PDF Search

When it comes to PDF search, speed, accuracy and ease of use are often cited as key requirements. Given these variables and the prominence PDFs play in the average knowledge worker's world, ISYS set out to deliver a superior PDF search experience that overcomes the typical limitations found in alternative solutions.

We did this by offering capabilities such as hit highlighting and hit-to-hit navigation within the native PDF environment, designed to provide users with a faster, more efficient means for locating content contained in this format. Additionally, ISYS Outline Browse enables users to quickly view relevant sections of PDF documents without first opening or downloading the whole file -- a useful feature for very large documents.
