Actino Software GmbH
Actino Software helps businesses, public-sector organizations and institutions implement PDF standards and automate document processes. With more than 30 years of experience in PDF technology, Actino combines deep technical expertise with proven software solutions for accessibility, archiving, publishing and document security.
As a distributor, integration partner and solution provider, Actino works with leading PDF technology vendors and supports customers from initial consulting and product selection through to implementation and automated production workflows. A particular focus is on PDF accessibility and automation. Actino helps organizations create, remediate and validate accessible PDF/UA documents – from individual documents to large-scale server-based processing. AI, intelligent templates and established PDF technologies are combined to automate repetitive tasks while maintaining reliable quality and standards compliance.
Actino also provides solutions for archiving, print production, document security and dynamic PDF processing. The goal is always the same: to make complex PDF requirements easier to implement, automate and integrate into existing processes.
PDF/A and PDF/UA
PDF/A and PDF/UA are key standards for reliable and sustainable document workflows. Actino supports organizations in selecting and implementing the right technologies for standards-compliant PDF creation, conversion and validation. Working with specialized technology partners including callas software, PDFix, Adobe, axes4 and others, Actino can provide solutions ranging from desktop applications to SDKs, APIs, server applications and fully automated workflows. As Michael Karbe, CEO of Actino Software, puts it: “Our goal is not simply to make PDFs compliant. We want to automate compliance and integrate it into the document process wherever possible.”
