Case Study: Postal Regulatory Commission achieves paperless operations, automated delivery, and GPEA compliance with ActivePDF

ActivePDF Enables PRC to Eliminate Paper Waste, Automate Delivery, and Achieve Compliancy

The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), the independent federal agency that oversees the U.S. Postal Service, faced a paper‑intensive workflow that required manually collating and distributing thousands of documents per case. That process generated over a million pages in some cases, cost upward of $200,000 annually in printing and postage, and needed to comply with the Government Paper Elimination Act (GPEA).

PRC integrated ActivePDF Server, DocConverter, and Toolkit into its web portal to convert 280+ file formats to PDF, merge files, automatically stamp docket information, and process simultaneous submissions. The automated solution eliminated most paper handling, reduced costs and foot traffic, accelerated case processing from weeks to hours in some instances, and earned the agency an eGov Pioneer Award.
