pdfDocs Desktop 3.1 delivers SharePoint integration

September 3, 2009:DocsCorp has enhanced workflow and increased interoperability with SharePoint and the Microsoft Office suite in version 3.1 of its flagship PDF content management and workflow solution, pdfDocs Desktop.

There are new project management and publishing features in Version 3.1 as well as dual integration into Microsoft SharePoint and a document management system, redaction codes, PDF metadata cleansing and PDF/A capability.

David Woolstencroft, DocsCorp President Sales, Marketing and Strategy- said "The 3.1 release has been a 9-month development project, involving a cast of thousands. Our development team has worked with IT and document management specialists around the world to develop a solution that enhances and streamlines workflow to deliver increased efficiency and productivity when working with documents."

"The pdfDocs Desktop 3.1 release delivers substantial benefits to document professionals in terms of flexibility, workplace efficiency as well as new integration into Microsoft SharePoint," he said.

pdfDocs Desktop 3.1 is built on the latest Microsoft .Net 3.5 framework to make it easier to create, distribute and archive PDF documents from within Office 2007 and other Microsoft platforms.

pdfDocs Desktop lets users assemble and collate documents from different applications and systems into a single secure PDF document. It offers the ability to edit, redact, annotate and secure content as well as apply stationery, watermarks or headers and footers across a collection of documents. The final document can be saved directly into Microsoft SharePoint as pdfDocs Desktop remembers the last Microsoft SharePoint "save into" location.

A document that relates to a specific Microsoft SharePoint project can be exported into its own Project folder in pdfDocs Desktop. Project folders can be configured to have their own unique output settings, such as security, watermarks, headers and footers and PDF metadata removal. The Project folder can be output as a single PDF or PDF/A document and multiple Project folders can be setup within pdfDocs Desktop.

From pdfDocs Desktop it is possible to add an entire Microsoft SharePoint project, while maintaining folder and subfolder structure, into a pdfDocs Project workspace. Convert the Project documents to a single or multi-PDF document, complete with a table of contents, cross-document bookmarks and links.

SharePoint users can insert cover pages and apply headers and footers across the document(s), as well as create templates and cover pages to minimise workload. The final document can be emailed or saved back into Microsoft SharePoint directly from pdfDocs Desktop.

pdfDocs Desktop 3.1 provides dual integration into Microsoft SharePoint and a document management system. For example, it is possible to convert documents from a document management system to PDF and then publish to SharePoint entirely through pdfDocs Desktop.
