Case Study: Kelley School of Business achieves automated PDF resume conversion and streamlined resume distribution with ActivePDF

Indiana University Deploys ActivePDF Tools to Jump-Start Student Careers

The Kelley School of Business at Indiana University needed a simpler, more reliable way for students to submit resumes and for employers to review them. Their legacy process forced students to paste HTML or store Word files on the server, which caused formatting errors, upload/download failures, server strain and a steady stream of support requests.

Kelley implemented ActivePDF Server, DocConverter, WebGrabber and Toolkit to convert uploaded Word and HTML documents to indexed, bookmarkable PDFs, retain original files for editing, and assemble customized resume packets for employers. The solution automated thousands of conversions, reduced troubleshooting, sped up distribution and search, and improved both student and employer satisfaction.
