Case Study: RadBee achieves compliant Jira sign-offs with iText

iText 7 Core with pdfHTML and pdfRender at the heart of SpeedyPDF Sign-Offs for Jira

RadBee, a UK-based technology company specializing in eQMS software for the MedTech, biotech, and pharmaceutical sectors, needed to develop an application for Jira Cloud that could generate official, compliant PDF records for electronic signatures. Their initial solution using a competing PDF library was unsuccessful, presenting significant challenges with embedding file attachments and designing document templates.

By switching to iText, RadBee utilized the pdfHTML and pdfRender add-ons to seamlessly generate and display PDFs directly within Jira. The iText solution was easy to implement, met all technical requirements for compliance with regulations like FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and was supported by extensive documentation and tools. The resulting product, Speedy PDF Sign-Offs, was successfully launched on the Atlassian Marketplace, providing users with a trustworthy way to sign and archive official records from their Jira workflows.
