Goals

Challenges

The LEAPP development team tried to develop the PDF workflows in-house but soon realized this may take a long time. They needed a proven technology that already specializes in specific aspects of PDF generation, with fast and efficient code. Main selection criteria for the PDF library included:

  • easy to understand software development kit (SDK).

  • ability to implement as per use flow.

  • allows digital signing.

  • allows formatting forms.

  • ease of licensing.

PDF signing workflows: PDF allows setting permissions, signature sequence and co-signing around the order and delivery processes.

Signature capturing and storing it on the server: Allows for mobile access online and offline.

PDF forms: Mobile forms look like the manual forms, allowing easy learning for staff and drivers.
