Editing from Microsoft Word

Hi,

A requirement of our potential project says "CMS should allow Editing from Microsoft Word".

I am trying to first understand this requirement (we are yet to clarify this from client) and then examine whether AEM has this feature.

Is the requirement that we should be able to import Word documents in to the CMS and be able to edit the word document from within CMS?

Or probably word file creation itself should happen within CMS and of course its editing also subsequently.

Followed Documentation for AEM 6.1 Offline Importer and imported a word document.

When I double clicked it, I am able to edit it, but this is not what the requirement is.

I would guess that we should be able to edit using Word editor.

Could you please throw some light on your understanding of this requirement and AEM's feature towards it?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Rama.

Yes Rama,  there is no word doc editor in Aem and you have to upload docs manually after updation.  I believe, it would not be easy to build a app which syncs update docs with aem dam.  Though it is feasible thing.  It is like Google Drive.

I want to edit text AFTER a file has been transferred from MS to Adobe Acrobat format.  Is this possible or not?

Hi rd2,

Just to confirm - you say you want to edit text in Adobe Acrobat? ie not Adobe AEM.

The Acrobat forum is at:

- https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

They will be able to help your further.

That is what I said.

And, no information on this topic is located there.
