Convert Document to PDF in LW

in progress

LexWorkplace Product Team

The agility to convert certain documents, such as Word documents, to a PDF within the LW application.

This would mostly function by clicking the three-dot menu next to a word document, then a command to 'Duplicate as PDF,' which would then create a PDF copy of the document.

Hi, Is there an update on this feature? We are very eager to have this capability and it seems the target was 2022. Thanks!

LexWorkplace Product Team

Jennifer C.: Hi Jennifer. YES! This feature is in development right now actually. And you're right, we'd originally targeted a 2022-Q4 release, but it's been delayed and we're now shooting for 2023-Q1, so hopefully very soon.

PS--I've seen the feature in it's pre-release status, very slick, I think you'll like it.

LexWorkplace Product Team: Is there a more concrete timeline that you could provide?

LexWorkplace Product Team

Jack R.: Hi Jack, great question. It's difficult to provide timeframes for most development projects, as priorities can shift based on customer demand. That said, this particular feature is on the shorter side, our GOAL is to complete this in Q4 of this year.

This feature would save a lot of people a lot of time, and desktop space. We would love to see it out soon!!

Melissa Jantzer

This feature is super important for our office and we definitely want to see this update as soon as possible!! Thanks.

Maria Tanzillo

This should be one of the top five development features! What's the expected rollout on this feature? Soon I hope!

LexWorkplace Product Team

Maria Tanzillo: This feature request is quickly climbing in votes! We do plan to develop this, just a matter of when and priority. :)

Also, it would be great to have a simple "duplicate document" feature for creating a copy of a document within the same folder (word doc to word doc, for example) and automatically getting a prompt to rename it. Currently, the process is: (1) select file, (2) copy, (3) paste, (4) receive the "duplicate item found" warning with option to rename and paste, (5) when option is clicked, file is renamed automatically with "(Copy 1)" at the end of the file name (there is no option to enter custom file name), (6) locate the automatically renamed file, and (7) rename the file with the desired file name. We frequently create new documents from old ones, so this would be a very helpful feature to make the process go more quickly.

Tim Atler: This is a great idea Tim. I'm going to break this out as its own Feature Request.

This is very important to us. I think I just created another request for it because I did not see this one.

Merged in a post:

SAVE WORD DOCS AS PDFS

Lisa S.

We need to be able to save Word docs as PDFs directly in LexWorks. It takes too many steps to save the PDF on your desktop, then drag it into LexWorks, delete it from your desktop, then, start an email & attach the PDF to the email. Like many firms we do not send out Word docs unless they are draft documents.

Great suggestion. Also, have ability to Save As an existing Word Doc to another Word Doc directly within the LW app. Create a Save As function.
