CrawfordTech's Transforms are flexible, fast and accurate print stream conversion products. These affordable enterprise utilities are rapidly implemented to convert existing print streams, delivering superior output fidelity and leading system performance.

For ISO-compliant archiving, all our Transforms are available with PDF/A output, 

Consider upgrading to Transforms Plus, enabling not only conversion, but the indexing and splitting of your print stream in the same pass.

Please read more about how to quickly and easily:

• Convert AFP: AFP to PDF, AFP to PCL, and more

• Convert PDF: PDF to AFP and more

• Convert PostScript: Postscript to AFP, Postcript to PCL, and more
  

• Convert Metacode (LCDS, DJDE): Metacode to PDF, Metacode to AFP, and more
  

• Convert PCL: PCL to AFP, PCL to PDF, and more
  

• Convert Line Data: EBCDIC to ASCII, ASCII to PDF and more

• Convert Image: TIFF to PDF, PNG to PDF and more

The technology behind mission-critical transactional documents has evolved significantly over the past several years. As a result, the growing number formats and complexities can be difficult to manage. The alphabet soup of protocols – AFP, PCL, PDF, PostScript, DJDE, Metacode, HTML and many others – can result in an unyielding production environment that inhibits important efforts to automate, optimize and improve operations.

Since 1995, Crawford Technologies has led the industry in flexible, fast and accurate print stream conversion solutions. Our PRO transform technology is widely recognized for its processing speed, fidelity, single pass processing, platform independence and cost effective implementation. As a result, our customers extend the value of legacy document streams, bring increased flexibility and efficiency to their production operations, and maximize the latest technology developments without the need for document reprogramming or redesign.

How can we help you manage and manipulate your key print streams?

• Migrate legacy applications to a new format without reprogramming
• Increase throughput and flexibility in print production
• Gain freedom of choice in print protocols and formats
• Minimize programming and production support needs for platform conversion
• Optimize print/mail production by splitting, concatenating and sorting print streams in a single pass

CrawfordTech transform solutions allow you to transform and enhance mission-critical transactional documents without the need for reprogramming. We eliminate the constraints of proprietary protocols and formats with a suite of tools to cover every flavor and variation no matter what your environment or infrastructure.

To save additional time and further simplify operations, ask about our Transforms Plus products that include Indexing and Splitting features.

Indexing reduces development costs and supports increased productivity by indexing even the most complex documents by selecting and extracting pertinent data from within a print stream with a powerful new scripting language.

• Data mine documents and print streams for information
• Create highly responsive index files in any common format
• Script if – then – else statements for any particular page
• Apply specific rules and intricate logic routines.

Indexing is a key component in enabling the display of mission-critical customer correspondence online, in creating custom electronic bill presentment systems, or to add TLEs and bookmarks to complex and dynamically assembled documents.

Splitting supports increased productivity by enabling very fast and precise splitting (bursting) of large output files into numerous "subdocument" files.

• Provides greater control over production output by maximizing equipment utilization, segment statements, and report distribution requirements
• Repurpose select production documents for presentment on the Web or for archival storage.
• Divide output files  into customer-specific documents and other precisely defined groupings.
