New and Enhanced Features of HotDocs Online Server 6.1

HotDocs Online Server 6.1

• Better assembly engine: The underlying software used to assemble RTF documents on the server has been improved. (For example, assembly speed is, in most cases, three to five times faster than it was with HotDocs Online Server version 5.5.) The engine also assembles complicated documents composed of multiple sub-documents much more quickly and with better results. (Because this assembly engine is based on the engine used in desktop HotDocs version 6, all templates must be converted to the HotDocs 6 format. See the HotDocs helps for additional information on converting to HotDocs 6.)
• Graphical form document assembly and PDF support: You can now assemble graphical form templates on the server, including Envoy-based (HFT) and PDF-based (HPT) forms. Users can save the assembled PDF-based form documents as PDF files. To create PDF-based form templates, you must purchase a license for HotDocs® PDF Advantage, Professional Edition, and to assemble PDF-based forms online, your HotDocs Server authorization terms must enable HotDocs® PDF Advantage.
• Add/delete rows in lists of answers: When completing online interviews, users can now add and delete sets of answers in repeated lists.
• Clear individual answers: You can now clear variables one at a time instead of all at once.
• Appearance of online interview: Several improvements have been made to the JavaScript used to display the online interview, including several fixes for reported problems.
• Manage HotDocs Online Server settings in Control Panel: You can now use a custom Control Panel applet to specify most HotDocs Online settings. Specific settings include document assembly options, user impersonation settings, license management, log file management, and service management.
• Publish interview templates: HotDocs Online Server sites with HotDocs Professional 6.1 can now publish interview templates to the server.
• COM API: New methods and properties have been added to the COM layer, and existing interfaces have been modified to function better under ASP.
• C-interface: There is a new, easier to use interface for Hd6server.dll.
• Assembly Queue: You can now include ASSEMBLE instructions in your HotDocs Online Server templates. Methods and properties for manipulating the assembly queue have been added to the COM interface.
