“The best part is being able to store in the cloud—contracts and HR processes can be easily shared. We extract data from PDFelement and then map it in EdrawMax.”
LDI CEO
LDI Associats S.A. de C.V. (LDI) is a Mexico City–based ICT solutions provider established in 1997. With a team of professionals, the company offers managed IT and print services, cloud and IaaS, SaaS, and virtualization solutions nationwide. In addition to serving its clients, LDI has also become an authorized reseller of Wondershare software in Mexico, helping organizations adopt modern productivity tools such as PDFelement and EdrawMax.
Challenges
Before adopting Wondershare solutions, LDI faced several operational hurdles:
1. High software and training costs
Adobe Acrobat was widely used but came with high costs, while others were either too complex or lacked sufficient functionality—ultimately increasing the overall cost of training and adoption.
2. Disconnected document-to-diagram workflows
Teams needed to extract information from contracts and HR documents and reuse it in diagrams and presentations. The fragmented process reduced efficiency.
3. Time-consuming document review
Management often needed to quickly review long PDF reports for decision-making, but manual reading slowed response time.
Solutions
LDI adopted Wondershare PDFelement and EdrawMax to address these challenges.
PDFelement
● Comprehensive PDF editing, conversion, annotation, and protection features at a lower cost.
● AI summarization allowed executives to extract key insights from lengthy reports in seconds.
● Smooth transition supported by training materials and tutorials.
EdrawMax
● Extensive template and symbol libraries for process flows, organizational charts, BPMN, network topology, and more.
● AI assistant and auto-layout reduced time spent on formatting, accelerating “idea-to-diagram” creation.
● Easy adoption across teams without heavy training.
LDI built a unified workflow combining both solutions:
● Document Intake & Editing – PDFelement: editing, conversion, page organization, and protection.
● Information Extraction – PDFelement: AI summarization and annotations to highlight key insights.
● Knowledge Visualization – EdrawMax: process flows, architecture diagrams, mind maps, and topologies with AI-assisted layouts.
● Unified Output & Distribution – EdrawMax export → PDFelement merge into standardized PDFs for secure sharing and archiving.
Results
The joint adoption of PDFelement and EdrawMax delivered strong results:
● Efficiency Gains – A seamless flow from “read → extract → visualize → publish” enabled faster internal collaboration and external delivery.
● Cost Optimization – Reduced overall investment compared to Acrobat while maintaining core functionality.
● Ease of Use – Lower training burden, enhanced by AI features and prebuilt templates.
● Secure Collaboration – Cloud storage and access controls supported compliance and safe sharing.
● Closed-Loop Productivity – PDF and diagramming tools complemented each other, creating an end-to-end ecosystem for LDI.
Conclusion
With Wondershare PDFelement and EdrawMax, LDI successfully transformed its workflows—turning static documents into actionable insights and clear visualizations. The combination not only improved internal operations but also strengthened LDI’s value proposition to clients.
This journey from power user to authorized distributor reflects how digital tools can deliver both operational efficiency and new business opportunities.
