deltaPDF – end with manual PDF creation

PDF documents are an important factor for internal and external communication in many companies. Product data is often summarised and prepared as data sheets, price lists or catalogues and distributed to employees or customers. The problem with this, however, is the large amount of time required if the data is stored in different sources, is customer-specific or is also required in different languages. How can this be optimised?



By using our deltaPIM, companies have already taken a major first step – the data is in one central location, up-to-date and clearly structured. To further optimise the next step – the automatic generation of PDF documents – we have developed the deltaPDF tool. Templates (to control the look of the PDF) can be selected via a user interface and the desired data can be selected from the PIM. A PDF with this data is then generated at the touch of a button – optionally with an automatic table of contents, links to your own website or to a shop, page numbers, cover page and attached information such as terms and conditions, contact details etc..



This means that only a fraction of the time is needed that would be required to create PDF documents manually. It also ensures that the design is always standardised and sources of error are virtually eliminated. Finally, the system accesses precisely the data that is stored in the PIM. There is also a preview function so that the document can be viewed and proofread before the PDF is created.



As the tool is an online application, the authorisation system can be used to determine which account certain users can work with. In principle, however, there are no ties to computers or networks – all that is required for use is a browser and Internet access.



It is also technically possible to connect the deltaPDF generator to other systems, e.g. ERP systems, shops, websites, internal databases and so on. Our interface is very flexible …
