Drawloop Blog

We are proud to finally announce three new enhancements for LOOP DDP, our document automation service.

New Editions

In addition to our free Standard edition, we now offer expanded services and functionality to Premier and Enterprise users. Some of the features include: (i) Unlimited DDPs, (ii) Private DDPs, (iii) SSO / API Deployment, and (iv) Private-Labeled Mini Site.

Embed

Our new embed with Microsoft Silverlight or HTML allows companies to automate document creation anywhere on the Web. With LOOP DDP, you can customize, control and manage document creation at the enterprise level for all users. You can dynamically customize and package any combination of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files into a single file. This new PDF file can then be delivered through virtually any web service, like electronic signatures. LOOP DDP with Silverlight or HTML makes implementation fast and easy. The automated dynamic document package (DDP) can run from LOOP Exchange, from within your website or from your blog using the embed code.

Mini Site

Premier and Enterprise users can now customize and deploy a private labeled website or “Mini Site” for their DDPs. You can deploy Public, Public - Unlisted and Private DDPs for your entire organization on a custom and password protected site with a unique URL.

For an example of a Mini Site, please visit http://acme.drawloop.com to see how you can deploy dynamic document packages (DDPs) on your own custom website.

All of this and more is available on LOOP DDP.

What do you need? Just your documents, that’s it! Our on-demand document automation service allows you to work with the same Microsoft Office documents you have used for years. There are no templates or file conversions required.

We are pleased to learn that PDF is now an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard format for electronic documents. ISO has christened version 1.7 of PDF, the current working version, ISO 32000-1.

Drawloop has been using PDF as our standard for a number of years. Our on-demand document service helps businesses, organizations and individuals automate document creation. In minutes, you can web-enable the same Microsoft Office files your business has been using for years. There is no hardware or software to buy, install or maintain.

You can automate document creation using any combination of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files to deliver one combined PDF file. Some examples include automating sales contracts, sales quotes, proposals and letters. Start automating your document creation today and watch your business grow!

You can now convert your CSS, MHTML, and Word Perfect files to PDF with our online service, LOOP. Below is a listing of all file types supported by LOOP.

Miller Weldmaster and AussieHQ join our growing customer base on Salesforce.com. Like all of our enterprise customers, Miller Weldmaster and AussieHQ were looking to improve efficiency, increase revenue and control document creation. With our LOOPlus service, all of their document creation is generated with the click of a mouse pulling together the required documents and data from any Salesforce.com Object, including Custom Objects and Product Line Items.

We are pleased to announce an improved user interface and additional functionality to LOOP for Salesforce.com. With LOOP, you can convert and combine files to PDF with the option to email or archive in Salesforce.com.

New User Interface

We have created a new interface for LOOP to make it look and feel more like a normal Salesforce page.

Log a File

Users can now create an activity history record that links to a PDF created within LOOP with the simple click of a button. The PDF is stored on Drawloop’s servers and the link in the comments of the activity history allows anyone to download the PDF. The PDF will not count toward your allowed Salesforce storage.

Attach a File

LOOP now offers a quick and easy way to attach a PDF to a Salesforce record. By clicking the “Attach File” button or link, your PDF will be stored as an attachment under the object you clicked LOOP It from.

Add to Salesforce Documents

A PDF created with LOOP can be saved to the Salesforce Documents tab. Click the “Add to SF Documents” button or link, select the folder to save the document to, and the document is stored in Salesforce.
