This blog article outlines the DocumentsCorePack ServerBased send as pdf preview and edit functionality. The edit functionality allows to modify generated pdf-documents in MS Word before you send it to the customer with the DCP SB [Create document]-button. 

Please note, that the usage of SharePoint integration is mandatory in order to use the edit-functionality!

Requirements: DocumentsCorePack ServerBased (DCP SB) v.2015.18 for OnPremise, DocumentsCorePack ServerBased (DCP SB) v.2013.73 for the online version

Step-by-step description:

Generally, it is very easy to create and send e.g. quotes or an invoice to the customer with DCP SB. This can be done with a click on the [Create Document]-button inside the CRM CommandBar.
