JetTrac Modules

JetTrac Swiss Army Knife Analogy of Modules

The modular approach to building a set of tasks and processes is one of the key benefits in using JetTrac Connect with over 60 standard modules that perform specific automated tasks and functions. 
The combination of these modules can create very flexible and powerful solutions for document and data processing with unparalleled levels of flexibility to adapt to various production environments and requirements. These modules can be viewed as building blocks that can be plugged together in any combination to create the desired result.
The JetTrac modules concept can be viewed as a no-code back-end application development environment - no software coding is required to build an integral production workflow.

JetTrac Swiss Army Knife Analogy of Modules

The modular approach to building a set of tasks and processes is one of the key benefits in using JetTrac. Currently the list of modules available is 54 and it continues to grow as new business requirements define new types of automation and integration with mobile and cloud services.

We've compiled a list of common user case scenarios or FAQ's and how JetTrac modules can accommodate them. Click on the Category below to see the list of scenarios, then click again to see details about the module and how it runs the automation.

PDF → Annotations | Bookmarks | XML Data | Highlight | Image Merge | Batch Merge | Combine | Delete | Extract | Print | Trim | XFA


I want to be able to get all the sticky note annotations from a PDF form that multiple people are commenting on as part of a business process
JetTrac AnnotationExtract

Any annotations made in a PDF form can be extracted to a data file containing the date, time, user and annotation text. This file can then be used to update a database, merge the data into another form, use the annotation data as part of logic in a workflow process. This could be a key part of a PDF form Review and Approval process.
