Variable data printing has made tremendous progress since its beginnings​

It caused quite a sensation back in the 1960s: bank statements in plain black text produced by dot-matrix printers and then mailed by name to each account holder. Today the very idea of this might only earn grins from nostalgists, especially in light of how far personalized mailings of all kinds have progressed from such modest beginnings. The international PDF/VT standard addresses the needs of modern variable and transactional printing and brings all the benefits of PDF workflows to the world of personalized and variable data printing.

Administrative workflows are being modernized as more and more government agencies start using the e-case file - and PDF/A is playing a decisive role in all of this.

The call for a modernized workplace has finally reached the courts and government agencies. This development is not only due to the people working in such agencies, who see in the latest technologies a means of making their jobs easier and more efficient, but also to various laws designed to promote such improvements.

Digitally sign and complete legally binding business transactions faster​

It wasn't that long ago that the idea of being able to digitally sign a document and have evidence of its origin and authorship was nothing but wishful thinking. However, with PDF/A, a document specification has been created that makes all this possible. Now contracts and other business transactions executed electronically are not only legally binding but today's reality!
