Adlib PDF for SharePoint®

Complete your SharePoint document management solution with automated document transformation

Extend the value of SharePoint with the most comprehensive set of PDF services to improve the efficiency of your business processes 

Make content stored in SharePoint more accessible

While SharePoint provides core services to store, manage and collaborate on documents, the original document may not be in a format that is accessible to users. Adlib PDF for SharePoint transforms these documents within SharePoint to a universally accessible format for sharing and collaboration. The PDF format ensures that SharePoint users can access all of the content being produced for collaborative processes, without having to ensure that each user is licensed to the authoring software.

Ensure compliancy by centralizing the publishing of SharePoint documents to PDF

Express ensures consistent compliance with regulations by providing the ability to centrally apply standards for document transformation. Centralized publishing features can be configured to suit a wide variety of workflows and regulated industries and can easily be modified to match changing requirements.
