Advanced Integration from other ApplicationsNotes Explorer

Advanced Integration from other ApplicationsNotes Explorer

Using a custom VSTO solut ion, add an Inser t Image Ribbon, menu item, and sidebar that allows for easy image inser t ion f r om a Notes r epositor y.

Automation vs. Generation

Document Gener at ion is star t ing to become a viable opt ion• Using the standar d for mats of OOXML, ODF, and PDF

Instead of r equir ing the applicat ion to be pr esent , this is done with no inter act ion of any applicat ion

Tools• C# and the OOXML Toolkit for Of f ice• Java and the Simple Java API for ODF for Symphony• Numer ous PDF APIs and Toolkits for both .NET and Java

Can gener ate ser ver side in a f r act ion of the t ime
