With DocBridge Workbench for Pilot, users configure the logic and parameters for a predefined process without needing extensive knowledge of programming. Completely on their own, they can develop process units for specific application scenarios in document processing and output. They simply select a predefined standard process and modify it on the easy-to-use interface. The selected standard process, such as converting an AFP data stream to PDF for e-mailing, can be loaded into the target system for processing together with additional specific parameters.

The main benefits
  • Business users independently develop process units
  • Filter configurator is embedded
  • Simplified creation of a new configuration project
  • Improved user guidance
  • Integrated view component
  • Improved deployment
The DocBridge Workbench for Pilot Concept

With the help of graphical screens and supported by a WYSIWYG document preview, users create an XML process unit that is transferred to the runtime system. DocBridge Workbench for Pilot is an Eclipse-based plug-in and is installed by default with an Eclipse runtime environment. The product also contains a full-fledged DocBridge View program for displaying documents in all the standard formats, such as AFP, PDF, etc.

A graphic filter configurator is embedded in DocBridge Workbench for Pilot. It has various user options to graphically configure filters for AFP, GOF, LCDS, MMD, PCL, PDF and XRX. An XML editor is available for configuring filters for other formats. The configuration settings can be displayed in advance.
