As a pre-employment screening company, our clients need to know exactly what state/county jurisdictions our background check reports include. We integrate with our providers via web services and then aggregate this information into a source list. In the past, a customer service person would maintain a PDF document of these sources. As more and more county and state governments put their record repositories online, maintaining this PDF document became a chore for our operations department. We had considered other solutions to this problem including using PDF print drivers, post-script drivers or generating a printable html document but these options all had their shortcomings. Our solution had to be efficient, fast and reliable while leaving the smallest footprint possible. We didn’t want to have to create files first and then print them; we wanted to build the PDF document “on the fly”.

We selected Syncfusion’s Essential PDF.Web library to provide our solution. Having worked with Syncfusion for the past 3 years, we evaluated their PDF library and determined this was the best fit for the project. Although there were other vendors out there offering similar components we chose Syncfusion for the following reasons:

• The Direct-Trac support is the best in the industry. Whenever we’ve had a question, Syncfusion support has always performed exemplary and expeditiously. You can count on your questions being answered correctly.

• As an industry leader in the presentation layer market, Syncfusion has always delivered cost-efficient, high performance solutions to Selection.com that distinguishes our software from the competition.

• Syncfusion’s Web.PDF control offered everything we needed to accomplish our project goals.

• Documentation that is included with the product comes with sample projects, a searchable index and answers to the most common questions developers will likely face when using Syncfusion libraries.

• Standardization under a single vendor reduces cost and saves our developers time by not having to track down multiple assemblies when new versions are released. This increases efficiency by not having different deployment scenarios when things change.
