SourceForge had an extensive chat with the team at Qoppa Software, and discussed why it is important for all companies and organizations to invest in business process software such as PDF Automation Server.
What exactly is an automation server?
PDF Automation Server is a modular server that provides enterprises such as financial institutions or healthcare organizations with an abundant set of PDF processing functions to streamline their PDF processing, document workflows, and web service orchestration. The server consists of three different modular functions which are the Workflow Module, Rest API Module, and the Web PDF Module.
Can you give more details on each module?
Yes, of course. One of our most popular modules is the Workflow Module which allows companies to create and design their own custom document workflows by using the modern and user-friendly drag and drop interface. By making use of automated processes, organizations can become more efficient and help employees do away with mundane and redundant tasks as well as reduce or eliminate manual errors in processing.
Another module that makes up PDF Automation Server is the REST API Module. Organizations can use REST API calls to seamlessly integrate with web applications or third party products. The module offers a complete set of PDF processing and conversion functions as well, which can be initiated through simple URL calls. The flexible and complete API permits orchestration of PDF processing by providing end-to-end handling of documents. Some of the key features and functions provided are the ability to convert from other formats to PDF, set document security, redact PDF documents, OCR, reduce file size, preflight, apply or verify digital signatures, automate printing of PDF documents, extract or import data, and more.
The last module that PDF Automation Server consists of is the HTML5 PDF Module. This module converts PDF documents on the fly by allowing them to serve end-users with PDF files directly in the browser for viewing and annotating. The module provides users a user-friendly HTML/JavaScript interface allowing end-users to markup and modify PDF documents conveniently in their browser. After users save their modifications, the edits are merged on the server with the original PDF document while staying faithful to the PDF format. Some more key features of this module are the ability to display and view PDFs in any browser, fill interactive forms, add digital signatures, and add or burn redactions. The web module is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, IE, Edge, and Opera browsers and can run on all operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Do you recommend PDF Automation Server for enterprises?
We absolutely believe that all businesses, companies, agencies, institutions, and organizations should have some type of document processing software in order to automate their document workflows and become more efficient. The use of electronic documents has exploded in the last 20 years as PDFs have essentially completely replaced paper for contracts, invoices, statements, forms, and more. It is critical to have intelligent and reliable software to parse, route, modify documents, and automate repetitive tasks. The software is built on Qoppa Software’s solid and proven PDF technology that is made available as an SDK and has been deployed in many server and client applications over the years. As a pure Java application, it can be installed on Windows, Linux, Unix (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, etc), and macOS. I would suggest anyone request a demo of PDF Automation Server now to see if it is a good fit for their organization.
