For our Conversion Server to not only perform particular jobs as the central conversion hub for the SAP DMS, but also to really take over all of a company’s conversion jobs, it needed some updates. That’s why we developed Corporate Conversion Server 2.0 with the following additional features.

The right orientation of drawings is important when using automated print output via large-format devices if connected to an online folding machine. Technical drawings must be rotated in such a way that the legend is visible at the top of the paper batch to the folding machine.  Automatic rotation can be difficult in some cases, however. Differentiating between landscape and portrait orientation, or rotation to the orientation required for the output device, can be easily done. What’s not easy is recognizing whether drawings are right-side up before or from automatic rotation.

We've prepared a new case study for you: Archive for Patient Records - Conversion and storage according PDF/A-ISO standard. The European hospital center CHUV searched for a possibilitiy to convert all documents automatically according to ISO standard. 8000 employees from 92 nations care for more than 41,000 patients yearly. In this connection around 4,000 files must be handled with different formats like docx, html, rtl, and TIFF. With a conversion workflow and the DPF technology from SEAL Systems this challenge was solved without any problems.

Adobe LiveCycle servers are a family of server products catered to the various demands of business processes with heavy document use. Among other things, they automate the diverse PDF functions which Adobe desktop products are known for. Adobe has recently notified its customers and partners that this LiveCycle ES platform will now be replaced by the new platform Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). In this blog post we explain the consequences of this replacement.

Most conventional tools for creating PDF/A-2 can only create single PDF/A files. The newest version of PDF Longlife Suite from SEAL Systems can also convert nested or embedded files, such as e-mails with attachments or Excel sheets embedded in Word documents, into PDF/A-2. Here the use of the PDF/A-2’s property itself is essential for it to be a container for other PDF/A files.
