Which advantages does webPDF offer?

The Portable Document Format (PDF) has now been in use for over a decade as the most successful "de-facto-standard-format" for the steady and secure exchange for any type of electronic document, worldwide. The compact PDF format is perfect to view, share and print files.

webPDF makes the creation and the handling of PDF files in your organisation easier. Once centrally installed, it provides the following advantages to your users:

No original software needed... Neither the users nor the server, on which webPDF is used, need the original application in order to be able to convert a specific data format. The format has to be one of the supported formats.

Secured documents... Secure your PDF documents with certificates. Whether for the use of e-invoice or the internal archiving - with the service you are able to create secure documents quickly, protected from change and authenticated.

Powerful integrations... The services can be directly integrated in different applications and environments. Whether via a web browser or webPDF.jclient, whether with the Lotus Notes or MS Office integration - Simply click on the file, let the server convert or sign and have the result on your client.

Intranet, Extranet, Internet any net... Due to the use of Java technology and the conception as a web service, the conversion is possible out of and within every type of network. Whether the user is in the office or in an internet cafe - the services are available for use.

Simple updates... the product supports new data formats and new PDF format options or there are new server services? No Problem! With webPDF you only update the J2EE server and deploy the new version - simply and centrally - no updates on hundreds of clients required.

No costs per PDF... That's understood - costs are completely transparent and under your control! No hidden costs such as e.g. per created PDF file - use the server without any limits.

And more... The functionality is not only available via the existing interfaces, but it can also be used out of any custom made individual application. Integrate the services in your own applications to create and handle server-side PDF files.
