Development Tools
Abacus Logo

Abacus is Switzerland's leading independent Software Company with over 60,000 customers dependent on their financial software to run their businesses.

In 2004 they needed to add PDF support to their ERP software and choose JPedal after evaluating all the other options. It was also important to have a partner who could provide consultancy, bespoke development and fix issues quickly.

In 2010 they needed to display PDF documents and Forms on the IPad as high quality HTML5 and nothing suitable existed. So they turned to us as the only Company capable (mad enough!) to tackle this problem and BuildVu/Formvu have been a very successful joint collaboration ever since.

Adobe Logo

Adobe, are the inventors of PDF. They purchased Macromedia is 2005, and they wanted to add support for PDF to the Cold Fusion programming language. ColdFusion is written in Java whilst all of Adobe's technology was written in C/C++. They had the choice of either creating a new product in a language they did not use, introducing some very hacky solution, or finding an existing alternative.

As the creators of the PDF file format, using an external library was a big step! It was important that their users felt it had the same high level of support as Adobe's own libraries. After evaluating alternatives, they were impressed by JPedal's PDF support and abilities and have been using it ever since.

Jive Logo

Jive Software is the world's leading provider of social businesses solutions. Millions of users across the private and public sectors depend on Jive to keep their information safe and to help drive mission-critical business processes. They needed a tool to convert PDF files to HTML to allow their customers to easily view their documents online. However security is key to Jive's business model, making this element a top priority.

It is no surprise that they have chosen to use BuildVu. Not only does it allow their users to view important documents on the mobile platform it also permits Jive to hold all their data in-house maintaining the high level of security.

They wanted to provide real-time monitoring for their customers, to increase assurance of a healthy indoor environment and the confidence people need to resume life post COVID.

They needed somewhere to display all their files such as their real-time monitoring. BuildVu was integrated to display files in their platform.

That's why they started using JPedal to present contracts in a browser for easy (and hassle-free) viewing and signing.

They discovered JPedal! As a Java application they utilise JPedal for form rendering. It also meant they could easily display, convert, print and parse their PDF files in Java.

Publishing
Academia Logo

Academia is the world's leading platform for sharing academic research with over 47 million papers and 102 million users each month. They needed to replace an existing system and to bring conversion in-house to cap spiralling costs. Continuity for core service was critical along with low maintenance costs and the ability to reprocess the back catalogue.

The solution needed to be at least as good, if not exceed, the current one in all aspects. The content needs to display as closely as possible to the original PDF while also being copyable.

BuildVu provided the sweet spot in terms of trade-offs between document fidelity versus content fidelity, along with attractive and clear pricing. The high level of support and the active product development were the icing on the cake.

They save their customers money on printing, paper and distribution.

BuildVu provides this important solution for myPaper! It allows them to convert media content and large catalogs of magazines, books, and other printed material in a manner that is sufficient for readers and uses while maintaining the format and integrity of the original documents.

With distributing so much content to so many readers it is no wonder that they chose to use BuildVu. Not only does it quickly convert their content into high quality SVG, it also has many other features. These include customisation features and superior performance in rendering HTML5 and SVG. Zinio also chose IDR for their continued support, and regular releases.

Travel
Swiss Logo

Lufthansa Group travels to around 310 destinations worldwide! Covering so many airlines and so many routes, Lufthansa Group works with thousands of pilots who need access to lots of vital documentation. Some documents were previously displayed in PDF to their pilots. Whilst PDF is okay, they wanted to have it in high-quality HTML5. That is why Swiss had been using BuildVu in their own Pegma application since 2018.

They must rate it as since 2023 the Pegma system (using BuildVu for conversion) has been introduced within the whole Lufthansa Group! So you may well be relying on BuildVu every time you fly!

Travel Market Report Logo

After introducing BuildVu this was no longer an issue as they were able to capture their visitors data! They were also able to provide the best business advice and essential marketplace trends affecting the travel industry.
