Case Study: Egress accelerates secure PDF collaboration and redaction with PDFTron

Egress delivers document collaboration in 2 months with PDFTron

Egress, a human layer security service provider, needed to enhance its secure platform with professional PDF viewing and redaction capabilities for its users. Their challenge was to add these web-based features quickly and securely to differentiate from competitors, while minimizing development costs and avoiding the need to maintain complex document-processing code in-house. They turned to the vendor PDFTron (Apryse), specifically utilizing its WebViewer SDK, to embed these features directly into their application.

PDFTron provided a client-side JavaScript SDK that integrated seamlessly into the Egress Secure Workspace. This solution enabled secure, in-application PDF viewing and redaction without users needing to leave the platform, and later added real-time collaboration features. The results were significant: Egress delivered the document collaboration feature in just two months versus an estimated eight months in-house, achieving substantial time-to-market acceleration and cost savings. PDFTron's scalable solution also freed Egress's specialized developers to focus on core security innovation, solidifying a long-term technology partnership.
