Product: Adobe Acrobat® Table/Formatted TextDeveloped by BCL Technologies for Adobe Systems Incorporated, a premier provider of award-winning software solutions for Network Publishing, including Web, print, video, wireless and broadband applications.The CompanyAdobe Systems helped launch the desktop publishing revolution in 1982, and remains at the heart of the next publishing revolution, Network Publishing. Network Publishing is about making reliable, visually rich information available to anyone, anywhere on any device. Adobe continues to set standards in Web, print and video publishing by driving the delivery of compelling content regardless of platform or device. Today, Adobe continues to build award-winning software solutions for Network Publishing, including Web, print, video, wireless and broadband applications.The ChallengeAdobe Portable Document Format, or PDF, is a universal file format that preserves fonts, formatting, graphics, and colors of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. It is a final format, in the sense that it is designed for viewing and printing, rather than editing.Adobe found that while people loved the consistent, rich, and portable document view that PDF provided, the inabilities to extract objects such as text, tables, and graphics were serious concerns for end-users from a wide range of industries, such as pharmaceutical and financial industries, that relied heavily on PDF documents.BCL's SolutionWith its extensive expertise in the field of PDF, BCL realized that the challenge Adobe Systems faced lied in the fundamental document structure of PDF, which contained little or no content structural information. This meant that objects such as graphics, tables and paragraphs, while defined in other document-authoring packages, were simply a collection of text items in PDF.With that understanding, BCL developed a patented technology that detected table and paragraph structures in PDF. The development led to an award-winning Acrobat plug-in that allowed users to extract information from PDF with the document structure completely intact. This technology has been incorporated by Adobe Systems, and is now an invaluable feature of Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and 5.0.
Product: IBM PDF to ASCII File ConverterDeveloped by BCL Technologies for IBM, a leading company in hardware and software technology.The CompanyInternational Business Machines Corporation (IBM) uses advanced information technologies to provide solutions for their customers. The Company offers a variety of solutions, including systems, products, services, software and financing. IBM's three hardware product segments are comprised of Technology, Personal Systems and Enterprise Systems. Other major operations consist of a Global Services segment, a Software segment, a Global Financing segment and an Enterprise Investments segment.The ChallengeIBM regularly receives circuit board drawings in PDF format. Although accurate and precise in displaying the document, these PDF files are not compatible with IBM's existing document management systems. In order to archive and index the PDF document in the system, they need a solution that systematically and automatically extracts image and textual information from these documents and imports them into a database.BCL's SolutionSince IBM required an automated process, BCL first developed an "intelligent" solution that analyzed each PDF document automatically. The software would identify and break down the document content into 3 categories: text, tables and graphics. A converter was developed to output the processed PDF content into ASCII. With careful planning and precise algorithms, the output was produced with over 98% accuracy, recorded by extensive testing from both IBM and BCL. With BCL's PDF to ASCII Converter, IBM was able to catalog thousands of circuit board drawings in their document management system on a daily basis. 
MS Wireless targets over $500K annual savings with BCL Custom PDF Technology
Developed by BCL Technologies for SONY Electronics Inc., a leading manufacturer of audio, video, communications, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets.The CompanySONY Electronics Inc. in North America represents the largest single geographical operation of the SONY Corporation with nearly $11 billion in sales. SONY Electronics employs approximately 20,000 people in North America. Operations include manufacturing and engineering, design, sales, marketing, distribution, systems integration and customer service of electronics and recording media products for the consumer, IT, broadcast, commercial and institutional market segments.The ChallengeBetween 1994 and 1998, SONY migrated all of their repair manuals, schematics, diagrams, and documentation to PDF in order to reduce printing and distribution costs. Although this initiative effectively saved the company time and money, they soon found that the electronic format had several disadvantages. PDF was not suitable for displaying complex schematics because they were difficult to view on a monitor. Users were unable to trace the countless connecting lines between components, or to determine a part’s description.Navigating the content in the PDF files was a great challenge and it took an enormous amount of time. Furthermore, the average document size ranged from 150 to 175 pages, so it was counterproductive to require users to print the schematics and physically highlight the connections. By 2004, it was evident that SONY needed a method to help make their documentation readable and easier to view.BCL’s SolutionBCL created a PDF Schematic Tracing tool that automatically highlights the connections between components, and associates them with their part descriptions directly in the PDF manual. This Adobe Acrobat Plug-In allows SONY to pre-process their manuals so that engineers, repair personnel and support technicians can quickly trace the connections in complex schematics. By simply clicking on a connecting line in Acrobat, the entire path is highlighted in red or blue, making them easier to trace. Hyperlinks are embedded in each component, and clicking them will jump to the description and part number described later in the documentation. By implementing the PDF Schematic Trace tool, SONY was able to continue using their paperless distribution methods to deliver detailed, easy-to-read manuals through their Electronic Service Information (ESI) subscription channel.

For research, education and market information, Rogers Medical Intelligence Solutions is the source for clinical information.The ChallengeOn a daily basis, Rogers MIS aggregates the content of clinical findings presented at medical society
proceedings from around the world for analysis by its database search engine technology.The information arrives in various media formats. Many sources employ layouts where an individual piece of content may wrap across columns or pages. Rogers MIS needed a method to demarcate the beginning of each piece of content for presentation to its ingestion and content storage systems. The challenge was to batch export each piece of content as a single page graphic file for analysis by OCR workflow connected to relational database and content storage systems.BCL's SolutionBCL created BCL Rogers Jade, a graphic file extractor based on its standard Jade product. This Adobe Acrobat Plug-In allows Rogers MIS personnel to to easily draw the boundaries of thousands of medical meeting articles within a single PDF file, even if they extend across multiple columns or pages. After all the articles have been delineated, with a click of a mouse button, BCL Rogers Jade exports high resolution TIFF files into the work flow system. In the first six months since implementing its new technologies beginning in January, Rogers MIS captured and analyzed word-for-word 150,000 medical articles, aided substantially by the use of BCL Rogers Jade.

Through Abbott Search, an end-user would be able to search for a particular term or word within a PDF document. The results were 100% accurate and instant. Additional navigation features were added to further facilitate the searching process. 
Product: Donnelley JadeDeveloped by BCL Technologies for Donnelley Financial Group, a leading financial printer of SEC compliant documents in EDGAR II HTML and EDGAR ASCII format.The CompanyHeadquartered in Chicago Illinois, with regional offices throughout the world. R.R. Donnelley Financial (RRFD) provides premier information management and printing services to the worldwide business community. State-of-the-art technology combined with process expertise, results in total solutions for the document management and distribution needs of their customers. Using the latest in digital communication to link their worldwide network of production facilities. This, plus the capability to implement solutions in both paper and electronic formats, helps them communicate effectively and efficiently with their customers.The ChallengeRRDF was faced with the challenge of reducing turnaround time for conversion of native Desktop (DTP) documents to the appropriate EDGAR II HTML and EDGAR ASCII formats for filing with the SEC. The challenge was to utilize Adobe® Acrobat®'s PDF capabilities while also allowing for extraction and conversion of content into editable HTML 3.2 and ASCII file formats, with or without graphics.BCL's SolutionIn November 1999, RRDF's Integration Engineering Team awarded a contract to Santa Clara-based BCL Technologies (BCL) for the development of a software solution. Together, RRDF and BCL developed Donnelley Jade.Donnelley Jade is designed to maximize efficiency in the data conversion process. It converts PDF files into SEC-compliant EDGAR II HTML and RTF for RRDF's EDGAR ASCII filing purposes. In addition, it is capable of converting PDF documents into standard Web HTML and RTF files, giving it the potential to serve as a powerful data conversion tool for other R.R. Donnelley work groups.Donnelley Jade converts PDF files (or any native or postscript file format that can be converted into PDF) into SEC-compliant EDGAR II HTML 3.2. Using a unique "zoning" technology patented by BCL, it takes graphically complex SEC-related financial documents and automatically separates their structures into zones. (Each zone consists of a single element -- a graphic, piece of text, list or table.) The software can then either automatically sequence the zones into a natural reading order or allow users to fine tune or re-sequence (or both) them using a zone editor before outputting them to searchable, downloadable, SEC-compliant HTML 3.2."Donnelley Jade already has proven itself," says Joe Raza, Project Manager for Donnelley Jade. "We have reduced our turnaround times for SEC filing of non-proprietary (CFS and ProFile) documents by 75 percent." RRDF accomplishes this by writing native DTP documents into PDF format, then using Donnelley Jade to do the final conversion. In addition to converting PDF files to EDGAR II HTML 3.2, it can be used to extract text, tables and graphics from PDF files into RTF in order to recreate the documents in DTP or proprietary applications. It can also be used as an intermediate process file conversion tool for converting client-supplied DTP (or PDF) files to Web HTML via RTF.Because users can employ the zone editor to either fine tune or re-sequence (or both) the zones before a document is converted, Donnelley Jade allows for a great degree of control over the output without having to resort to an HTML editor to refine the document's final appearance. "This software prevents complex PDF documents from becoming publishing 'dead ends,'" says Raza. "Donnelley Jade lets users bring documents back to the desktop for multipurpose use."
