pdfaPilot Server 2 by callas software is the industry-leading solution for ISO 19005 (PDF/A) compliant implementations.

A server-based application equipped with the same validation technology as the Preflight function licensed to Adobe® for the Adobe® Acrobat® 9 Pro application, pdfaPilot Server 2 performs two key functions:

  1. Automatic conversion of existing PDF files into PDF/A conforming content.
  2. Automatic validation of conformance in existing PDF/A-flagged content.

pdfaPilot Server 2 is the professional solution for businesses and government agencies of all types.

The software turns all types of PDFs into ISO 19005-1 conforming PDF/A documents:

  • PDFs created in Office applications
  • interactive forms
  • invoices
  • construction drawings
  • technical documentation
  • presentations
  • newspapers
  • books

callas pdfaPilot Server 2 automatically saves non-compliant PDF files as valid PDF/A documents. Its powerful hot folder-based operation allows unequalled automation and integration.

Benefits

Converts large volumes of PDF files into truly reliable PDF/A files with a minimum of human intervention. 

Provides hot folder automation controlled through a graphical user interface for easy and immediate operation.

Offers easy and flexible integration through its command-line interface.

Reduces risk of data loss due to not being able to open or display existing documents in the same way in 10, 20 or 100 years from now, or simply on a new computer.

Saves time by not only analyzing, but also correcting and converting existing PDF files to PDF/A within seconds.

Highly convenient thanks to its intuitive user interface and setup with the touch of a few buttons.

Delivers the most field-tested quality assurance in converting regular PDF files into reliable PDF/A files because it uses the same validation technology that callas also licenses to Adobe® for the Preflight function in its Acrobat® 9 Pro. It also passes widely recognized tests like the Isartor Test Suite.

Provides the industry’s most extensive PDF/A analysis and validation capabilities. In addition to PDF/A validation, pdfaPilot Server users can enforce documentation and archival policies.

Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements in terms of long-term archiving. PDF/A is steadily becoming the law, with document retention in PDF/A a regulatory requirement. pdfaPilot Server 2 can help workflow managers and document repositories meet these needs now and into the future.
