Are you looking for a highly scalable, fully-automated any-to-PDF converter? Give DocShifter a try; you will see why leading organizations rely on our fast, high-quality PDF conversion capabilities.
10x faster PDF conversion software, with reduced costs
Unlike traditional enterprise PDF converters, DocShifter doesn't need authoring applications (MS Office, Adobe technology, etc.) to perform document-to-PDF conversion. This speeds up the conversion and reduces the required licensing and infrastructure costs.
Integrate with your existing systems
Either through native connectors or Rest API, pull documents from your systems and create perfect PDF renditions.
Add conversion power when you need it the most
Through auto-scaling, your PDF and PDFA conversion services run without disruption.
Reduce risks and strengthen compliance
Using simple desktop tools to generate PDFs will only introduce more risks and slow your conversion process down. With DocShifter, move your enterprise document to PDF conversion to a secure, centralized platform.
Flexible deployment
Choose freely where you run your PDF transformation operations: on-site, in a private cloud, a hybrid cloud or in a public cloud. DocShifter supports deployment on Linux, Windows or Docker.
PDF conversion without manual intervention
DocShifter recognizes incoming files, so you do not need to tell the system what files to expect. Saving you valuable time.
10x faster, highly-scalable document to PDF conversion
Centralize and reduce risks in PDF conversion by eliminating manual tools.
Eliminate risks related to manual PDF conversion and PDF enrichment (headers, footers, bookmarks, security, hyperlinks, watermarks, ToC creation, etc.) using desktop tools.
Centralize document and PDF infrastructure and generate uniform documents throughout the enterprise.
Automatically scale your infrastructure up and down based on your ever-changing PDF conversion needs.
As different divisions use the conversion services, potentially in different countries, the conversion system needs to be able to cope with peak loads. In most cases, period peaks (certain times of day, the end of the month, the launch of a new product) puts the conversion software under stress.
DocShifter’s inherent speed is combined with the scalability of Docker. The workload can easily be spread over as many resources as needed.
This eliminates the high costs of setting up and maintaining a rendering farm and significantly speeds up the document conversion processes.

Enterprises work with a lot of digital documents, in multiple file formats. These documents need to be converted for sharing & collaboration, standardization or archiving. Or simply because today’s systems have difficulties working with older formats.
Converting between formats happens manually, which is inefficient, slow, inconsistent and expensive. Different tools are used to convert documents throughout the organisation. In addition, sectors like life sciences and finance have specific regulatory document formatting and technical requirements that must be met.
DocShifter, an automated document and PDF converter, solves these challenges. The software automatically recognizes documents and emails and converts them to the output format of your choice. In PDF or any other standardized format. Documents can be greatly enriched as well with bookmarks, table of contents, hyperlinks, security, headers, footers and watermarks. To the specifications required by your organisation or the regulators in your industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
PDF conversion software is the term to describe the software that is responsible for PDF conversion/transformation.
Companies use PDF conversion software to convert multiple source formats (Microsoft Office documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint; e-mail and attachments, OpenOffice formats, scanned images, JPG, PNG, etc.) into PDF files.
No, if a document is password protected, DocShifter can not convert that document.
In this case, the conversion process will fail, and DocShifter will trigger an error message.
Yes of course. We thought you were never going to ask.
There are multiple options:
– Hand-held demos with your own content.
– A dedicated environment that you can use to upload files to. Where you can configure your own workflows.
– On-premise trial installations, so you can test quality and performance within your own infrastructure.
DocShifter can handle more than 300 input formats. These input file formats include but are not limited to: Microsoft Office and text file formats (such as DOC, DOT, DOCM, DOCX, DOTX, RTF, HTML, TXT etc.), mark-up file formats (such as HTML, XML, CSS, XSL, XSLT etc.), PDF formats (PDF, PDFA, ODFA etc.), compressed file formats (.tar, .gz, ZIP file with text files, ZIP file with on PDF, Microsoft Offices etc.), image file formats (JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, RAW, PSD, DXG and DWG etc.).

DocShifter subscription pricing is server, volume and functionality based.
To find out more about pricing, please visit our Pricing page and request an estimate.
A few factors can help us estimate this for you:
– Number of documents that need to be converted per day, week, etc.
– How quickly you need to receive the results.
– What repositories you are using.
– Intended infrastructure for our servers and the content (on premise, in the cloud, etc).
– The type of content that needs to be converted.
– Whether high-fidelity / compliant conversion is necessary.
– Do you need High-Availability.
– Is a disaster recovery environment needed.
– How many different non-production environments do you use (test, development, staging, validation, training, etc.)
Please contact us to begin these discussions.
DocShifter can be installed:
– On premise in your own data centre.
– In your private/hybrid or public cloud.
– In Docker containers, orchestrated by Kubernetes.
– On either Windows or Linux. We realize you have a preference.
To learn more, please visit our ‘Platform – Deployment’ page.
DocShifter helps reduce costs in a number of ways:
– Faster performance = less servers needed = lower infrastructure costs = lower licensing costs (e.g. one customer reduced from 10 servers of their legacy tools to 3 DocShifter servers for the same amount of work).
– DocShifter does not require licenses for any Adobe technology, or the native applications used to create the content. No licenses are needed for Office or AutoCAD for example to be able to convert those file formats.
– Since DocShifter is not tied to any DMS, RIM or other platform, installation and ongoing maintenance is much simpler. This reduces internal costs to maintain the tool and any external service fees required.
– Free upgrades are included in subscription fees.
Authoring applications (a.k.a native applications) are applications where the source document is authored with. Most common examples are Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Adobe technology for PDF files, etc.
For enterprise-scale PDF conversion, these authoring applications are installed on the rendition server, and are called for each conversion depending on the formats.
PDF conversion server with Office applications refer to the technology where converting to PDF occurs without the need of Office applications installed on the rendition server.
Thanks to its innovative technology, DocShifter does not require any licences for authoring applications, or any Adobe technology. This allows conversions to happen quicker, and in a most cost-efficient way.
Yes. If you are looking to convert thousands of documents for your project, and are not looking to purchase a software or build up expertise, we can help.
We offer professional document conversion services, where we take the heavy burden of conversion away from you. For more information, please visit our document conversion services page.
