PDF FLY is used by a wide variety of professionals to transform graphics, forms and charts into their documentation, publishing and data management systems. In addition, corporate developers use FLY Batch Production Licenses as part of their automated server-based processes and Web-based enterprise applications. Software Application Developers use the FLY SDK to add import/export formats to their standalone applications.

Engineers - PDF FLY is popular with engineers in AEC and Manufacturing because of its breakthrough ability to extract CAD geometry from PDF files and its benefits to the documentation workflow. It's used to move graphical output from technical applications into Microsoft Word reports, PowerPoint presentations and FrameMaker documents. It's also used to generate scalable and fully editable vector graphics for the web and content management systems in CGM (SGML standard) or SVG (XML standard). Source applications range from CAD applications and EDA systems to custom applications, plotting packages and more.

Scientists - Whether you're an electrical engineering professor at a university, a geologist at a government agency or a chemist in a pharmaceutical lab, chances are you are working with specialized applications on your technical computing desktop. PDF FLY gives you the tools you need to exchange, publish and even re-work the output from these applications.

Technical Writers - Technical writers receive graphics from their engineering departments, create them in packages like Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Visio and Macromedia Freehand, or have them stored in databases and legacy systems like Interleaf. In most cases, Adobe FrameMaker is the target publishing system. PDF FLY is used to bring vector graphics into manuals as scalable and editable FrameMaker illustrations that will render in vector quality on any screen or printer and make documents smaller and easier to handle. More and more, they also convert their graphics to CGM and SVG for the Web versions of their manuals.

Other Business Professionals - People across industries and business functions use PDF FLY for everything ranging from forms and database reports to marketing material and business diagrams. It's used to publish print ads to the web, transform multi-page documents to single-page graphics, extract images from documents, substitute fonts in PostScript files, extract text from PDF reports and more.
