Overview
DocOrigin is a set of applications that format customer application data into professional-quality documents and forms. DocOrigin can create a wide range of documents, such as:
- general business forms like invoices, shipping documents, packing slips
and purchase orders
- government and institutional forms
- customized banking and insurance statements and documents
- Service Bureau document production
DocOrigin can generate printed output for a variety of printers, or create multi-page Adobe® PDF documents with indexing and security features. Printer Drivers can be customized to meet the needs of new models to adjust paper tray selection etc.
All of the DocOrigin applications run on the Microsoft® Windows® platform. Essentially all of the non-GUI applications run on Linux-like OSs and some, most notably DocOrigin Merge, also run on AIX (and IBM i/PASE).
Platforms
DocOrigin is available for the following platforms
- Windows 64-bit (this platform alone, includes the GUI tools; e.g. Design, FilterEditor, …)
- Linux 64-bit, e.g. Red Hat, Ubuntu
- AIX 64-bit
- AIX/PASE for the IBM i
Minimum Configuration Recommendation
DocOrigin requires very little as a minimum if you simply wish to output documents occasionally, but we presume you are part of an enterprise that produces millions of documents on a production basis. Still, DocOrigin–s recommended requirements are quite modest. In the context of an Intel, 64-bit processing system:
- Memory: 4GB (Ok); 8GB recommended
- CPU: i5 or i7 class
- Processors: quad-core (for running multiple instances of FolderMonitor)
- Disk: 7.2K rpm, (heavy duty usage – 15K rpm or SSD), keep 20GB free
- Microsoft C-Runtime library for Visual C++ 2017
Linux-like systems generally require somewhat less than Windows systems.
DocOrigin will run on much less, e.g. any modern $500 laptop, but the above is meant for production purposes and as necessary for enterprises with demanding and/or high-volume printing/output needs.
You will need Java 8 if you are going to use Merge External PDFs or DocOrigin WebService functionality.
(As of 3.3.002.01) Windows GUI applications are dependent on .NET 4.5 framework.
