Here are some more new features in the  recently announced 2.6 release of our document management software. These two topics continue the series I started a few weeks ago.
Microsoft Office Addin
Microsoft are always finding ways to do things differently and MS Office is no exception, particularly with the introduction of MS Office 2007 with its XML based file types and new look and feel.
So we have written a new Office Addin with options for Office 2007 and Office 2003 that allows documents to be saved directly to Document Manager from Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook.
In addition we have enhanced the Outlook functionality to allow attachments to emails to be saved separately or as part of the message.
Infonic Print Driver
The Infonic Print Driver is a windows printer that can be selected as a printer from any application that has a print option. When a document is printed it will create an image of that document (TIF or PDF) and pop-up a profiling window allowing you to index the document in Document Manager.
The print driver can then forward the printed file onto another physical printer so a hard copy is still produced.
The print driver has an API allowing some customisation and automation of its behaviour, for example automatically indexing the images based on the file name of the printed file. We have done this for some Accounting software to automatically file Sales Orders, Invoices etc…
Infonic Print Driver is an optional module so there is a small charge associated.
