We have a cloud based software that assists our clients in developing competencies and standards. But, our PDF output is not formatted and looks really unprofessional. Can someone point me in the right direction to get help with outputting a clean looking document?

You could try posting a Job on Adobe Talent (https://www.behance.net/adobetalent) or try locating a Adobe partner https://www.adobe.com/partners/partnerfinders.html

 

Depending on how/where you maintain and author your source content, you have several solutions that you can possibly employ. Also factor in the skills you already have on your team.

- Within Creative Cloud, you can use InDesign to design and create PDF documents.

- If long-form PDF is something you require quite a lot, it may make sense to evaluate products such as FrameMaker or Robohelp

- Or you can use Document Cloud's Convert to PDF service to convert a host of source files (such as Word, PPT) to PDF.

- Or like suggested above, for a bespoke solution, you'll need to contact a developer who can help you create this custom workflow.

This doesn't look like a cloud based PDF app. I'm sure it isn't in fact. It's a cloud-based generator of web pages. Web pages don't make neat formatted results. You'd want a server based PDF generator. This in turn would need someone to develop a layout engine for your content. You probably need a specialist developer.

Thank you so much. What I am looking for a recommendation of someone in the SF Bay Area who can help us solve this problem.
