A Hidden Feature of IRIS Document Management Software

By Adam Walters | 10/02/2024 | 2 min read

If you’ve driven the same beat-up old car for years, you’re happy when it starts and drives. It’s a good day when the radio or AC works, and an amazing day when both work. When you finally save up and buy a new car, it can feel overwhelming to find out all of the bells and whistles that are included in your new car like power windows, heated seats, rearview cameras, and parking assistance. Those built-in features can go forgotten, and it’s not until years later that you finally start fiddling around with buttons and remember you have a sunroof.

Just like you need a reminder that your new car has heated and cooling seats, IRIS’s document management software (DMS) does more than just store and organize your files. Of course, it meets the basic needs and services of a DMS, but there are powerful tools that are built in and ready to use that are often overlooked or under-utilized because you forget about them or don’t even know they were there to start off with.

One of the largest overlooked features of IRIS DMS is our built-in pdf editor.

IRIS’s Built-In PDF Editor

It’s a common assumption that the only way you can modify or edit a PDF is if you pay for an expensive monthly software license with Adobe, but with IRIS DMS you automatically have access to a powerful professional PDF editor.

A license for Adobe Acrobat Pro costs around $20 per person per month ($240 annually). Because licenses can’t be shared, even a small practice can easily spend $1,000 annually on a PDF editor, and as your firm continues to grow the cost for licenses grows with it.

IRIS provides it to you for free as a built-in tool of IRIS DMS. Along with viewing and editing the PDF we’ve included additional tools including:

Markup and annotation tools
Calculate tape that can be pasted to the document
Thumbnail, bookmark, and comment panes
Drag and drop reorganization tools
Digital signature stamp

Together, this allows you to open, view, edit, and manage PDF documents through one solution rather than having to jump and transfer files between windows and tabs. We provide you with the tools and resources you need to streamline your processes.
