callas software would like to welcome you at their booth in Hall 3, stand A18 from March 6 - 10, 2012, in Hannover, Germany where you can discover how companies and organizations can easily archive their documents as PDF/A with pdfaPilot 3.
Archiving native documents
Callas pdfaPilot 3 already has support for the upcoming PDF/A-3 standard, expected to be released later in 2012. This new part of the PDF/A standard brings with it the possibility to store any file - even non-PDF files - inside PDF/A-3 container files. This enables creating long-term archival documents that carry the native documents or dynamic data in them.
Guaranteed PDF/A conversion
When archiving documents it is extremely important that all documents can be archived. To enable this, pdfaPilot 3 uses advanced processing methods to guarantee conversion to PDF/A. If possible the PDF file will be optimized and brought into line with the PDF/A standard by optimizing the internal PDF structure. If that fails however, the file can be converted into an image. Good to know: the text is completely preserved and remains fully searchable in your archive.
Large environments: SharePoint and distributed processing
For users of SharePoint, the new version of callas pdfaPilot allows easier creation of PDF/A files. By integrating pdfaPilot 3 with the Microsoft application platform, documents of various formats, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Project, Publisher, etc. can be converted directly to PDF/A within SharePoint.
Another major new feature is support for distributed processing. This enables pdfaPilot Server to be configured in such a way that it does load balancing between any number of additional servers in a highly efficient and easy to maintain way.

callas pdfaPilot 3 is available immediately and comes in two versions.
