Case Study: International Nuclear Fuel Company achieves NRC-compliant 60-year PDF archiving and eliminates human error with Adlib Software

Meeting Nuclear Compliance Regulations

International Nuclear Fuel Company faced strict Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements to archive all documentation for 60 years in PDF 1.4a format. They needed to convert .doc, .xls, .rtf, .jpeg and .tiff files, eliminate end‑user human error, ensure PDFs were updated whenever a new signature was added, and integrate directly with Dassault Systèmes PLM. To meet these challenges they engaged Adlib Software and its Advanced Rendering/Adlib PDF Enterprise conversion technology.

Adlib Software implemented an automated, background PDF conversion solution integrated with Dassault Systèmes PLM that creates a new PDF whenever a document is updated or a signature is added. The deployment guaranteed compliant PDF 1.4a archives for 60 years, eliminated user error from the archiving process, kept records current, and allowed users to continue working while conversions ran — delivering automated compliance, direct PLM integration, and reliable, auditable archives.
