Your Previous Work Methods
The need for efficiency in today’s fast paced world is unquestioned. Matching people and their skill sets to proper equipment is becoming a priority in order to achieve high productivity rates. As a consequence, the demand upon you as a single worker is increased and underscored. Your skills and abilities are developed—and all in order to adapt to a technological work environment.
Where you once mailed envelopes, you now email files. Where one would sign, he now encrypts. Everything is done electronically and efficiently; everything is done instantaneously and on a bigger scale. Such is the world of digital workflows. Thus, your work methods in such work systems change as the means by which you accomplish your work change.
Take, for instance, the wide spread use of the PDF format. It has facilitated and changed the way you work with information on a daily basis. The format will continue to do so as it serves as a tool that economizes your work with a digital document and, in particular, when working with a manifold of digital documents.
Your Current Work Demands
Working with computers has a different demand on the average worker. Consider the following cases:
You have a vast amount of electronic files to process on your computer and you have a very demanding supervisor.
Your supervisor needs you to send out to the department heads all business reports for the month. These 50 different reports were created as Word documents and, in addition, all department heads work in different locations.
Two minutes later you receive an email from your supervisor with word that you also need to send out the organization’s latest performance statistics and invoices for recording and analyses by the head manager. These statistics were presented and collected in diverse ways, and thus, exist in different formats such as Excel and PowerPoint.
Five minutes later, that same supervisor emails you again requesting that the outgoing files be transmitted in the PDF format and need to be checked first to make sure that they’re marked and secured properly before emailing them out.
With each new added task comes a challenge that needs to be met. Maintaining productivity, as in all cases, requires the most amount of work to be done with the least amount of labour.
Thus, it might be no surprise that now, as a single individual, you can process a thousand documents: where once you photocopied, you now convert in batches.

Converting in batches?, you ask. How? Through command line programming and typing? Through extra plug-ins in addition to the PDF software on your computer? —Not with Investintech.
