The Challenge Related to Manual PDF Report Generation

The company traditionally used manual methods to compile PDF documents for regulatory submissions (510k & PMA), as well as other reports. This involved merging multiple PDFs, which was time-consuming and required various tools. Additionally, managing documents across different systems added complexity. The process included locating and processing individual PDFs, manual merging with bookmarks and table of contents, applying headers, footers, pagination, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements such as font size and hyperlinks.
