Open and save files to a WebDAV location
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (or WebDAV), is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively manage documents on a remote server. This is useful for storing files in a shared folder over HTTP, or in a document management system (DMS) such as Documentum or Hummingbird, so that the files can be accessed from anywhere.
The built-in support for WebDAV in Nitro Pro 7 enables you to open, edit, and save changes to PDF files stored in HTTP locations. You can check-in and check-out files to give others read-only access to the last saved version of files you are editing.
| NOTE: If you want to save a PDF file to a web location with WebDAV, Windows network drive mapping is required. |
You do not need to perform any special steps to configure Nitro Pro to work with existing WebDAV connections. However, if you need to create a new WebDAV connection, use the following procedures:
