The ability to create PDF/A documents for archiving from within SharePoint and other document management systems has been added to DocsCorp’s latest release of its PDF management application, pdfDocs 3.3.

The pdfDocs 3.3 release builds on existing capabilities to extend workflow solutions to PDF/A creation, emailing, OCR'ing, document bundling and displaying pagination information when working with business-critical documents both inside and outside the DMS environment.

Dean Sappey, DocsCorp President and co-Founder, said “pdfDocs celebrates its 10th year and during this time it has seen many enhancements, improvements and integrations. The number of users that rely on it to manage their business-critical documents has grown to more than 300,000 in 32 different countries. I am particularly excited about the 3.3 release as it delivers significant benefits to these users in terms of useability and even more efficient document management workflows.”

“Our goal as a company is to extend document processing, manipulation and publishing workflows inside and outside the DMS environment to drive business efficiency, and on this score the 3.3 release delivers. We look forward to working with our clients around the world to drive innovation and develop software that increases the value of their investment in document management technology.”

The pdfDocs 3.3 release provides users with the following capabilities:

Email attachment conversion - In addition to Office documents, pdfDocs detects and prompts users to convert MSG and RTF attachment files to PDF before emailing.

Displaying PDF pagination - Users can select to output documents with the pdfDocs default pagination conventions, or the pagination information derived from the source document in the PDF, or create a new pagination numbering set.

Email from DMS - Users will be able to right-click on multiple documents within the DMS, convert to PDF and attach them to a single email as individual documents or as one collated document.

Binder reporting - The Binder feature in pdfDocs has been enhanced to identify problematic documents when building such things as CD Bibles, Closing or Deal Books as well as Court Bundles. Problematic documents will be identified in the initial phase of the bundling process to minimize lost time and effort. Users can review log files for more detailed information on these documents.

Also included in this release are enhancements to password encryption and the ability to right-click and OCR an image PDF in the pdfDocs Organizer workspace, replacing the original PDF document in the process. This will save users time as well as ensure there are no duplicate documents in the Organizer workspace.

pdfDocs is a project-centric PDF management application that integrates with business applications and systems to provide users the ability to create, collate, edit, redact, annotate and secure PDF content within a unique Organizer workspace. Users can set up multiple Organizer workspaces into which they can import all the content relating to a specific case, matter or project. Each individual Organizer workspace can be configured with its own unique output and security settings. Users can print, fax, email and save documents from within the workspace as well as profile documents directly into a document management system. pdfDocs provides out-of-the-box integration with Autonomy, OpenText, NetDocuments, ProLaw, Worldox and MS SharePoint.

A 30-day  trial version of the software is available for download.
