Developer Documentation

By combining the flexible power of XML, style sheets and scanned image data into one single document container, customers can now easily “network” their business information and processes.

This new technology makes it possible to merge paper based invoices, purchase orders, contracts and project documents etc. with, for example a document management system or workflow system.

Below you will find introductive White Papers explaining how the Network Document concept works and code samples that you may copy and use.
