Prenly is growing with support from Webarch – from PDF to article view in record time.Prenly is a Nordic e-paper platform used by over 1,000 newspaper brands to distribute digital editions of daily newspapers, magazines, and supplements. The platform is particularly strong in the daily newspaper segment — holding a 100% market share in Sweden — and is expanding rapidly across the Nordics.
One of Prenly’s key competitive advantages lies in how Webarch is used to automatically generate article views and audio directly from print-ready PDFs — without the need for complex editorial system integrations.

### **Challenge: Delivering article view — without changing editorial workflows**

For many newspapers, article view is essential for readability, especially on mobile and tablet. But extracting articles from laid-out pages often requires:

- Manual exports from editorial systems
- Custom integrations for each title
- Risk of errors and delays due to late content changes

Timing is also crucial — daily newspapers often want to release their digital edition the evening before distribution, creating a very tight window between “final page sent to print” and “digital publication.”

### Solution: Webarch + Prenly = Automated article generation from PDF

With Webarch as an integrated engine in Prenly’s production flow, newspapers can:

- Generate article views directly from PDF — without extra work from the editorial team
- Automatically produce audio versions using AI-based text-to-speech
- Publish digital editions the same evening as print — thanks to Webarch’s smart page monitoring

**Here’s how it works in practice:**

- Throughout the day, Webarch captures pages sent to print, title by title
- When new or updated pages arrive, article generation runs automatically in the background
- Before publishing, only the most recently updated pages are processed — saving time and resources
- The result appears directly in Prenly — as article view, PDF viewer, and/or audio, depending on the reader’s choice

### **Result: A flexible platform for publishers and readers alike**

Thanks to Webarch, Prenly has been able to:

- Offer article view to all its clients — without technical barriers
- Publish digital editions on time, even with tight deadlines
- Become Sweden’s leading e-paper platform for daily newspapers — with 100% coverage
- Scale up to over 1,000 publishing brands — without production bottlenecks

Prenly shows how user-friendly reading, accessibility, and smart automation can be combined in a solution that works for both small editorial teams and large publishers — all without changing how newspapers are already produced.
