Release notes

Acrobat Sign Document Builder V 1.3

  • Advanced relationship mapping: Document Builder now allows you to establish up to five levels of child-to-parent relationships (lookup fields) for related objects. With this enhancement, you can make detailed field mappings to handle your complex Salesforce data models.
    Document Builder permits multiple related objects directly linked to the master object within a single object field mapping. However, considering Salesforce limitations, you cannot specify more than 20 parent-child relationships (related objects) in a single SOQL query.
    Example of child-to-parent relationship: Contact.Account.Owner.FirstName (considering Contact as the master object, this represents three levels).
  • Configure Sorting and Filtering of Merged Data: You can now configure the sorting and filtering of merged data within related objects. Learn how to configure Sorting and Merging of Merged Data.

Learn how to Upgrade the Document Builder package to the latest version.

Примітка.

With the release of V 1.3, we've updated the adobesign__Object_Name__c field to match the child relationship name. This field represents the name of the related field within the adobesign__Related_Object_Mapping__c custom object. Document Builder templates with related fields in object field mapping will seamlessly function in Document Builder 1.3 and future versions. However, the Document Builder templates created in V 1.3 and later won't work with Word templates that have tags for related fields from templates made before Document Builder V 1.3.

Resolved issues

Issue number Corrected issue description
29923

Resolved the issue where users could not select a sample record in Document Builder templates using a mouse.

  • Enhanced template handling: With the latest PDF services API version 3.x.x, Document Builder package can efficiently handle larger Word templates, accommodating sizes of up to 5.5 MB. This enhancement empowers you to design and work with more extensive and intricate templates within the Document Builder package.
  • Searchable combobox fields: When creating Document Builder templates, you’ll find it notably expedited as combobox fields are now searchable. This means you can easily search and populate fields like Sample Data, Salesforce fields, and Sample Record Data, streamlining the template creation process.
  • Sandbox integration: The Document Builder package now seamlessly integrates with the Sandbox environment, providing you with even more flexibility and testing capabilities in your workflow.

Use Document Builder templates on Community cloud portals: The current package includes a permission set for community users that enables them to use the Dcoument Builder templates on their Community cloud portal. Admins must assign permissions to the records either via profile or via sharing settings on those objects.

    • For community login user, you must use community user profile to grant viewAll access to 'Document Builder Template' and 'Object Field Mapping'.
    • For community login plus user and partner community user, you must use sharing rules to grant access to 'Document Builder Template' and 'Object Field Mapping'. To do so, go to Setup > Security > Sharing Settings and then select the object to share read only access based on roles and subordinates.
  • Support for 'group' OAuth scope: With the addition of a new public custom setting called 'Acrobat Sign DOCBLDR Settings,' Salesforce admins can now create an OAuth connection with a group-level admin. 
  • Fixed the issue in merge mapping when the language is switched from English to French.
  • Resolved the problem where merging data using Document Builder and subsequently sending an agreement with a Document Builder template resulted in a failure with the error
    : "Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: STRING_TOO_LONG, Merge JSON Data: data value too large..." The current package now supports longer field lengths.
  • Improved image merging feature: You can now seamlessly merge images into a document template using DocGen API tags.
  • Fixed the issue in Related object field mapping: With the current release, you can seamlessly map a related object via a lookup relationship. It allows you to generate a document from a master object (such as WorkOrder) and include child line items (such as WorkOrder related lists) in the document.
  • Fixed the issue in filtering standard objects: The current release resolves the related object filter issue where a custom object was filtered out when a child custom object relationship is added. The added custom objects now show up in the related object list.

Overview

Document Builder is an Adobe Acrobat Sign for Salesforce feature that provides the ability to automatically generate documents using Salesforce data. It is a part of the existing Sign Agreement Template functionality. Salesforce admins can enable teams or individual team members to use Document Builder for creating documents, such as proposals, quotes, or agreements. The generated document is sent as an attachment with the Acrobat Sign Agreement template and can be easily tracked and managed in Salesforce.

Document Builder is an extension package to the Adobe Acrobat Sign for Salesforce base package and does not require any additional purchase. The feature provides a step-by-step wizard for creating rules for merging data from salesforce object fields into a Word document template.

Upgrade Document Builder base package to a later version

You can upgrade the Adobe Acrobat Sign Document Builder package from the Salesforce AppExchange. This section provides instructions on how to upgrade Adobe Acrobat Sign for Document Builder from an older version to the latest version.

  1. Log in to Salesforce using your admin credentials.
  2. Navigate to Setup > Platform Tools > Apps > Packaging > Installed Packages.
Check Adobe Acrobat Sign for Document Builder package version
Check Adobe Acrobat Sign for Document Builder package version

To upgrade Adobe Acrobat Sign Document Builder package:

  2. Select Get It Now.

Troubleshoot common problems

  • I get an 'Invalid refresh token' error when I try to sign in to Adobe Acrobat Sign for Salesforce. How do I fix the error?

To troubleshoot the 'Invalid refresh token' error, the Salesforce admin must ensure that OAuth to Sign is performed properly for the Document Builder package.

  • I get an error while uploading the Word template file for creating the Document Builder template. Why am I unable to upload the Word file?

The Word template used in the Document Builder template cannot exceed ~4.4MB. Depending on the mapping rules set in the Document Builder template and the data pulled from the Salesforce org, the allowed Word template size might be even smaller. So, you must ensure that the Word template file size is not larger than the limit.
