Who Are We?

Solid Documents was founded in 2001 to lead in the document productivity software category.

As one of the first providers, Solid Documents has over a decade of success in delivering best-in-class document reconstruction and archiving software. Its founder, Michael Cartwright, has extensive software development, management and document management experience. He recognized that PDF is the de facto document collaborative environment of the future that will enable a Universal Format for Document interchange.

The company’s mission is to enable this vision by innovating the industry with its award-winning software, software development kit (SDK) and customer service.

Why Solid Documents?

Electronic documents have replaced standard pen and paper.

A myriad of document types now exist – from standard paper, to scans, e-mails, electronic documents, Google Docs, billing forms, etc. While document type may run the gamut — from legacy applications to e-documents — not everybody can read, share or save these documents. People work in different environments, on different platforms, and have different versions of applications. And, the mature worldwide standard to share all these documents —regardless of language or platform — is PDF.

Document integrity is critical to the success of document reconstruction and archiving. It is something that helps all users, whether business or consumer — increase productivity, efficiency and realize the true value of their time.

That’s where Solid Documents comes in. Solid Documents has developed one of the most technologically sound and innovative document reconstruction and archiving software solutions in the industry. Through its offerings of enterprise-class SDK and consumer solutions, Solid Documents is increasing the usability of documents with its solutions, enabling time savings and efficiency.

Translators are often asked to translate PDF documents, but previously there was no easy answer. Now, the integration of Solid Documents into SDL Trados 2009 provides the perfect solution for them. We found Solid Documents an easy company to work with and we were able to quickly integrate its technology with ours. The API is easy to use, the software is robust and reliable and the quality of the output is very good. We have had excellent feedback from our customers and we anticipate a long and successful partnership with Solid Documents.
