Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 20, 2007 -- Architectural Data Systems (ADS) -- the leader in on-line document production software -- today announced Support Documents, a new feature that allows users to view and/or download any of a manufacturer's Web site documents without having to navigate away from the ADS system. Support Documents will be incorporated as a feature within three of ADS' products -- ADSearch, ADSymphony, and ADScheduleLink -- and will allow immediate and seamless access to a number of manufacturer documents such as CAD details and technical specifications.

"Our customers have been asking for this type of enhancement, and we are thrilled to be able to deliver with Support Documents," said Chuck Williams, founder and CEO of ADS. "Our latest feature gives our customers access to all the documents that a manufacturer provides in one easy location. It's about saving time and increasing organizational efficiency, and our customers get that in Support Documents. They no longer have to navigate through thousands of manufacturer's Web sites to find certain documents -- its all in one place, and at the push of button."

Support Documents Features and Benefits The Support Documents feature is an open tool that works with commonly used file types making it flexible and integrated. The user can choose to download the chosen manufacturer information to a number of formats including PDF, CAD and HTML. Common manufacturer documents accessed through Support Documents include AutoCAD detail drawings, cleaning/maintenance specifications, product/manufacturer specifications, warranty information, safety documents/hazardous materials, user manuals, parts lists and ADA information. The information is electronically selected and pulled into whatever format the user chooses in an organized and seamless manner.

"Our customers need a tool that connects every aspect of the architectural drawing while, at the same time, enabling easy access to an inordinate amount of product information and content -- all from one location and in real-time," said John Thielmann, e-Commerce Development Manager, Postal Products Unlimited, Inc. "Support Documents is the only feature I've seen of its kind offering a robust, open design that allows us to extend vital information on hundreds of products we offer to the end-user -- all electronically and in one place.
