myPDFconvert - Professional PDF Converter
With the PDF/A standard ISO 19005-1, a secure format standard for long-term archiving of electronically created documents was finally passed in September 2005. A large part of the various documents in existing document archives does not even fulfill the minimum requirements of the PDF/A standard
myPDFconvert is a software product for converting documents of various PDF and graphics formats to PDF/A-compliant documents or to files according to other PDF specifications.
New ISO-standardized compression methods such as JBIG2 (ISO/IEC 14492) and JPEG 2000 (ISO/IEC 15444) considerably reduce the storage requirement for compressed documents compared to traditional methods such as TIFF G3 and G4. Both new algorithms, JBIG2 and JPEG 2000, allow lossless as well as lossy compression and can therefore be customized regarding quality and file size.
The main purpose of myPDFconvert is the conversion or correction of already archived PDF or TIFF documents intended for long-term storage. Display, exact representation and reproducibility of such documents must be guaranteed for a specified period. This period can be laid down by law, e.g. 10 years for invoices in Germany.
Use in document workflows: myPDFconvert not only converts various PDF documents but even graphics files to PDF/A. It uses PDF as a container for possibly compressed images. Therefore the product is also important for handling incoming mail as it allows immediate PDF/A-compliant conversion of new digital documents and of material scanned in-house.
Splitting PDF files into pages or individual documents and merging individual documents into large PDF files are additional functions of the basic product. Even stamps or watermarks can automatically be added to a PDF/Acompliant document in order to record processing steps optically. While until now splitting into documents was only possible with PDF input files, the integration of the OCR procedure as of Release 1.1 enables this function even for scanned documents.
Processing modes: myPDFconvert can be used via its GUI, from Command Line (CLI) and via application interfaces (API).
Optional: Compression, OCR - Via its GUI, myPDFconvert also offers processing options for high-performing compression of documents in several PDF and graphics formats as well as an integrated OCR processing
