webPDF becomes a strong option, because it can be integrated very flexibly into the existing IT landscape. The rollout is quick and straightforward.
We would like to provide more application examples here. Customers often approach us with requirements such as these:
- For both our electronic personnel file and the archiving of in-house documents, we needed a solution that can convert PDF documents as well as Office documents into PDF/A.
- Another extremely important point is that the solution must be lean and uncomplicated.
- There must be no excessive maintenance effort.
- Communication via webservices is also very important. There should be no large installations and no API programming required.
- We need a high-performance solution. Especially for mass uploads, both the solution itself and its introduction must run quickly and smoothly.
An important factor in favor of using webPDF in large companies is that the software can still be used very broadly even if it is installed on only one server. It can also be used without difficulty together with a global SAP system, for example. As a rule, webPDF is implemented very quickly and requires no maintenance. In addition, working time and costs can be saved through the use of webservices.
How Does the Introduction of webPDF Usually Proceed?
The introduction is extremely simple. First, you can download the free trial version and then install webPDF on the server. With our trial version, you can test the range of functions in detail. We also provide webPDF as a virtual machine for VMware or VirtualBox, or as a ready-made Docker image. This means that your installation effort is kept to a minimum: go directly to the download page.
All of this works very easily, for example via a SOAP call. From that point on, the software simply does its job in the background. As a rule, users provide no feedback because they do not notice it at all. In addition, there is SoftVision support, which always responds very quickly and reliably.
