True Rendition Eases Burdens
Pharmaceutical companies of all sizes are under siege with the onerous amount of documentation that is required in submission publishing. One of the major pain points for companies is the rendition of documents into standard formats, but managing the process well is a key element in submitting a regulatory application on time and according to compliance guidances. Companies are increasingly recognizing the need to master document rendition.

ISIRender is a server-based solution that meets the challenge of rendering documents into standard formats by converting documents to PDF files in an unattended fashion, thereby automating and standardizing document processes. The highest-performing rendition tool on the market today, ISIRender helps reduce the time spent on the troubleshooting of document issues during the electronic submission publishing process.

A flexible and scalable configuration, ISIRender can be deployed as a stand-alone application, or multiple rendition servers can be configured to enhance performance. Jobs can be routed to a particular server based on any property, such as file size, type, or owner. Since ISIRender is fully integrated with ISIPublisher, the submission publishing process can be further streamlined, thereby both accelerating and simplifying the tasks involved in creating professional documents.

Among its many benefits, ISIRender lets users:

• Render to PDF the most-common file formats, including Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007.
• Create bookmarks based on Microsoft Word styles or caption fields, Microsoft Excel worksheets, and Microsoft PowerPoint slide titles.
• Construct multiple trees of bookmarks to support lists of tables and lists of figures.
• Set the resolution, page size, and magnification of the most-common graphics files.
• Load balance based on document properties.
• Stipulate job processing parameters based on document properties, including pattern matching on file name, file size, and extension.
• Generate default job tickets for various file types and property combinations saved to a database.
• Process jobs sent via Web service or via ActiveX/.NET control.

Compliance Ensured
One of the difficulties every company can and does face is failure to conform to requirements and protocols throughout the enterprise. Common scenarios include regulatory affairs’ receiving either, say, a document that is not in PDF as required by the regulatory agency, a document that is not in a compliant format, or a document that does not contain bookmarks and hyperlinks even though the Word file did.

With ISI’s best-of-breed rendering tool ISIRender, those all-too-frequent mishaps can be remedied quickly and easily. ISIRender can create submission-ready documents that are fully automated and integrated into a company’s document management system or file share solution.

ISIRender takes the hard work away from companies, allowing them to work smarter and, most critically, cut submission time.
