Custom PDF Solutions

People love the consistent, rich, and portable document view
that PDF document format provides. But PDF can be a dead-end
format because the data (i.e. text, table, graphic) contained
in it are close to impossible to process. This inability to easily
process PDF data is a serious problem for end-users from a wide
range of industries that rely heavily on PDF documents.

Featured Case
Study

MS
Wireless, a leading independent reseller for Cingular Wireless,
used to manually extract sales order information from PDF files
and match it to their own POS database for data consistency in
verifying sales and paying sales commissions. The
high volume of orders required 15-20 employees for this work.
They were always 1-2 weeks behind, which delayed uncovering
of inconsistencies in reported sales and increased instances
of fraud in the field. Read

Between
1994 and 1998, SONY migrated all of their repair manuals, schematics,
diagrams, and documentation to PDF in order to reduce printing
and distribution costs. Although this initiative effectively
saved the company time and money, they soon found that the
electronic format had several disadvantages. PDF
was not suitable for displaying complex schematics because
they were difficult to view on a monitor. Read

PDF Data
Extraction
| Adobe found that while people loved the consistent, rich,
and portable document view that PDF provided, the inabilities
to extract objects such as text, tables, and graphics were
serious concerns for end-users from a wide range of industries,
such as pharmaceutical and financial industries, that relied
heavily on PDF documents. Read

Mining for Database and Various Document Management Systems
| IBM regularly receives circuit board drawings in PDF format.
Although accurate and precise in displaying the document,
these PDF files are not compatible with IBM's existing document
management systems. In order to archive and index the PDF
document in the system, they need a solution that systematically
and automatically extracts image and textual information
from these documents and imports them into a database. Read

PDF Document
Manipulation for Advanced Processing
| On a daily basis, Rogers MIS aggregates the content of clinical
findings presented at medical society proceedings from around
the world for analysis by its database search engine technology.
The information arrives in various media formats. Many sources
employ layouts where an individual piece of content may wrap
across columns or pages. Rogers MIS needed a method to demarcate
the beginning of each piece of content for presentation to
its ingestion and content storage systems. Read

Format Conversion
| R.R. Donnelley Financial was faced with the challenge of
reducing turnaround time for conversion of native Desktop
(DTP) documents to the appropriate EDGAR II HTML and EDGAR
ASCII formats for filing with the SEC. The challenge was
to utilize Adobe® Acrobat®'s PDF capabilities while
also allowing for extraction and conversion of content into
editable HTML 3.2 and ASCII file formats, with or without
graphics. Read

PDF Usability
and Readability
| Between
1994 and 1998, SONY migrated all of their repair
manuals, schematics, diagrams, and documentation
to PDF in order to reduce printing and distribution
costs. Although this initiative effectively
saved the company time and money, they soon
found that the electronic format had several
disadvantages. PDF was not suitable for displaying
complex schematics because they were difficult
to view on a monitor. Users were unable to
trace the countless connecting lines between
components, or to determine a part’s
description. Navigating the content in the
PDF files was a great challenge and it took
an enormous amount of time. Read

PDF Data
Searching
| Abbott
Laboratories stores its medical and research
information in a PDF database. Many of these
documents contain vital facts and figures that
are frequently required for research purposes.
One of the biggest challenges they face is
allowing end-users to conduct searches for
key words or terms over the company's intranet. Read
