PDF publishing using Job Processor for office documents

[frank.gavilar]

I would like the ability to use the Job Processor to publish PDF files of office documents.

This would allow us to attach released documentation of our products to their corresponding items ready and approved for internal/external use.

Our organisation has 2 user groups for the Vault. Design Engineers - Using Vault Professional and non-design engineers, sales, planning, production and purchasing using Vault Office. The second group is starting to notice the security and relative ease we manage our files. We have fully integrated Vault's Project Folder, Item Master and Engineering Change Orders into our product lifecycles. We now want to expand this to additional design documents such as:

Product Brochures

Product Datasheets

Product FMEA

Internal/ External assembly/installation instructions

As well as QHSE documents:

Norms

Procedures

Workflows

etc.

All these files have a revision system which is currently managed by hand. We would like to transfer these files into the vault and attach the released (.pdf) versions to corresponding Items.

Très important effectivement que Vault gère tous les types de fichiers d'Autodesk et d'Office, notamment pour la création de fichiers PDF liés.

This functionality would be invaluable to our company in providing controlled document access for our hundreds of end users.  Thank you for posting this, we strongly support this idea!

Hello,
this is a very important feature that will help us a lot. We have stored documents in the vault that, like drawings, have a life cycle and must be submitted to our client for review and approval. An automated PDF creation with the job server triggered by a certain status in the life cycle would be ideal for this.

Thank you for this idea.
