PDFTextStream enabled the State of Michigan to deliver very tightly-focussed reports to the users of its BRIDGES system. It was selected among the competition because of its ability to reliably extract the text and data necessary from the large PDF reports generated by the system. This extraction capability enabled the State to provide BRIDGES reports in manageable pieces.
"PDFTextStream greatly reduced the development effort needed to segment
and display our large PDF reports," said Chris Weiss, the State's System Architect for the BRIDGES project. "It was much
easier to integrate than other libraries that were reviewed."
The State and its implementation partners compared PDFTextStream with a number of free and open source solutions. According to Mr. Weiss, the choice was clear: "We evaluated several open source PDF libraries; PDFTextStream was selected because of its capabilities, ease of integration, ease of use and performance."
PDFTextStream has been integrated into the BRIDGES project's Java application infrastructure. As implementation and management consultants for the State's Departments of Human Services, Information Technology, and Community Health, Deloitte and Touche and EDS participated in the vetting and recommendation of PDFTextStream for inclusion in the BRIDGES system.
