Businesses and individuals are seeking ways to improve efficiency in handling documents. New tools are emerging that aim to simplify processes related to PDF files, offering features beyond simple file conversion.
Enhanced Document Management
A new approach to document workflows focuses on automation. This includes batch converting documents to and from PDF formats while maintaining quality and layout. Automated e-signature workflows are also a key component, allowing users to send, track and manage signature requests using preconfigured templates.
Streamlining Data Extraction
Form processing is being streamlined through automatic data extraction and organization. This aims to save time and improve accuracy. Data from tables within PDFs – even those with complex formatting – can be automatically identified and extracted into Excel spreadsheets for analysis.
Customizable Workflows and AI Integration
Users can design workflows tailored to their specific team needs, encompassing document approvals and secure sharing setups. New tools, like Nitro AI, are being introduced to accelerate workflows and simplify tasks. Document Assistant, currently in beta within Nitro Workspace, is designed to boost productivity.
One user, Dottie C., noted the ease of preparing documents, combining them with supporting materials, and sending them for signatures, receiving the signed document automatically upon completion.
