PDF Conversions

The important part of any document conversion project is loading the data into some sort of document management system. Filescan Solutions provides and customizes your scanned images to be imported in almost all existing systems.

PDF has become the most widely used electronic format in litigation, technical & reference documents and research material. PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and represents a specialized file format developed by Adobe. In order to render a TIFF image files more portable and readable, they are generally converted into PDF files.

PDF files are cross platform, navigational, ultra-printable, ultra-viewable and smaller than other conventional document formats. Searching and viewing a PDF is accomplished easily using the free Acrobat Reader provided by Adobe, where you could add hyperlinks and bookmarks created post-scanning.

Using production scanning equipment and leading edge document processing software, Filescan Solutions offers a complete set of PDF conversion services. We can convert any paper or electronic document into the PDF format. For paper documents we can also incorporate the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) with the image, allowing you to search entire directories for document content or by file name, or leave them image only.

Advantages of PDF Format:

PDF is the proven standard for electronic documents and forms with more than 20 million Portable Document Format (PDF) files on Internet today.

Document integrity is a key consideration in selecting a standard. In legal or regulated environments retaining document integrity may be a requirement for official communications or legally binding transactions.

Ease of implementation - PDF documents can be created from any source including paper scan… Because free Adobe Reader is installed on virtually all computers, anyone can read files that look and prints exactly like the familiar paper documents.

Archiving and long term preservation - The fact that PDF is a publicly available specification ensures backward compatibility, meaning that future versions of software will be compatible with documents created under earlier specifications.
