Stamp, split and merge PDF documents automatically

Simply converting documents from one file type to another is only part of the document transformation equation. In many cases there is a need to edit original documents in order to create new ones that meet the needs of corporate guidelines or regulatory governance. 

PDF Stamping & Appending  

With ExpressPublishing Server, a server-based PDF editing software from Adlib Software, documents can be automatically appended with PDF stamps, tables of content, title pages or common elements such as legal text. Systematically add customizable PDF watermarks, page numbers, headers, footers, disclaimers or document control data like Bates numbers, time/date stamps or status information. 

PDF Document Assembly 

Assemble content from diverse sources and file formats into a single PDF document using Adlib's best of breed PDF document server. For large publications, volumization and link management routines allow users to split or merge PDF documents into manageable chunks. It is also possible to insert tabs and slip-sheets as well as create printer command files while preparing PDF documents for printing on production printers. 

Automatic Tables of Contents

When editing PDF documents, its critically important to manage changes to the associated Tables of Contents (TOC), Bookmarks and Indexes. Adlib ExpressPublishing Server takes the guesswork out of editing PDF files. As PDF documents are merged together or disassembled, ExpressPublishing Server tracks changes to the original PDF document and applies these changes to the Table of Contents, Bookmarks and Indexes of the resulting PDF document.

Compatible With Over 300 File Types

Although on its own, ExpressPublishing Server represents a powerful PDF document server designed to edit PDF documents and return PDF files as part of the standard document workflow process, by adding Adlib Software's ExpressConversion Server and/or its Extended Output Module, ExpressPublishing Server has the capability to work with over 300 different file types in addition to PDF.

Key Benefits

Fully Automated Server-Based Publishing

Repurposing documents can often mean hours of manual intervention. Whether you are adding a corporate logo to each page, adding footers and headers or placing a watermark on each page, the time it takes to manually transform a document can be astonishing. Multiply this by hundreds if not thousands of times and you will start to get a clearer picture of the cost of manual manipulation.

Now imagine a workflow process where documents are automatically brought in one end, transformed automatically based on predefined criteria and automatically published on the other end in a matter of seconds. How much would that be worth to you? How much time would you save? What would be your opportunity cost?

It's Flexible

All of the features of ExpressPublishing Server can be preconfigured (or configured on the fly by using Relay, our browser-based User Interface), to suit all your needs. Establish rules based on projects, user profile or corporate governance.

Set stamping features to be applied to every page, page ranges, every other page, or specific pages. Specify exact or relative position on the page or have ExpressPublishing Server automatically apply stamps based on selective criteria such as changing page sizes and dimensions, landscape or portrait.

Adlib ExpressPublishing Server similarly handles document assembly by taking specific instructions or by applying logical rules, which are then interpreted by the server to force page splitting and insert tabs and slipsheets and adjust Tables of Contents, Bookmarks, Hyperlinks and Indexes accordingly.

Users can also assemble multiple documents and merge to PDF for higher compatibility.

It is Scalable

Additional ExpressPublishing Servers can be quickly and easily added to the network as publishing demands dictate. The core engine is fitted with a load balancing manager that automatically routes jobs to take advantage of additional processing power. This same feature ensures that jobs get completed by monitoring jobs on various servers and rerouting jobs that do not get completed if something happens to that server such as a power failure or hardware problems.

It is Easy to Integrate

Adlib ExpressPublishing Server easily integrates with business applications and document workflows. Using open XML messaging standards combined with a Web Service Interface, ExpressPublishing Server easily integrates with business applications regardless of the platform.
