Last week, I mentioned changes that we’re making to GroupDocs Assembly to make it more intuitive. Document assembly (also known as document automation) is an aspect of document management that you might not be familiar with, so this week I’ll discuss what it is and how it can be used in more detail.
Document Management? You’ve found your way to GroupDocs and the GroupDocs blog so chances are that you have an idea about document management.
Introducing GroupDocs Assembly's New Look and Feel
We’re continuing work on the new and improved GroupDocs look and feel. We’re told you that we’re making changes to the GroupDocs dashboard and GroupDocs Viewer, and we’re also changing GroupDocs Annotation. We’re not stopping there. We’re also making changes to GroupDocs Assembly. GroupDocs Assembly is an app that lets you automate document assembly and automation. Think of your document as a form that you can use to create several new documents from.

GroupDocs Annotation is a web-based app that allows users to annotate PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents online, from a web-browser. With this app, you and your colleagues and partners can review and annotate a document simultaneously, in real time. We’re constantly working to improve the app’s interface and would like to introduce a new set of features we’ve recently designed and implemented.

Performing document conversion and image conversion with GroupDocs
Earlier this week I talked about document conversion, including image conversion, and why you’d want to do it. Today, I’ll show you how to perform two tasks: first, how to convert the pages in a document to images and then how to convert an image from one format to another. Document conversion is one of the services that GroupDocs offers. You can convert documents you’ve uploaded to a number of different formats.
6 Situations When You Need to Convert Documents
One of the features that GroupDocs offers is document conversion, converting documents from one file formats to another. There are lots of different reasons why this is such a big deal. If you’ve never been sent a file you couldn’t open, or had a file you sent somewhere returned to you because the recipient couldn’t open it - you’ve been lucky! It is becoming much easier to send documents from one application or operating system to another.

GroupDocs lets you collaborate with colleagues or friends in different ways. We’ve described how to upload documents and how to use GroupDocs Signature. Today, we’re going back to basics. The first step to collaboration is sharing ideas and documents. With GroupDocs, sharing documents is easy and safe. You and your colleagues can work together without having to worry whether you have the same applications or the same operating systems and versions.
