Falcon Publisher

Seamless, On-Demand PDF Publishing for Enterprise Content

Falcon Publisher is a powerful extension to the Falcon Web platform, purpose-built to dynamically convert virtually any file type into Adobe PDF format. With Publisher, users across SVP and Enterprise environments can instantly view documents on demand using the free and widely adopted Adobe Acrobat Reader, without the need for native applications.

But Falcon Publisher goes far beyond basic conversion. When deployed as a Web extension, it intelligently merges multi-format documents into a single, unified PDF file, perfect for streamlined access, distribution, and compliance.

More Than Just Web-Based

Integrated Flexibility Across Platforms:

  • Paired with Falcon Deliver: Publisher seamlessly converts all document types in a Deliver package into PDF, enabling recipients to access every file using a single, standardized application — Acrobat Reader.
  • Integrated with Falcon DMS: When implemented within the Falcon Document Management System, Publisher powers the View function, allowing users to open and review documents in PDF format, no native software required. This is ideal for environments with dedicated viewing terminals or limited desktop installations.
Why Choose Falcon Publisher?

Traditional browser plug-ins often fall short, especially when a specific format plug-in isn’t available. In those cases, users are forced to download files instead of viewing them directly, creating friction and breaking workflow continuity.

Falcon Publisher solves this.

By converting documents to PDF on the fly, it guarantees a seamless, in-browser viewing experience—just as users expect.

Why Adobe PDF?

PDF is the gold standard for enterprise document portability and consistency.

  • Universal accessibility: Viewable across all devices and platforms.
  • Snapshot accuracy: Each PDF reflects the most current version of the source document at the time
  • Secure and reliable: Ideal for audits, compliance, and sharing across departments or with external stakeholders.
