GCI PowerTools for Documents (PTfD)

From simple PDF conversions to complex regulated document assembly, PowerTools for Documents “Document Builders” enable you to develop and deploy automatic, controlled document production processes within Content Server. Using document builders, you can define standard components such as document templates, common format conversions, signing elements, and watermarks. These can then be pulled together into individual document assembly processes.

PowerTools for Documents automates document production activities, reducing manual work and eliminating costly production errors. With just a couple of clicks, published assembly process can be readily executed by any authorized Content Server user. Simple builders may allow them to convert individual files into PDF or other common formats. While more complex processes could collect multiple files of differing formats from a folder, merging them together to produce documents that are built using consistent rules.

During production, required dynamic elements can be automatically generated by PowerTools for Documents and included into your documents. From tables of content, to header pages and watermarks, common elements can be created from common corporate templates and inserted into the correct position within your documents.

Additionally, Content Server metadata can be extracted from document or workflow attributes and inserted directly into the appropriate places within your documents, enabling you to embed attributes such as print dates, document numbers, or author details.

When ready for publishing, documents can be attached to Content Server workflows ready for review and approval, then finally sent for electronic or digital signing. PowerTools for Documents supports the signing of Word and PDF documents through Windows Certificate Authority, GlobalSign, and CoSign, as well as YubiKey two-factor authentication. Unlike other solutions, PowerTools for Documents signature pages look and feel like regular pages within your document, retaining standard elements such as headers, footers, and orientation.

If you want to automate your document production processes within OpenText Content Server, PowerTools for Documents is a must-have.

Do you manage your ETMFs in Content Server? Need a replacement for Adlib Express? Require robust format rendering support (something more than Word to PDF)? Think there might be a better alternative to Blazon? Been wondering why you're having so many problems with PDF rending like Excel documents being rendered to 100s of pages? Required to render 10K documents per month requested by individual users and /or need to render 200K documents per month from an automatic “publish” workflow (that's 1 document every 5 seconds)? Beginning to think that digital signatures should replace electronic signatures? Want to reduce your costs? PTfD's architecture scales both vertically (e.g. multi-threaded, 64-bit, so adding disk, memory & storage works wonders) and horizontally (e.g. additional servers to work queued jobs) making it straightforward to scale your system to support rendering many hundreds of thousands of documents every month.

PowerTools for Documents (PTfD) provides robust input format support including MS Office 2007-2016, txt, html, and all the usual image formats PLUS Google Suite, and more than 200 of the most common Windows file formats - we've got you covered with PowerTools for Documents
