One of a company`s greatest assets is its intellectual capital. An important form of intellectual capital is the documentation created by its employees. This documentation is saved in a variety of file formats on computers throughout the enterprise.
How can a company tap into all of this intellectual capital? TEXTfromPDF gives a company access to the text content contained in PDF documents without requiring any Adobe product. It can automatically extract the text from thousands of Adobe PDF documents in a matter of minutes. The extracted content is saved to text files where it can be easily searched, or archived. Developers can also import the text file contents into a variety of databases for content management purposes
