Services

We don't just license software at Snowtide Informatics. We also build truly customized solutions to tackle your most demanding PDF content problems.

Tell us about your challenge. In fact, ask us anything. We offer a full range of development and integration consulting services, from tackling extremely complex content-to-data conversion processes to helping your IT staff navigate a straightforward integration of PDFTextStream into your application.

Custom Development

We have a great deal of experience and expertise in solving a wide range of PDF content extraction problems in industries ranging from financial services to government, healthcare and others. While each challenge we tackle is always unique, most tend to fall into one of the following categories:

Selective Extraction

These projects involve the intelligent extraction of only certain sections of content from PDF documents. These are typically very complex challenges, often involving highly proprietary text and document analysis techniques that we have refined over a number of years. Implementing solutions to selective extraction problems often yields significant operational cost savings, especially when the alternative is to employ a manual process.

Content-to-Data Conversion

Converting content to data is a very critical function in many industries, yet it is widely accomplished using extremely costly manual processes. Our experience in this particular field has come primarily by partnering with large financial institutions. These institutions are constantly being barraged with content, much of it arriving or available in PDF format, which needs to be converted into structured data in order to be integrated with existing back-end systems.  Eliminating manual processing of this content and transitioning to an automated extraction and conversion process can yield huge cost savings and significantly boost conversion accuracy.

Enabling Search

In these scenarios, an organization will typically have a custom indexing and search system (or perhaps needs to build one). However, it does not yet handle PDFs -- or at least not satisfactorily. In these cases, we can combine PDFTextStream with a quality indexing backend, and whatever custom document handling the organization is looking for.

Under this category we also build document auditing services. While similar to a pure search scenario, these projects also tend to have a reporting component that indicates which PDFs do not meet the auditing requirements. Documents containing (or not containing) certain sensitive words, phrases, or other text patterns can then be flagged for further analysis.
