There are nearly as many file formats as there are business applications to create them. The past decade of rapid consolidation led to the adoption of more openly accessible file formats such as PDF and Text. At the same time, the popularity of application suites like Microsoft Office left documents created years ago without an application to run them.

These legacy documents hold valuable content, but gaining access to this material is often costly and time consuming. In many cases, it may not even be possible.

A software solution from Adlib will access, convert and publish hundreds of file formats – even if the original applications no longer exist – and transform them into accessible PDF’s. Types of files include:

• Word processing files
• Spreadsheets
• Images
• Engineering drawings
• And many more

Adlib software can even convert images or partially searchable documents into fully searchable PDF or Text files.

Whether used as a standalone document conversion application or integrated with existing document management systems, this cost-effective solution from Adlib Software enables organizations to unlock the information & knowledge trapped in electronic archives and legacy data repositories.
