Are there other tasks which, ideally, could be done in the same interface where you edit your PDFs? One obvious example is scanning. Going Beyond eCopyĪs long as you're replacing eCopy, take a step back and look at your entire workflow.
For example, the best eCopy replacement would let you simply drag-and-drop PDF files on each other to combine them, or right-click on a PDF file to extract pages from it or split it into multiple files. Often these file-level manipulations are best performed outside of a PDF editor. An eCopy Alternative for PDF File ManipulationsĪ separate category to consider in your eCopy alternative is PDF file and page-level manipulations, like combining (stacking) PDFs, inserting one PDF file into the middle of another, splitting apart PDF documents, pulling pages out of a PDF into their own file, etc. A few common tasks: adding annotations and highlights, filling out PDF forms, stamping/watermarking, touching up scanned images, snapshotting part of a PDF page, digitally signing PDFs, and password-protecting PDFs. Consider the ones that you perform the most often, and make sure that they're not just included in your choice of eCopy replacement, but that they're easy to use and pack the power you need. PDF editing involves a broad range of tasks. We'll cover file manipulations in the next section.
Replacing eCopy's PDF Editing FeaturesĮCopy's biggest selling point is PDF editing and PDF file manipulation. Instead, your eCopy replacement should allow you to quickly and conveniently convert just about any kind of file to PDF.
What do we mean by that? Many software packages require you to open a file then print it to PDF, a process that requires multiple mouseclicks and a minute or longer. You need a solution that can easily convert many different kinds of file to PDF, and preferrably do it on-the-fly. 41ĬREATE PDF/A THROUGH THE PRINTER DRIVER.When you're dealing with a PDF-heavy workflow, one of your primary concerns in looking for document management software to replace eCopy is PDF conversions.
