Exploring a Blueprint for Power PDF Connector Integration

When a PDF document workflow presents bottlenecks, productivity suffers. Errors can increase, costing time and money to address. Often, these issues stem from one basic problem: a lack of integration between software that demands tedious manual work. Even advanced document management systems and cloud platforms may not interface directly with your PDF software of choice, such as Tungsten Power PDF. With a free solution available right now on the Tungsten Marketplace. However, it’s possible to streamline and accelerate the development of Power PDF connector integration.

Instead of facing a long development cycle, difficulties in execution or coping with a lack of reliable functionality, the Power PDF Connector Blueprint provides a clear path, valuable resources and actionable information to begin porting Power PDF functionality into other software—from DMS platforms to the cloud and beyond. Let’s take a closer look.

Why Consider PDF Workflow Automation?

Friction in business processes creates opportunities for problems and keeps work from moving as quickly as it could. In today's fast-paced environment, the opportunity to skip steps and make workflows more efficient is not one to miss. By working to integrate more functionality into Power PDF, common tasks can become far easier to accomplish. Instead of manually moving information around, a custom toolbar and buttons can enable your teams to accomplish key efforts directly from within Power PDF or your other platforms. Some possibilities include:

• Sending a PDF document to a rapid redaction tool powered by artificial intelligence.
• Sending the text of a PDF to a text-to-speech reader.
• Passing a document to a translation service for automatic machine translation for faster impacts.

With the custom PDF connector blueprint from the Marketplace, achieving outcomes such as robust Microsoft Office PDF integration is far simpler. Since such a task has not always been easy, this free framework provides a clear path towards a strong ROI.

Introducing the Custom Power PDF Connector Blueprint

Developed by Tungsten Labs, this blueprint for building Power PDF connectors uses the popular and broadly supported .NET framework from Microsoft. With this framework, extending functionality across different platforms is straightforward. Integrate open, save and even interface configuration options wherever and however you require such functionality.

Not only is this Marketplace solution easy to set up and begin using to empower faster, more effective integration and Power PDF connector development, but it is also available at no additional cost to users.

Key Features and Core Benefits to Note

This blueprint, as a ready-made framework, provides the .NET template required for connector development to begin. Anticipating a wide range of potential needs and possible software integrations, the solution is easy to work with and highly configurable to manage common pain points and lead to better outcomes. Some of the features to note include:

• Support for implementing DocOpen, DocSave, and MenuAction, all common lifecycle methods that are familiar and valuable.
• The ability to define user interface settings in customizable ways, with user customization settings persisting across sessions due to registry data.
• The opportunity to integrate custom menus and complete toolbars with the application of XML and related solutions.
• Built to be easy to integrate with enterprise-level software systems and SaaS deployments.

To bring your developers up to speed and ensure that integration efforts begin promptly, the Blueprint also includes a sample project that highlights how to make the best use of this solution. Some of the potential integrations possible with this framework include seamless connections between Amazon Web Services, Box and even Salesforce with Power PDF. Because of the flexibility of the .NET framework, you can even integrate Power PDF into your own proprietary software or business workflows.

Alongside the sample project, this framework also includes extensive documentation that helps developers prepare for their work. The cleanly-structured code is easy to understand and modify, and a series of well-defined steps towards deployment provide the roadmap necessary to achieve positive outcomes when connecting Power PDF to REST APIs, DMS platforms, cloud services and more.

Upon successful deployment of DMS or cloud PDF connectors, Power PDF will contain the custom toolbars and special menu options your teams require, placing critical functions just a few clicks away.
