A guy I used to work with has taken a job as a financial VP of a
commercial real estate management company. They have a paperwork
nightmare that he's trying to clean up. Here's how he describes the
problem:
"800 to 1,000 vendor invoices come in each month and need to be scanned
and sent out for approval to the various property managers. I want to do
that with pdfs but don’t quite know how to allow the property managers
to put their electronic stamp on the pdf docs. Do you know:
"1. Is there an easy way to do this with Acrobat without requiring the
full [professional] product loaded on each person’s machine?
"2. Would we be better off with some kind of doc mgt system with
workflow and authorizations? Can you recommend a reasonably priced doc
mgt solution?"
I told him I'd post this for him and get back to him with any suggestions.
Thanks,
Dick
