Situation
Digital documents are one of the key ways that PPB Advisory communicates with its clients. Like many leading firms, the company uses PDF software to create documents for internal use, and to convert Microsoft Word documents to PDFs before forwarding them to its clients.
Mark Campbell, IT Operations Manager at PPB Advisory, says: “PDF software is an essential tool for our business. Because of the number of PDFs we create, we require a PDF software solution that is fast, capable and reliable.” In the past, PPB Advisory ran two different PDF software platforms simultaneously.
One of the solutions offered extensive functionality, but it was expensive. The other PDF solution was lower-cost, but lacked key functionality, was slow when converting files to PDF, and often froze desktops while processing files.
The Solution
PPB Advisory identified its key requirements for a PDF solution. High on the list was capability. In particular, the new solution needed to offer quick conversion of files to PDF, fast and easy editing of PDFs, the ability to reduce file size, and true and accurate conversion of PDFs back into Microsoft Word and Excel files.
Competitive licensing options and seamless integration with the firm’s existing systems and software were also a priority. While assessing the various PDF alternatives in the marketplace, a client of the firm introduced PPB Advisory to Power PDF.
Designed specifically for business, 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 with unprecedented ease and speed.
