How Lumin saves hours of PDF admin at MoMA

From travel information and agendas to contracts and contact lists, important information at The Museum of Modern Art often arrives locked inside PDFs.

The task might be simple but getting the information out wasn’t.

Copying, pasting and reformatting information by hand could turn a straightforward job into hours of admin. Signing a document could mean finding a printer or even heading to a local print shop.

Lumin offered a simpler way to get it done.

Turning hours of PDF admin into a few clicks

Today, Lumin helps turn those everyday PDF tasks into a much simpler digital workflow; from pulling information out of PDFs and rearranging documents to filling out contracts and signing digitally.

During particularly heavy PDF weeks, that can save three to five hours.

In one recent example, a MoMA employee needed to extract around 50 contacts from a multi-page PDF. What could have become hours of manual work became a much faster task with Lumin.

Keeping PDFs inside your workflow

One of the biggest wins is Lumin’s Google Workspace integration.

“The biggest one is just not having to go outside of my Google Workspace. It plugs in very easily.”

Instead of switching between tools, Lumin makes PDFs part of the workflow already in place. Travel information can be pulled apart and reorganised and contracts can be completed digitally which means that documents can keep moving without disrupting the day.

PDFs shouldn’t become a project

Lumin has become a go-to for everyday PDF tasks because it’s intuitive enough to pick up without a complicated learning curve.

After years of using it for everyday PDF tasks, one MoMA employee summed up the experience in a few words:

“You guys are kind of like the Canva of PDFs.”

And their recommendation? “You should use it. I really honestly couldn’t think of any alternative to even discuss.”

Less PDF admin and more time for the work that matters.
