pdfaPilot CLI
pdfaPilot CLI brings automated PDF/A conversion and validation to the command line, so you can script robust, searchable archiving into any workflow or system.

The software is theirs. The workflow is yours.
pdfaPilot CLI is a component. The value comes from the pipeline around it and the rules it runs. We build that with you and connect it to your systems. That is the part we do.
- Builds and maintains pdfaPilot
- Sets the PDF/A conversion and validation technology
- Owns the product roadmap

- Advises on the right fit for your workflow
- Sets it up and connects it to your systems
- Handles licensing, SMA and renewals
- Supports it after go-live
Script PDF/A into any workflow
Three things pdfaPilot CLI is built for.
Command-line control
Call conversion and validation from scripts and schedulers, with the full pdfaPilot engine behind it.
Convert and validate
Turn documents into PDF/A and check compliance, repeatably, as part of a larger process.
Fits any system
Drop it into Enfocus Switch, a custom pipeline or an existing automation, on any supported platform.
We start from your jobs, not from the software
Analyze
We map how your work flows today and find where the time goes.
Consult
We size the pdfaPilot CLI setup you need, and tell you where it is not the right tool.
Implement
We install it, connect it to your systems, and document it so your team can own it.
Support
We stay after go-live: support, SMA renewals, and the next step worth automating.

Built for integration
pdfaPilot CLI shares its engine with the Desktop, Server and SDK editions and runs on major platforms, so it slots into Enfocus Switch or your own automation without changing the rules.
- Command-line integration
- Enfocus Switch and custom pipelines
- Shared engine with the pdfaPilot range
- Cross-platform
Licenses and maintenance
- A license sized to the volume and modules you need
- Every new license comes with an annual software maintenance agreement (SMA)
- We handle renewals, upgrades and license moves
- Setup and integration are quoted separately
