Build API into Drawloop that can be called by using apex only
It would be good if Drawloop could have API’s that could be called directly via apex without needing tables (external or otherwise) or drawloop packages either.
So the API would just pass the id of the document template, and the data to be mapped to it, perhaps in a map or json structure where you could have a matchup like this:
"<<field1>>" : "Fred"
"<<Filed2>>" : "Smith"
etcSo that given an document template, the data to go on it and the field tags could be sent via the apex API without requiring involvement from a Salesforce object or needing…

Dynamically controlling the Field codes conversion to text
In the Docgen template, we have Field codes to dynamically render the text in the Document. we have scenarios where we might wanna download the doc in a word format, rather than a PDF. To ensure that a user can update the doc, we convert the field codes to text. what this does is, it would also remove the hyperlinks, table of contents etc.. it would be nice to have a flag over the field tagger, that could decide whether a respective Field code has to be retained / converted to text...

Row Replication for Insert-Update Task's Field
My DocGen Package has an Insert-Update that creates a Task. I'd like that Task's Description field to list data from multiple records related to the main object. Can row replication work for populating Fields, instead of just for templates? Thanks!

Control Image Size in Word Merge
When merging images into a Word document there is no way to control the size of the image when the merged image is of an unknown size. The merged image is resized to be the same dimensions as the placeholder image which means that more often than not you end up with an image with the wrong aspect ratio.
It would be useful if, when merging an image, you can nominate a height or width. DocGen could then resize the image to fit the height/width and preserves the aspect ratio by setting the relevant width/height.

Adjust addendum functionality to support Salesforce Files
Allow the use of Salesforce Files and Content Documents in the addendum functionality. Currently, it only supports Documents, which are not supported in Lightning, and makes using the app for Salesforce communities far more difficult.

Enable "Delete Container if Empty" for PowerPoint
Currently, Delete Container if Empty" works for MS Word, but not for PowerPoint. It would be great to enable that feature for PPT as well since we use this function a lot for generating documents.

Option on Mass DocGen to Merge All Output
While Mass DocGen from a report allows us to create a large number of documents at once, printing these efficiently involves a lot of babysitting.
Say you generate 2,000 documents that need to be printed and mailed. Your documents are output into the DocGen Queue. Because Lightning list views only allow the selection of 200 items, you have to repeat this process ten times:
1. Scroll DocGen Queue list view down to expose 200 or more records.
2. Select 200 records.
3. Click Download 1 PDF button to merge them into a single PDF.
4. Wait 5-6 minutes for the…15 votesWe are evaluating this for our next round of development. Please share any information with us that can help us improve your experience!

Create ability to auto-open drawloop generated documents in browser (no longer require users to click on the rendered document)
Create ability to auto-open drawloop generated documents in browser (no longer require users to click on the rendered document).
Our users would like to interface with the drawloop created document less as a separate document and moreso as an integrated part of salesforce. They primarily use an Ipad to interface with SFDC. The render, click to download files, then opening the files seems a bit choppy.
Would like to propose an option to, once rendered, immediately open the file in browser3 votes -
Get DDP name in Field Tagger
To keep the number of different file templates we use to a minimum, we often reuse the same template on different DDPs. It would be helpful to be able to get the DDP name in the field tagger, so we can add the DDP name to a template and identify which DDP created the file.
