Introducing Gloss
Seamless annotation, navigation, and search functionality for your organization’s most critical PDFs
PDFs + FileMaker: A Seamless, Integrated Solution
Gloss is a cost-effective, custom solution for searching and enhancing the utility of PDFs stored within an existing FileMaker database. With our lightweight, easy-to-integrate service, clients are able to view, search and annotate PDFs directly within their existing solution, without the need for external tools or fragile export and import routines.
Gloss also can access the text layer of the PDFs in your solution to make them easily searchable, saving you time and reducing costly errors or missed information.
What Can Gloss Do?
- Simplify workflows with a custom solution that integrates directly with any FileMaker application (Windows/macOS)
- Provide users with a better, faster user experience for viewing and scrolling through PDFs
- Annotate PDFs directly within FileMaker
- Establish and maintain consistency in how users interact with PDFs across all FileMaker versions and clients (FileMaker Go, Pro, WebDirect)
- Leverage server-side rendering and display of PDFs as HTML5 for better efficiency and speed
- Enable fast and easy PDF content search capabilities: let your team find what they need, exactly when they need it
- Free users from extensive downloads and uploads with a Cloud-based solution

- Custom UI to create your unique set of annotation tools and permissions for each group of users or workflow scenario
- Bookmarking and linking functionality across records within your existing FileMaker solution
