Case Study: WWK Lebensversicherung achieves digital insurance services and PDF archiving with iText
A iText Case Study
iText 7 Core and pdfHTML - enabling online insurance services and document archiving
WWK Lebensversicherung, a leading German life insurance company, faced the challenge of modernizing its legacy PDF processes for digital customer and agent portals. They needed to update their use of iText from version 2 to the newer iText 7 to handle tasks like creating forms, processing digital signatures, and improving their document archiving system, which was inefficiently based on TIFF files.
The solution from vendor iText involved implementing iText 7 Core for dynamic PDF generation and the pdfHTML add-on to directly convert emails into PDF/A for long-term archiving. This replaced the cumbersome TIFF process, making data sharing and extraction significantly easier. WWK successfully migrated its systems, enabling fully digital and legally-compliant online services. The vendor iText provided a more functional API and improved capabilities, leading to greater efficiency and paving the way for the company to explore additional features from the iText 7 Suite.
