OnDemand Compostion: DTM
On-Demand Composition for DTM provides the ability to render and present a document on an external website or within DocWeb. Through an API or the On-Demand Manager in DocWeb, a DTM document can be rendered using the same data, templates, message blocks, images, and pdfs that they use for a regular DTM print job.
The API can be called from your site and a document can be presented online. This means that the you can update your existing sites and applications to call our API and render documents On-Demand. The Doxs Direct team has also added a manager within the DocWeb portal in order for you to test and render actual documents.
Release Date:

PDF Accessibility
DocWeb has upgraded to produce accessible PDFs. Accessible PDFs can be used with PDF Programs and other assistive technologies to help those with disabilities and other difficulties to read PDFs.
What makes a PDF Document Accessible
There are many factors to making a PDF Accessible. For our purposes the main points are important:
- PDF Document must be marked as PDF/UA
- PDF Language must be set (please note that only one language can be set for a PDF and if the document contain multiple languages it may not be read properly)
- PDF Title must be set
- All Images (including Charts in KUBRA’s case) must have alternative text
- Text may be Accessible (i.e. Tagged) or Artifacts (i.e. Not Tagged)
Release Date:
- This feature is targeted to be available on December 12th
Release Type:
- Manual - This update will be implemented upon request.
Implementation Notes:
- This new feature is optional. Prerequisites and implementation steps are required.
