Convert old bitmap scans to PDF
Legacy industrial systems, old scanners, and 1990s-era document archives produce BMP files that modern workflows can't handle. Converting the BMP archive to PDF unlocks compatibility with every DMS, search index, and viewer — while shrinking file sizes by up to 90%. The BMP to PDF API processes legacy bitmap archives in bulk.

Why BMP archives need modernization
Modern DMS systems reject BMP
SharePoint, Laserfiche, and virtually all DMS platforms don't support BMP as a primary document format. PDF is the universal standard.
BMP is storage-intensive
Uncompressed BMP files are massive. A 500-page industrial scan archive in BMP can be 2+ GB — the same archive as PDF is under 200 MB.
No searchability
BMP is a pure image format. Converting to PDF enables text layer addition via OCR, making decades of records instantly searchable.
