Case Study: University of Michigan achieves rapid, automated PDF conversion and faster content delivery with ActivePDF Server and DocConverter

DocConverter and Server Create Digital Workflow for Staff and Students at University of Michigan

The University of Michigan’s Administrative Information Services (MAIS) supports thousands of staff and students who need access to online training and administrative materials across a wide range of desktop environments. MAIS struggled with a slow, manual process for converting diverse document types to PDF, which required dedicated staff and delayed timely publication.

MAIS implemented ActivePDF’s DocGenius Server and DocSight DocConverter to centralize and automate PDF conversion at the server level. The solution enabled batch conversion and direct publishing, cutting conversion time from hours to minutes, reducing maintenance and training costs, simplifying administration, and freeing staff to focus on producing high‑quality content and faster delivery.
