Case Study: Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland) Ltd achieves PDF/A compliance and secure encryption with Pdftools

Encryption of customer reports to meet compliance requirements at Bank Hapoalim

Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland) Ltd, a mid-sized foreign bank, faced a challenge in meeting compliance requirements for its customer reports. The bank needed a way to convert documents into a format protected against retroactive changes while maintaining high quality and small file sizes. They turned to Pdftools and utilized its 3-Heights PDF to PDF/A Converter product to address this need.

Pdftools implemented its PDF to PDF/A Converter as a downstream batch process in the bank's UNIX environment, integrated via shell scripting. This solution ensured that the bank's annual reports were encrypted and complied with important auditing standards. The implementation was successful as it required no modification to existing processes, provided extremely high conversion quality with minimal storage impact, and guaranteed document security.
