Plantrol Systems, Ltd. is a trusted custom software solution partner for the printing and forms manufacturing industry. Plantrol provides software and hardware combinations that allow their customers to manage their business without changing the way they do business.

Plantrol's customers needed to send quotations for their products via e-mail and fax, while retaining the ability to print the quote. Because each delivery method requires a unique format, Plantrol was faced with creating three different output processes.
Plantrol decided to use data2pdf to meet this specific need. Plantrol created a database to hold the field names, files, and the positions on the finished document. Plantrol's process sends this information to data2pdf and the resulting PDF file is then faxed, e-mailed, and/or printed, based on the customer's need at the time. Sanface's technology saved Plantrol production time and their customers are very pleased with the options the PDF allows them to exercise.
Plantrol is currently in the process of offering the PDF output as an upgrade and they are also using it as the standard in the new releases of their software. Their Report Program Generator uses data2pdf to create reports as PDF files that can be viewed, faxed, emailed or printed. They've also incorporated data2pdf into OmniTRIEVE, their document management solution.

British Columbia Ministry of Education project

British Columbia Ministry of Education is using txt2pdf PRO within its K-12 student systems (PEN, SLD, ISS, TSQ).This approached replaced mass mail-outs by using PDF-based email attachments.

Project Details
The Ministry of Education of the Province of British Columbia uses OpenVMS Cognos Powerhouse systems to manage its K-12 student information.
Modules include Student Level Data, Student Number Assignments(PEN), Independent School Funding, and Teacher tracking.
The K-12 systems make use of txt2pdf PRO software to convert text based reports to pdf format.
Initially text email attachments were created but the recipient of the email had to use notepad or some text editor to view and print. As some of the reports were very wide 156 characters, the text base attachments were found to be cumbersome and prone to complaints and problems.
txt2pdf PRO eliminated the need for mass mail-out with an elegant seamless function generating PDF from text reports.
