Case Study: Car-Pass achieves 10x faster PDF generation with iText

Car-Pass speeds PDF generation 10x with iText

Car-Pass, a non-profit agency preventing odometer fraud in Belgium, faced significant challenges with the performance, scalability, and security of its legacy IT system for generating PDF certificates. To rebuild its platform, Car-Pass partnered with Roots Software, which used the iText PDF library to address the business-critical need for faster and more reliable document generation.

Using iText, Roots Software implemented a solution that provided dynamic PDF templates and QR codes. The result was a tenfold improvement in document generation speed, reducing the time to produce a certificate from 900 milliseconds to under 90 milliseconds. This allowed Car-Pass to render ten times more certificates simultaneously and achieved substantial data footprint savings. The project, completed on time, met all critical requirements thanks to the iText solution.
