Software Alliance Programs

Our Software Alliance Program exists to support organizations who develop Connectors utilizing  the eCopy ShareScan Software Development Kit (SDK) or the PDF Connector SDK.

ShareScan SDK – The ShareScan SDK broadens your application to capture paper documents at the front office networked copier (MFP) and provide the security and protection needed to support government and related compliance regulations.

The PDF SDK - The PDF Connector SDK is a flexible software component that extends eCopy PDF Pro Office and Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise with document processing applications. Use the PDF Connector SDK if you want to:

• build custom interfaces to enable various functions - Save, Open, Insert, Attach - in your proprietary applications
• integrate different Document Management Systems into your proprietary applications

The SDKs are available to:

• Corporate IT Departments - For any organization that would like to develop a Connector for internal use.
• Independent Software Vendors/System Integrator - For any organization that would like to develop a Connector and will be distributing or selling the developed solution.
