Using Muhimbi for several projects. From the tools our team evaluated, Muhimbi provides the most accurate rendering and flexible attachment processing.
Great support to resolve our problem watermarking documents in Power Automate. Solved the issue and gave valuable insights into best practices.
We've used Muhimbi for 8 years in tandem with Nintex Workflow. The technical support is top notch, quick to respond and eager to assist.
As a new user I ran into a technical issue. Yash assisted via chat and screen share to solve it in 2 minutes. It was a user error.
Complex scenario to connect 2 K2 servers to 1 SharePoint instance. Support was very responsive over several deeply technical sessions.
A fantastic product. Watermarking approved documents, merging documents, archiving as pdf/a. Premium support instantly from their helpdesk.
We are really happy to recommend Muhimbi as it reduced development time, and costs to convert email into PDF directly from Microsoft Flow.
Yash was very helpful in the whole process from proof of concept to production. Available and willing to work with my team!!!!
The call back is quick, and the service is efficient. I felt confident. Thank you!
Had no experience, but a sales engineer listened to our requirements and provided a working solution. Implementation was extraordinarily easy!
Problem solved in 18 minutes. Yash was very helpful with both support and explaining pricing.
Excellent product, excellent support with a really quick resolution!

Keep Your Documents and Data Secure in SharePoint
Muhimbi’s PDF Editor uses client-side technology to process documents in SharePoint.
