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

RadBee creates signed Jira PDFs in seconds with iText

RadBee, a UK-based technology company specializing in custom eQMS software for the MedTech, biotech, and pharmaceutical sectors, needed to integrate electronic signatures into Jira Cloud workflows. Their challenge was to develop an application that could generate signed, archivable PDF documents from Jira issues, compliant with regulations like FDA 21 CFR Part 11, while operating in a multi-cloud environment. They initially faced technical problems with a competing PDF library and XSL-FO for template design.

The vendor iText provided its iText 7 Core library with pdfHTML and pdfRender add-ons to process HTML templates and generate compliant PDFs for RadBee's solution, Speedy PDF Sign-Offs for Jira. The implementation was straightforward, with iText enabling the embedding of file attachments and providing excellent documentation. The result is a seamless Jira integration that allows users to create, sign, and archive official records in seconds. The application is now available for free on the Atlassian Marketplace and is being used by a wide range of industries beyond RadBee's traditional customer base.
