As a result, shar<strong>in</strong>g <strong>PDF</strong> documents can create barriers to productivity, especially if the user needs to<br />

edit or modify the <strong>in</strong>formation frozen <strong>in</strong> a <strong>PDF</strong> document. The process of manually reproduc<strong>in</strong>g <strong>PDF</strong><br />

documents with<strong>in</strong> Microsoft Word is costly. A study by Coopers & Lybrand found that the cost to<br />

reproduce a s<strong>in</strong>gle document averaged $250. The IDC study “The High Cost of Not F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Information,” found that the cost of re-creat<strong>in</strong>g documents represents $5,000 per employee, per<br />

year to a typical bus<strong>in</strong>ess organization (labor costs will rise <strong>in</strong> proportion to the size of the document<br />

and the complexity its layout).<br />

Consider the follow<strong>in</strong>g analysis:<br />

• Average Knowledge worker salary = $80,000<br />

• 1/3 of productive time is spent re-creat<strong>in</strong>g documents and <strong>in</strong>formation (Coopers & Lybrand)<br />

5% of that time is tied to <strong>PDF</strong> productivity issues (Nuance estimate)<br />

• Yields a <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>in</strong>efficiency of approximately $1,300 per year, per employee<br />

• If <strong>PDF</strong> could be automatically converted <strong>in</strong>to Microsoft Word – complete with text, columns,<br />

tables and graphics – a 500 person organization could recover as much as $650K annually <strong>in</strong><br />

labor time<br />
