Long-term storage of digital documents with PDF / A
What happens, if reliable access to CAD drawings is required as much as 20 years later? Opening older documents with state of the art versions of programs often leads to critical problems. The programs used to create the documents and drawings may in the worst case no longer be available at the workplace and access to the data no longer possible.By converting the relevant data to a producer-independent and globally homogeneous archiving format such as PDF / A you can store your documents and drawings at any time and future-proof. These can then be accessed from any computer using an easy-to-use search function.
CIDEON Software can give you optimum support in this. In addition to converting your documents (Office and PDF) to PDF / A we also enable you to check the appropriate documents for PDF / A compatibility with a built-in repair function (PDF/A Check & Repair Connector). This solution is also of course geared to your specific business needs.
Starting the PDF/A Check & Repair solution and linking it to the appropriate SAP processes is hassle-free, ensuring that you can open your documents reliably in the long term and with minimum effort.
Your advantages:
- Secure transition of internal and external documents into the exchange format PDF/A
- Identic appearance of the documents
- Simple handling based on widespread standard worldwide
- No patent right, no license fees
