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.

PDF Data 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.

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 more about the Rogers Project


PDF Document 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.

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 more about the SONY Project

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 more about the Abbott Project
