Case Study: Cligal saves time for legal professionals with iText 7 Suite

Cligal reduces support staff by 50% with iText

Cligal, an Israeli company providing legal document preparation software, faced significant challenges with their initial PDF library. This library was unstable, causing crashes, producing garbled text, and suffering from a memory leak that prevented the creation of documents over 4,000 pages. These issues required constant manual support and hindered their ability to offer a reliable product. Seeking a robust alternative, Cligal turned to the iText 7 Core library from vendor iText.

By implementing iText 7 along with the pdfCalligraph and pdfOCR add-ons, Cligal gained a comprehensive and stable solution. The iText library enabled reliable handling of large documents, support for right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic, and new features like optical character recognition. The measurable impact was substantial; iText's stability eliminated critical client issues, allowing Cligal to reduce its dedicated support staff by 50% while adding valuable new functionality to its software.
