About this course

Over the years, the complexity, amount and type of information encapsulated in PDF files has expanded and evolved rapidly. Along with the increase of the e-documents, the need to check the authenticity increased as well.

This course objective is to examine and investigate e-documents and how to interpret the outcomes.

After completion of this 3-day training, one will be able to set up a matrix for predictably searching a PDF document and interpreting the results obtained. A lot of practical assignments are used during the training. Candidates can provide (released) examples from their practical environment which can be analysed during the lessons.
