Human resources: standardizing formats with webPDF

Classic job application folder

Whether it's resumes, information from social media channels, or the results of performance reviews and guidance sessions, the human resources departments of today's businesses are accumulating enormous amounts of data.

Much time will have to be invested in the information contained in these records if you want to draw conclusions on which to base your organization's strategic decision-making - precious time that often has to be spent doing something else. Handling job applications is a particularly time-consuming task, especially when you consider how they are submitted in a wide range of different file formats. The most-effective way of getting a grip on this situation is by using webPDF to automate the process of standardizing all those assorted formats.

Long-term archiving with PDF/A

The PDF/A format provides the legal certainty you need for long-term archiving and is one reason why it has been an ISO standard since 2005. The format has been perfected since then, and now we have to distinguish between the original PDF/A-1 edition and the newer versions PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 that provide additional features. The overriding advantage of this file format is that the documents themselves contain all the elements needed for reproduction.

Since 2012-06-06, webPDF version 4.0 has been available. This version includes a new file converter for additional file formats, supports PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 standards, and provides an improved web portal.
