Quick Facts

Who We Are: Adlib is the leading expert in document-to-PDF transformation. We collaborate closely with the world's largest organizations to optimize the efficiency of all business processes with document-to-PDF transformation solutions.

History: Adlib was founded in 1998 by four principals who had a combination of more than 80 years of information technology experience. They envisioned a best of breed solution to manage automated document transformations and choose PDF as the standard conversion format to solve the problem of having to organize and distribute large volumes of legal information from hundreds of plaintiffs to dozens of law firms involved in a high-profile legal case. Adlib's mandate was to reduce the escalating cost of content organization and distribution while achieving optimum levels of accuracy and thoroughness.

Since the company's inception, Adlib's products have been designed to adapt to the unique requirements of any document transformation requirements and to evolve and adapt (as our name "Adlib" suggests) as those requirements become more complex. Although we have grown considerably, our philosophy remains the same - to be the leaders in document-to-PDF transformation.

Mission: Adlib's mission is to continuously make content-based business processes more efficient for the world's largest organizations. We do this to optimize productivity, mitigate risk and reduce costs by improving the efficiency, quality and control of document intensive business processes.
