DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
MEMBER AREA
Die PDF Tools AG zählt weit über 4000 Unternehmen und Organisationen in 60 Ländern zu ihren Kunden und ist damit ein weltweit führender Hersteller von Softwarelösungen und Programmierkomponenten für PDF und PDF/A Produkte.
Das Portfolio von PDF Tools AG erstreckt sich von Komponenten, Services bis hin zu Lösungen. Die Produkte unterstützen den gesamten Dokumentenfluss vom Rohmaterial, über Scanningprozesse bis hin zur Signierung und der Archivierung in einem rechtlich konformen Langzeitarchiv.
Software der PDF Tools AG wird in unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsbereichen eingesetzt. Sei dies als PDF Rendering & Desktop Tool, für die PDF Konversion und Validierung, zur PDF Manipulation oder Optimierung. Mit den PDF Security und Signatur Komponenten werden zudem wichtige Compliance-Vorgaben erfüllt. Ein Vorteil der Produkte der PDF Tools AG liegt in der breiten Palette von Schnittstellen, welche eine reibungslose und einfache Integration in bestehende Umgebungen gewährleistet.
Die Produkte werden aufgrund der wachsenden Anforderungen des Marktes laufend weiterentwickelt. Da der Support von den Entwicklern selbst übernommen wird, erkennen diese Trends und Bedürfnisse der Kunden rasch und setzen das Wissen bei der Planung für Erweiterungen und Komponenten ein. Sämtliche Entwicklungen erfolgen innerhalb der PDF Tools AG in der Schweiz. Das Unternehmen lagert bewusst keine Programmierung aus, um den gesamten Entwicklungsprozess zentral an einem Standort zu haben und den eigenen Ansprüchen zu der 3-Heights™-Technologie gerecht zu werden.
PDF Tools AG und PDF/A:
Vor mehr als 15 Jahren hat Dr. Hans Bärfuss, der Gründer und CEO der PDF Tools AG, PDF Technologie in Kundenprojekten eingesetzt. Das PDF und PDF/A Format haben sich seither zu einem mächtigen, weit verbreiteten Format und ISO Standard mit nahezu unbeschränkten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten entwickelt. Auch die PDF Tools AG wurde in dieser Zeit zu einem der wichtigsten Unternehmen im Markt für PDF Technologie und hat den PDF/A ISO Standard für die elektronische Langzeitarchivierung massgeblich mitgeprägt.
Als Schweizer Vertreter im ISO-Komitee für PDF/A und PDF, lässt das Unternehmen sein Wissen direkt in die Produkteentwicklung einfliessen. Es entstehen damit qualitativ hochwertige Produkte mit einer effizienten Leistungsfähigkeit – ganz nach dem 3-Heights™ Motto des Entwicklungsteams, welches sich aus qualifizierten Ingenieuren zusammensetzt.
PDF Tools AG counts more than 4,000 companies and organizations in 60 countries among its customers, making it one of the world’s leading producers of software solutions and programming components for PDF and PDF/A products.
The portfolio of PDF Tools AG ranges from components to services through to solutions. The products support the entire document flow, from raw materials to scanning processes through to signing and storage in a legally compliant long-term archive.
PDF Tools AG software is used in various areas of application, including as a PDF rendering and desktop tool, for PDF conversion and validation, and for PDF manipulation and optimization. The PDF security and signature components also ensure that important compliance regulations are met. An advantage of the products provided by PDF Tools AG is the broad range of interfaces, which ensure smooth and easy integration into existing environments.
Due to the growing demands of the market, the products are enhanced and refined continuously. Support is provided by the developers themselves, allowing them to identify trends and customer requirements quickly and use this knowledge when planning enhancements and components. All development activities are performed in-house at PDF Tools AG in Switzerland. The company does not outsource any programming, so that the entire development process can take place centrally in a single location. This helps to ensure the high standards expected by the company, particularly with regard to the 3 Heights™ technology.
PDF Tools AG and PDF/A:
Dr. Hans Bärfuss, founder and CEO of PDF Tools AG, began using PDF technology in customer projects more than 15 years ago. Since then, the PDF and PDF/A format have evolved into a powerful, widely used format and ISO standard that can be used for almost any application. During this time, PDF Tools AG has developed into one of the most important companies on the market for PDF technology, and has played a significant part in developing the PDF/A ISO standard for electronic long-term archiving.
As the Swiss representative on the ISO committee for PDF/A and PDF, the company’s knowledge flows directly into product development. The result is high quality, efficient products based on the 3-Heights™ philosophy of the development team, which consists of experienced engineers.
