Law - (TA) Power PDF + SignDoc

Hall & Wilcox - "Power PDF has no problem at all opening or saving these files quickly from any of our devices,” says Andrew Stott.

Situation 

As it prepared to move to a new office, Hall & Wilcox recognized an opportunity to embrace paperless operations. Andrew Stott, Technology Services Supervisor at Hall & Wilcox Lawyers, explains: “Once we had committed to moving towards a paperless office, we scanned and filed boxes and boxes of paper for easy access. It was at this point that we realized the limitations of our existing PDF software and the fact that we needed a solution that offered greater capability, as well as speed, if we were serious about becoming paperless.”


Hall & Wilcox’s existing PDF solution was far too slow when it came to opening large documents. As most files in law firms are large, the firm’s staff were becoming increasingly frustrated with the time the software was taking to open, as well as save, documents. “We also realized that the functionality of our existing PDF software was very narrow,” continues Andrew Stott.

The Solution

While researching PDF solutions in the marketplace, Hall & Wilcox discovered Tungsten’s Power PDF and was impressed with its comprehensive range of features.

Designed specifically for business use, Power PDF provides all the capabilities business users need at a competitive price point.

The software lets users create, assemble, convert, edit, search, secure, print and validate PDF documents and forms easily and quickly.

“We wanted to trial Power PDF to see if it could meet our needs, and Tungsten Automation were only too happy to assist,” recalls Andrew Stott.

“We installed the software on the computers and mobile devices of some of our partners, senior colleagues and our CEO. All of these people are heavy PDF users, and we wanted to gauge their feedback before we committed."

Outcomes

Using Power PDF, Hall & Wilcox employees can open even large PDF documents rapidly on any digital device. “Our monthly reports are quite sizeable, but Power PDF has no problem at all opening or saving these files quickly from any of our devices,” says Andrew Stott.

“The solution also allows us to search, access and edit PDF files, whether they are authored by us or a third party, with complete ease. Plus, if we need to convert PDFs to, say, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Corel WordPerfect, the solution can handle the task instantly and accurately, with no information lost or corrupted. Overall, it has helped us become more efficient and productive, as we can do things far quicker and save time.”
