TU Wien powers enterprise-grade, accessible PDFs with PDFreactor

Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien), Austria’s leading technical university, has modernized its document generation with RealObjects PDFreactor – setting a new benchmark for high-volume, customer-facing and legally relevant PDFs.

Faced with growing document volumes and strict accessibility and compliance requirements, TU Wien’s Campus IT department replaced a fragmented set of PDF tools with a single, scalable platform. The goal: pixel-perfect layouts, guaranteed PDF/UA compliance, and enterprise reliability for documents that matter – such as official certificates, transcripts, and administrative records.

After evaluating multiple commercial and open-source solutions, PDFreactor stood out for its API-first architecture, best-in-class HTML/CSS rendering, and proven support for accessibility (PDF/UA) and long-term archiving (PDF/A). Deployed in containers and integrated via REST, PDFreactor fits seamlessly into modern Java and Ruby environments.

Today, TU Wien generates hundreds of thousands of mission-critical PDFs every year – fully accessible, legally compliant, and consistently branded. For organizations producing customer-facing or compliance-critical PDFs, this is exactly the kind of enterprise-ready solution that delivers confidence at scale.
