Description

Adlib is a robotic process automation solution designed to help businesses in finance, petroleum, energy, manufacturing, government, and other sectors automatically discover and classify documents from multiple unstructured sources to create clean structured data. Managers can recognize duplicate files, personally identifiable information (PII), and signatures during data extraction processes. The platform enables teams to convert documents from 300+ formats into searchable and auditable PDFs on a unified interface. Adlib offers industry-leading optical character recognition (OCR) functionality, allowing teams to transform JPG, vector files, charts, CAD drawings, and other image files into PDFs. Businesses can also include auto-generated dynamic tables of contents, hyperlinks, watermarks, and headers or footers to automate document assembly operations. Adlib lets team leaders manage the redaction of content in accordance with data privacy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Brexit, International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS 17), and other compliance standards. Employees can also utilize the AI-enabled solution to validate classification tags and export documents.

Description

PDFCreator automates document output in Windows-based business environments, covering the whole creation pipeline from conversion to delivery. It converts print output from any application into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF via a virtual printer, so existing workflows don’t need to change. Businesses use PDFCreator to streamline repetitive document tasks: output is captured, formatted, named, secured, and routed according to configurable profiles. Typical use cases include automated report generation, batch processing of large document sets, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries. Key capabilities include encryption, password protection, digital signatures, watermarking, MSI-based deployment, Group Policy support, and centralized profile management. It works with Word, Excel, browsers, ERP platforms, and essentially any Windows application that can print. PDFCreator is available as a free edition for individual, non‑commercial use, alongside three paid editions tailored to business, terminal server, and broader enterprise deployments.
