Foxit Integration

Dennis Louie
  • Updated

 

Purpose

This plugin adds two new options to the Home ribbon in Foxit PDF Editor/Reader:

  • Save to SharePoint
  • Open from SharePoint

These new options allow you to interact with your SharePoint environment to save and open documents directly within Foxit PF Reader/Editor when using MacroView DMS Pro.

In Foxit the MacroView options will appear by default on the Home tab.

How it works

After installing DMS Pro with the plugin, new ribbon buttons will appear in the Home ribbon in Foxit PDF Reader/Editor Editor.

When you select Open from SharePoint or Save to SharePoint, the DMS Pro File Explorer window will appear allowing you to interact with your SharePoint environment.

This functionality is the same as the Open from SharePoint and Save to SharePoint options you may already be familiar with using in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
