Streamline Document Management: Combine Documents Multiple Sources into a Single, Archive-Ready PDF Portfolio using the PDF Tools Conversion Service Dossier Workflow

From years of experience of working with our customers at PDF Tools, we know document management is not easy. For example for an insurance company, managing the flood of documents from a single medical event can be daunting. Each consultation, diagnosis, and treatment generates paperwork, leading to a chaotic mix of vital records that are difficult to manage and retrieve. The Conversion Service Dossier Workflow transforms this complexity into simplicity, making document management effortless and efficient.

What is a PDF Dossier?

A PDF Dossier, akin to Adobe's "PDF Portfolio," is a structured, single PDF document that consolidates various document types. Unlike standard portfolios, PDF Tools is able to ensure each dossier is archive-ready, conforming to PDF/A standards, providing a superior solution for document preservation.

The screenshot below shows a PDF Portfolio created automatically using the PDF Tools Conversion Service by passing multiple PDFs to the Dossier Workflow. The bookmarks on the right are also created automatically allowing the final document to be easily navigated.
