Crawford Technologies Speaking at International PDF/A Conference


TORONTO, Ontario, January 8, 2007. Crawford Technologies Inc., the leading provider of transforms, transaction archive solutions, and transactional document re-engineering solutions, announced today it has been chosen to speak at the First International PDF/A Conference in Amsterdam 10-11 April 2008.

Stephen D. Poe, EDP, VP of Product Management will present "PDF/A 101: An Introduction".

"PDF/A is better known and more widely implemented in Europe than in North America so it is fitting the first conference should be in Amsterdam," said Stephen Poe, adding "We welcome the opportunity to educate attendees on the value PDF/A can bring their organizations."

CrawfordTech offers a family of products to assist companies in migrating their current high volume transpromo, statement and other documents into PDF/A. CrawfordTech was the first North American company to join the PDF/A Competence Center.

"We view our participation in the PDF/A Conference as vital to help educate corporations in when PDF/A is appropriate and how they can easily implement PDF/A archives inhouse," said Ernie Crawford, President, CrawfordTech adding "We view the European market as a growing opportunity for CrawfordTech to expand into. Our presence at this conference emphasizes our commitment to the EU marketplace."
