PDF rendering with authoring applications | approach explanation

In this example, the process shows what happens during a Word to PDF conversion. The rendering engine calls the authoring application (f.e. MS Word, Adobe etc.), prints to PostScript, the PostScript file is converted to PDF. This process, multiplied by thousands of documents for the submission package, can add up to weeks or longer. Most of the solutions that use this technology have another drawback: the solutions must be configured for all different file formats.

PDF rendering with DocShifter | connect to DMS, convert without authoring applications | PDF sent back to DMS.

Thanks to its innovative technology, DocShifter doesn’t need any authoring applications (MS Office or Adobe technology) to run. This significantly improves the conversion speed (up to 10x) and lowers IT infrastructure (licensing, number of servers etc.) costs. This approach drastically reduces risks associated with authoring applications and allows faster go-to-market thanks to lightning fast and more efficient document to submission ready PDF conversion.
