The Challenge: Standardizing fragmented PDF software

After discovering 27 different PDF products and versions across its organization, Howden decided to standardize its PDF software. This fragmented software environment created compatibility challenges and made PDF management more difficult for IT.

Prior to adopting Nitro PDF, one-third of Howden’s installed PDF software was not the latest version, had outdated security patches, and in many cases lacked product support or training resources.

Because Howden employees needed a variety of PDF capabilities, including editing and printing, Howden's IT team needed a reliable document productivity partner that could provide a scalable solution for its growing global workforce.
