Adlib Does Superb Job Producing PDF/A Only Documents on Demand… Adobe PDF Printer Doesn’t Even Mention It

By Scott Mackey | June 3, 2011

The power of social media was once again driven home for us at Adlib (and we are enthusiastic participants ourselves on LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter) when I came across a post this week by a business person on the LinkedIn Group, SharePoint 2007 and 2010.

Louis-Philippe Lavoie, Senior SharePoint Architect, Groupe GSoft Inc. in Montreal, wrote in the group’s discussion area:

Adlib does a superb job of producing PDF/a only documents on demand. Most other small tools (even Adobe’s own PDF Printer) don’t even mention it.

Both myself and Louis-Philippe were responding to a question posted by Greg Raymond, SharePoint Administrator at Linc Energy in Brisbane, Australia, who asked:

“Does anyone use PDF/a. We are considering using it for document retention within SharePoint and I’m wondering what the community thinks.”

What about you? What do you think of using PDF/A for document retention within SharePoint?
