Address content issues at source.
Automatically check and fix Word documents for compliance.

fda
  • Still manually identifying issues in your Word documents?

    Following strict guidelines for how Word documents should be formatted is time-consuming, manually intensive and typically not centralized.

    It is difficult for authors to ensure all the regulations are followed while also focusing on the content of their documents.

  • Many of your PDF conversion issues originate in the Word document.

    Many PDF conversion problems are caused by issues originating in the source Word documents. Most of these issues require the document to be updated and reviewed again.

    By improving your Word quality checks, you will save time and reduce the risks in your PDF conversion process as well.

  • Authoring involves many repetitive tasks.

    Authoring and preparing content for use in a submission involves many manual checks and time-consuming repetitive tasks. Ensuring consistency across hyperlinks, tables of contents, tables, headings, etc. all consumes a lot of time.

    The number of manual tasks required means authors and submission content preparation teams spend more time focused on formatting the document that should be used on the actual content.

    Check for errors in Word documents and fix them automatically.

    DocShifter can automatically check your Microsoft Word documents for compliance (regulatory or corporate) issues, and automatically fix many technical, formatting and styling errors.

    This saves you time, reduces the risk of non-compliance, and significantly increases the consistency in PDF renditions for later stages in your submission content preparation.

    Reduce the pain of regulatory submissions

    Check the Microsoft Word documents for issues with hyperlinks, headings, paragraphs, tables, style alias, bookmarks, comments and many more.
    Avoid authoring mistakes.

    Focus on content creation, not styling

    Instead of checking and editing Word documents for hours, you can focus on creating the content instead.
    Let DocShifter automatically check and fix Word documents for styling and formatting issues.

    Enable a much-improved conversion process to PDF

    The majority of PDF conversion failures are caused by inconsistencies and authoring issues in the source Word documents.
    Automatically check and fix your Word documents to ensure accurate and compliant (with company and external regulations) PDF files.

    Reduce risks and strengthen compliance

    Using decentralized Word plug-ins and desktop tools will only introduce more risks and slow your authoring process down. With DocShifter, you can accelerate and automate many of your existing validation and quality checks processes.

    Submission ready PDF conversion

    Once your Word documents are checked and fixed, use DocShifter to generate submission-ready PDF renditions. Simplify the process of generating the final PDF files for inclusion in regulatory submissions.

    Integrate with your existing systems

    Either through native connectors or Rest API, pull Microsoft Word documents, check and fix errors and store the fixed documents in desired systems.

    See what our beloved customers have to say about us:

    "DocShifter is converting 36.000 documents per day, coming from all over our company (and external). We have no control over what is coming in. And still the failure rate is below 1%.

    And what really sets it apart from what we were doing before, DocShifter tells us what went wrong, so we can act upon the documents that did not convert".
    Operations Manager Large European Bank
    "DocShifter will save us over 750 hours of manual work per year. And we expect the time savings to increase as we continue to expand our use of DocShifter.

    This is significant for our clients who need the eCTD sequences to be published quickly, accurately and efficiently. "
    Jennie MayDirector, Regulatory Operations - PharmaLex
    "Very powerful tool for document conversion and generation. The DocShifter software goes further than our current needs, and from my point of view quite unique in the industry. Quick adaption due to user-friendly workflow creation functionalities. Possibility to create workflows in a user-friendly (non-IT) way. Possibilities for seamlessly integrations into existing solutions."
    Kris V.ITS Business Partner, Clinical Development
    "We are using DocShifter in conjunction with Documentum software. The rendition performance that is observed so far is more than 4000 documents per hour (on 1 single instance). The output provided is fully compliant to health authority specifications (FDA, EMA, PMDA, HC, SwissHealth, etc.) and is configurable for different countries. A true enterprise document conversion solution.”
    Piyush J. Solution Manager
    "We use DocShifter to prepare compliant, submission-ready PDF renditions for all regulatory content.

    The product is reliable, extremely fast and produces output that is compliant with multiple Health Authorities."
    Large US biotechnology companyRegulatory Information Systems Manager
    "We implemented DocShifter into production and have converted over 35.000 documents. Our failure rate has dropped from over 10% to well under 0.1%. We have seen an astronomical improvement in our document conversion processes thanks to how easy DocShifter was to implement and to use. In the course of 12 months, we are going to convert more than 100.000 documents with DocShifter. Fantastic document conversion solution!”
    Chris B. IT System Administrator - PeopleScout Technology
    "We have documentation in different languages, but when converting everything to PDF for submissions, things got complicated really fast. Our rendition engine couldn't cope with all those fonts, and we lost a lot of time fixing problems that weren't supposed to be there in the first place. We decided to make a switch to DocShifter. Scalability during our peak times, ability to deal with multiple fonts, automation (conversion of source documents to simultaneous submission-ready PDFs for multiple health authorities) and performance. These are just some of the things that make DocShifter such a powerful rendering engine."
    Jade O. Document Management Professional
    "We selected DocShifter for the incredible ease-of-use, the simple configuration and implementation, the high-quality ICH compliant output, and the huge number of formats supported. Performance is excellent, and we reduced the number of rendition servers by a factor of 3. All of this, plus the company’s responsiveness made it an easy choice."
    Regulatory Operations & Global Submissions SpecialistLarge pharmaceutical company
    "DocShifter powers the document conversion solution in Generis’ new CARA cloud offering. “We already support many joint customers who have advanced document conversion requirements met by the integration of DocShifter with CARA. We are now happy to be able to offer this on a pre-built package with New CARA on our cloud for such customers.”
    James KelleherCEO - Generis
    "As we are in the middle of a paradigm shift from analogue to digital in Japan, I have been looking for the right solution to support this for many years. In DocShifter we have found a company with solutions that have been selected by organizations of all sizes because of their responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, class-leading performance and unique capabilities that rise above the competition.”
    Kosuke OmodaPresident - eSA Japan
    "One of the things we love about DocShifter is the graphic interface to configure file transformation flows. The user interface is very simple to use and rare to find within other similar document conversion products. Wide selection of connectors to different solutions (EIM & DMS systems) make DocShifter a great choice for our company as well. We also are very happy with the customer support we receive: extremely friendly and prompt.”
    Nikita L.Information Management Consultant
    "With DocShifter, we are seeing better performance with even less resources, compared to our previous solution. The deployment is very easy, and the utilization of hardware/software resources are extremely efficient. Thanks to DocShifter's architecture and not needing Office applications, we were able to save a lot of money and resources by the switch.”
