Question:
I have hundreds of boxes of documents that contain information I am required to store for at least ten years. I understand the best format to archive these documents is PDF/A? Will your PDF Compressor Enterprise output to PDF/A and make these documents full-text searchable?

Answer:
Yes, PDF/A is the best format for long-term archiving (defined by ISO 19005-1:2005). This standard offers assurance that archived documents will maintain their appearance and readability regardless of which applications and systems were used to create them. And yes, the PDF Compressor Enterprise has an integrated ABBYY FineReader OCR engine and with this tool you can create full-text searchable PDF/A documents in one pass. Additionally, the PDF Compressor applies award-winning mixed raster content (MRC) compression technology and therefore you will save on storage costs with smaller file sizes!

Question:
We are a scan service provider and we’d like to offer your PDF Compressor Enterprise to one of our customers. We’d like to calculate the time needed to complete their project before we finalize the deal. What information is needed in order to calculate how long it will take to compress and convert all of their documents to PDF/A with the PDF Compressor Enterprise?

Answer:
Thank you for your inquiry. The time it will take for you to process this job (or any job) depends on a number of factors. So that we can best estimate, can you provide us with more information regarding the scope of this project? Here are some important variables that we need to solve for before estimating the time it will take to complete this conversion project:

• Number of pages
• Size and resolution (e.g. 8.5 x 11’’ at 300 DPI)
• Various page sizes? Quantity of varying page sizes
• Quality of documents (e.g. grayscale, full-color, black and white)
• File format (e.g. PDF, TIFF, JPEG)
• With or without OCR
• Do you have a deadline or timeframe for completion
• Available hours per day (e.g limited time per day, 24/7)

As soon as we have this information, we can best calculate the time it will take for you to complete this project. Additionally, this information will allow us to recommend a license model best suited for your project. For example, if you are working to meet a deadline we might suggest purchasing additional CPU-core licenses to complete your projects on time.
