To verify a claim document vs hours of manual adjuster review
One altered estimate can turn a small claim into a large loss
Modern claim fraud is invisible to the human eye. Fraudsters use Adobe Acrobat Pro and online PDF editors to change repair estimates, medical invoices and police reports that look identical to genuine documents. The letterhead is real, the fonts are correct and only a figure inside a text field has moved.
Inflated repair estimates
A legitimate contractor issues a real estimate, then the claimant revises the amount upward by 40% before submitting it. The branding, license number and layout are all genuine. The only change lives in the PDF content layer, where no adjuster will ever look.
Altered medical invoices
A physiotherapy session gets upcoded to a more expensive procedure, a single hospital visit becomes three or the date range is stretched by a few days. The invoice carries every correct field, so it sails through a busy adjuster who reviews dozens a day.
Forged police reports and supporting chains
Fraudsters rarely rely on one fake document. They build a chain: a police report, proof of ownership and a timeline that corroborate each other. A changed incident type or an added line item turns a fender-bender into a total loss, and the report is almost never verified with the issuing authority.
Real cases, real consequences
NOS investigation into fake insurance claims
Dutch broadcaster NOS reported a surge in fraudulent claims built on forged medical certificates, fake vacation invoices and fabricated receipts for items worth thousands of euros. The Dutch Association of Insurers confirmed the threat is growing across travel, home and liability lines, while insurers admit they lack the data to size the full scope.

The most damaging insurance fraud is not the padded restaurant receipt. It is the €18,000 repair estimate quietly revised upward, the medical invoice with one procedure code changed and the police report with an altered incident type. These edits live in the PDF structure, not on the surface, and a visual review will always miss them.

Add a document forensics layer before human review. Every PDF is analyzed in under 5 seconds, with detailed forensic evidence when a claim document has been tampered with.
Metadata analysis
Detect traces of PDF editors, creation timestamps that do not match the stated issuer and software signatures that reveal manipulation, so a repair estimate edited three weeks after its claimed date is flagged before you authorize the payout.
Content layer forensics
Identify direct text modifications, font inconsistencies and layered edits, catching the inflated figure or upcoded procedure a manual review will always miss.
Issuer and format verification
Match documents against known issuer and template formats to confirm an invoice or report came from its claimed source, so a convincing forgery cannot pass as a genuine hospital bill or police report.
