PDFFolio: Injecting the brains into PDF documents
PDF is a great format for turning documents to electronic form, preserving all information and appearance. The drawback is that it remains static - “electronic paper”, with the emphasis on the paper part. Searching within, or sorting and cataloging, a collection of PDFs quickly becomes an unwieldy task.
PDFfolio is a collection of tools and methods developed by us for making static PDFs smarter. It “injects” data from a database into a PDF document, and displays and searches that data, quickly retrieving the relevant PDF documents.
PDFfolio can greatly decrease the time and effort required for creating and collating “smart” PDF documents.
PDFfolio has been used in a wide range of applications. Here are some examples:
- As a navigation system for a CD-ROM containing PDF forms and other documents
- As a search and display component for a DVD containing an image collection
- As a parts finding and ordering system for a spare parts catalog
- As a data entry and display module for a form with extensive tabular data
