René Wick
Last position:
Development of an AI-supported system for lead generation
As part of an in-house development project, a pipeline for automated lead generation was created as the second stage of a preceding system for project monitoring. Based on a list of freelance project URLs (freelancermap), qualified lead records are generated, including company, contact person, official and personal email address, and the appropriate form of address (informal/formal). The technologies used were Python (openpyxl, requests) as well as an LLM agent workflow in VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat) with a custom slash command and extensive rule set; search APIs (Serper.dev) are connected for research. My tasks included the full concept and development. The core is a rule set of around 480 lines that guides the LLM agent deterministically through extraction, website and email lookup, duplicate matching (against existing provider lists), and the creation of a structured JSON output. Deterministic steps (Excel matching, web/email search, pattern derivation) were moved into Python helper scripts. Other requirements included validating the results through versioned blind runs against a reference, iterative refinement of the rule set, and a swappable search provider layer for cost and stability reasons.

About the technology
Document work
PDF, short for Portable Document Format, is the standard for files that must look the same on screen and in print. Companies use it for contracts, reports, brochures, manuals, forms, and archived records. Strong specialists know how to keep layout, fonts, links, and accessibility intact.
Common tasks
- Create and refine PDFs from Office files, InDesign, or scanned pages
- Edit text, images, bookmarks, headers, and metadata in Acrobat
- Build fillable forms, signatures, and approval workflows
- Compress, secure, merge, split, and convert files without breaking quality
Tools and formats
Work often centers on Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Pro, and Acrobat Reader, plus Microsoft Office, InDesign, OCR tools, and digital signature services. Good professionals also know PDF/A for long-term archiving, PDF/X for print, and tagged PDFs for accessibility. They understand when to keep a file as PDF and when to export it again.
When to hire
Companies bring in freelance support when documents need a clean finish, but internal teams do not have the time or the right tools. This is common for legal packs, financial reports, product sheets, tender documents, and high-volume form updates. In Munich, this often means working with teams that need German-language documents, local review cycles, and remote turnaround with careful version control.
What good specialists do
Strong PDF professionals check structure, print readiness, and file size, not only the visible page. They catch broken links, missing fonts, bad scans, weak OCR, and accessibility gaps before delivery. They also keep source files organized so the same document can be updated again without starting from scratch.
Projects and quality
A good PDF project is clear about source material, output format, and final use. The best specialists ask how the file will be shared, printed, signed, or archived, then choose the right settings for each step. That is especially important when the document must be reliable across Acrobat, browsers, and mobile viewers.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about PDF, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A strong PDF specialist helps with creation, editing, conversion, and final delivery of documents that must keep their layout intact. Typical work includes forms, brochures, reports, contracts, manuals, and archive-ready files. They also handle OCR, bookmarks, security settings, and accessibility fixes when needed.
No. PDF is a file format, not just a viewer, and Adobe Acrobat is only one part of the ecosystem. Companies often need help with Acrobat Pro, OCR, digital signatures, PDF/A, and print-ready exports from Office or InDesign.
Hire PDF expertise when the team has many files to clean up, a strict deadline, or a document that must be exact for print, signing, or archiving. Freelancers are also useful when internal staff can create the file but not prepare it properly for accessibility or secure sharing. This is common for legal, finance, marketing, and operations work.
A solid PDF professional often brings skills in Adobe Acrobat, OCR, accessibility, and document automation. Depending on the project, knowledge of InDesign, Microsoft Office, image handling, and digital signature tools can matter just as much. For print jobs, understanding color handling and prepress is helpful too.
PDF is best when the final layout must stay fixed across devices and viewers. Word is better for drafting, InDesign is better for advanced page design, and HTML is better for web content that changes often. A good specialist knows when to convert into PDF and when to keep the source format.
Simple conversion work may need only basic PDF skills, but production work needs much more. If the file must be accessible, signed, archived, or print-ready, you want someone who understands structure, metadata, and validation. The more public or regulated the document, the more careful the specialist should be.
Yes, most PDF work can be done remotely because the files and review steps are digital. For Munich-based teams, remote collaboration is common, but on-site work can help when there are many stakeholders, sensitive documents, or fast feedback cycles. Clear version control matters more than location.
Look for clean sample files, not just general claims. A good PDF specialist produces files that open correctly, stay stable in Acrobat and browsers, meet the required print or archive standard, and contain working links, tags, and form fields when needed. They should also explain the choices they made, not hide them.
