PDF Automation Server

PDF files constitute the 21st century way of handling documents: people can now redact and sign documents digitally, and the practice is getting increasingly popular in an ever-digitalized world. While the casual user isn't going to concern themselves with PDF automation tasks, companies are much different in comparison.

In the name of streamlining to ensure smoother business operations and save time, companies might look toward PDF automation tools to help them deal with documents and contracts. Through such software, they can  optimize PDF files, sign them, send emails with a predefined template — all automatically. In essence, this is what PDF Automation Server does: it makes life easier for those who often have to deal with online documents.

The program is surprisingly easy to set up and run: the installation is nothing out of the ordinary, and the interface is quite intuitive at a glance. Even with such complex functions, the program manages to provide an easy-to-comprehend experience, making it possible for any kind of user to take advantage of its toolset.

That becomes immediately apparent once you get into the automation itself: the Workflows menu is where you'll be spending most of your time in this app. You can either start directly from a template — optimize PDF files, convert Word documents, and add watermarks to PDFs using the ready-made presets — or tailor the process to fit your use-case.

Lots of automation elements are nested in the Workflows menu. Users can have the program watch a folder, optimize all the PDF files in there, save them anywhere they wish, and then e-mail that document to someone. All of this is done automatically: you just have to set up the parameters. For instance, you can set a name pattern that PDF files have to follow in order to be modified,  compress all the images from a specific folder, convert the documents to a particular extension, and so on.

Users can also secure a document with a password, sign and print it, and then send an email with a predefined template to one or more contacts: all these features lend themselves to a variety of use cases.

PDF Automation Server is a powerhouse of a tool: ways to boost efficiency are always desirable, and this program delivers in droves.
