PDFTron purchases document automation provider Windward Studios
PDFTron Systems, a provider of document technology solutions for software developers, has acquired Windward Studios, a Colorado-based leader in document automation and generation technology. According to PDFTron, with this addition, its platform is the world's only source of both client-side document generation and no-code document automation capabilities. It also marks the fifth acquisition as part of PDFTron's roadmap acceleration strategy since a $71-million growth investment by Silversmith Capital Partners in May 2019.

"Together, we now provide a single, definitive platform for adding comprehensive document automation, generation, and collaboration capabilities to any software. That includes features to view, annotate, edit, and sign documents generated dynamically from over 100 data sources, and a full spectrum of high-, low- and no-code developer options.

App developers, integrators and admins, as well as enterprise users and consumers, can now seamlessly deploy digital content capabilities and harness the performance and security of PDFTron's powerful client-side processing."
