Omtool, Ltd. (OTCBB:OMTL), a leading provider of document capture and routing products and services, today announced the availability of the Omtool Swiftwriter Plug-In for Adobe, a free one-click solution that delivers integration of Adobe Acrobat® software and Adobe Reader® software with document management systems (DMSs) prominent in the legal industry.
This new plug-in, which is now available for download, integrates with Acrobat and Adobe Reader versions 6, 7, and 8, enabling users to save PDF files directly into document management systems. Omtool’s Swiftwriter Plug-In streamlines the document management process by presenting a toolbar icon and "save-to" command that are tailored to a specific DMS. The Swiftwriter Plug-In is compatible with and currently available for document management systems and repositories from Open Text® (Hummingbird), Interwoven®, Microsoft® SharePoint®, and WORLDOX®. Additional document management system support will be available in the future.
"Swiftwriter has a rich tradition of bringing added value and power to the Acrobat environment," said Thaddeus Bouchard, chief technology officer, Omtool. "As PDF becomes ever more pervasive, companies are looking for tools and solutions to integrate the growing volume of PDF files into enterprise systems and simplify document interactions for users. The Omtool Swiftwriter Plug-In for Adobe lets Acrobat users save their PDF files into their corporate DMS – with one click – right from within the software’s familiar user interface. This convenience increases user productivity and promotes greater repository usage and compliance with document management policies."
When the user clicks on the Omtool Swiftwriter Plug-In toolbar icon or chooses the "save-to" command (e.g. "Save to Interwoven WorkSite®" or "Save to Microsoft SharePoint"), a simple dialog is presented that optionally prompts for any required ID and password. It also presents application-specific parameters that enable the user to connect to the DMS server; enter appropriate indexing, description, and profiling information; and store the PDF file in the correct location. The result is improved productivity and more-efficient workflows.
"Omtool’s new Plug-In provides simple, easy-to-use DMS integration functionality for Acrobat users in the legal industry," stated Rick Borstein, business development manager, Legal Market, Adobe Systems Incorporated. "The combination of Acrobat and Swiftwriter offers our combined customers a strong solution as they manage the growing number of key PDF document-based processes."
Omtool’s Swiftwriter Plug-In for Adobe is licensed at no charge. System requirements, basic support resources, and corporate support packages are available online. Contact Omtool at 800-886-7845 or visit Omtool online for more information.
