Edit & Manage PDFs in eDOCS by OpenText
Connect Foxit PDF Editor directly to your eDOCS DM repository. Open, check out, edit, and save PDFs with full version control and audit trails.
Professional PDF Tools Connected to eDOCS by OpenText
Native Access via Add a Place
Connect eDOCS inside Foxit PDF Editor via File > Open > Add a place > eDOCS DM. Once authenticated, eDOCS becomes a permanent location in your Open and Save As menus.
Check Out, Edit & Check Back In
Opening a document triggers eDOCS's native check-out process, locking the file so others cannot overwrite it. Save checks it back in with full version control.
Maintain Chain of Custody
Documents stay connected to the eDOCS repository throughout the editing lifecycle.
Full Version Control & Audit Trails
The integration supports eDOCS's versioning rules—check documents back in as a new version or replace the existing file while maintaining comprehensive audit history.
Upload New PDFs to eDOCS
Generate new PDFs locally or convert other file types, then upload them directly to the eDOCS server using Save As > eDOCS DM.
Requires eDOCS DM Client Extension
The integration bridges Foxit PDF Editor and the eDOCS system using a local client extension installed on the same machine.
