Drawloop’s Combine to PDF on Box is Amazing!
by Shane Van Veghel
“I wanted to congratulate Box.net on adding the Drawloop PDF service. It has made sending multiple documents from my Box account SO EASY! I was able to combine a letter with a PowerPoint document, as well as a couple of pictures I had into one PDF document. I was then able to send the link to my PDF to my family and friends. I’m already thinking up other ways in which to use this: sharing my resumes and art portfolios, etc. This is a GREAT service and absolutely worth $1/month!”
Combine to PDF: Subscription service ($1 per user / month) allowing a Box.net user to select multiple files from Box to combine to a PDF. The interface allows you to pick individual pages to control and customize the final PDF. This is an excellent service for sales teams as it allows you to convert, organize, and combine files to PDF. Your customer will appreciate receiving one organized, professional, and visually consistent secure PDF rather than a series of files that are confusing, out of order, and time consuming for the recipient to review.
If you are a developer or an independent software vendor who is looking to add document automation to your applications, LOOP API is the answer. We have recently deployed an elegantly simple API that delivers powerful document services to be built into a number of business critical applications. This includes dynamically merging data into documents, converting documents to PDF and combining documents and/or pages to a single file.
Some document examples include:
Business Need:
Business wants to deliver one combined file
Use convert and combine API elements to package and combine multiple documents and/or specific pages to a single PDF
Business Need:
Business wants to automate and customize documents with metadata
Use merge, convert and combine API elements to merge and customize documents with metadata. Those documents are then converted and combined using the specific pages in the exact order required to create your final, personalized DDP (dynamic document package).
LOOP API is currently deployed with Salesforce.com, NetSuite and several Drawloop enterprise customers who have leveraged our document automation services within their business applications.

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.
Zillion Business Review has interviewed our Co-founder, Jim Roberson, about our company and our on-demand document automation services. Zillion Business Review is published by the Dutch publisher Zillion Media B.V. The magazine is an international business magazine aimed at the top management and executives in international companies.
Zillion became interested in our company due to our recent LOOP Exchange announcement. One of the editors contacted us for an interview. The interview was recently published in the Zillion Business Review and we wanted to share the article with you.
We are proud and excited to introduce the beta release of LOOP Exchange. LOOP Exchange is a simple yet revolutionary way for you to web-enable Microsoft® Office® documents for file sharing.
Register today for LOOP Exchange, it’s free! If you are already part of our LOOP community, you can login to LOOP Exchange with your LOOP email and password to begin building and deploying Dynamic Document Packages (DDPs) for sharing.
LOOP Exchange is an industry first as it lets anyone create, build and deploy web-based solutions with the same Microsoft Office files that people have used for years. Since LOOP Exchange is built on a simple and proven technology, no programming experience is needed to create and deploy Dynamic Document Packages. Our LOOP community will be able to easily and safely share all of their hard work and intellectual capital without exposing their documents, formulas or secrets. LOOP Exchange brings web-based solutions to anyone who has ever worked with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.
What makes LOOP Exchange different?
Unlike other file sharing services where files are posted for sharing in their original format, LOOP Exchange goes beyond just sharing. We allow you to share your document or set of documents as a web-based solution protecting your original files and delivering dynamic output to the user. LOOP Exchange converts the files into a web-based solution to capture inputs on a web form and dynamically create output as a single PDF. The original files remain secure and untouched.
Since LOOP Exchange is part of LOOP, it also leverages our document packaging technology, which makes it easy to add other file types to your DDP, including any PDF, JPG, HTML, XML, Text, BMP, GIF, PNG, Publisher and Visio files, and deliver all of them as single PDF.
What is a Dynamic Document Package (DDP)?
A DDP is a document or group of documents consisting of Microsoft Excel, Word and/or PowerPoint files used to create web-based solutions. All of this is done without exposing any of the formulas or other confidential information from your original files.

We wanted to share a recent email summary from one of our LOOP users — we asked him to explain how he has been using our Add URL function on LOOP to PDF for Firefox:
“I am a graduate student, and I spend a lot of time doing research on the Internet. I found your LOOP service on Firefox which has allowed me to document web research more efficiently. I can now capture web pages and convert them to PDF files by clicking the add URL button. Even better, it allows me to quickly package them into a single PDF, bookmark each website and then name the new combined PDF file. When LOOP converts the web page to PDF, it automatically places the web address at the bottom of the page so I have record of where I found the information. I also discovered that it allows me to create PDF files from a variety of file types and package them into one PDF file, including my web pages. Not only did LOOP save me a TON of time it also helped me better organize my web research. Overall, this tool is WAY COOL! Thanks Drawloop!”
