Do you recognize these challenges?

Manually merging documents costs both time and money

Creating a single report from multiple source documents is a tedious task. Adding a cover page, adding a ToC. All of these take time and a lot of manual steps. Automated report generation solves the challenge, saving businesses both time and money.

Standardizing multiple documents into a single PDF report is risky

Cover pages with logos, graphics, texts, table ofcontents, figures and even tables of tables – standardizing disparate documents into a seamless PDF report is often anything but easy. Being able to automatically merge documents into PDF reports ensures quality and reduces human error.

Science takes time. Your reporting shouldn’t.

Creating single reports from multiple individual source documents can be unnecessarily complex and expensive to manage. Whether it’s for clinical-study reports or general document-level publishing, finding the right solution to automate and generate regulated reports is not just a nice to have, it’s business critical.

The solution? Automate and centralize your report level publishing and report compilation

DocShifter’s Reports+ solution generates seamless PDF reports by merging multiple documents into one or more (compliant) PDF reports ready for regulatory publishing.

By automating the manual steps typically taken to create or compile a report – adding a cover page, tables, watermarks, pagination, headers & footers, and just about everything else you need – Reports+ automated report generation reduces the time and financial burdens associated with manually collating and finalizing reports.

The result? Confidently merged and consistently (compliant) PDF reports.
