Almost a year after our groundbreaking DOCman 5.0 release, we’re excited to introduce DOCman 5.2, a further step in our journey of continuous improvement. If you haven't already, head on over to the downloads area in your Joomlatools dashboard.
In DOCman 5.2, we’ve focused on refining performance, squashing bugs, and enhancing key features that matter most to you. Whether it’s smoother file uploads, improved search functionality, or tighter security, every change is designed to make your document management experience even better.
We’re proud to continue evolving DOCman for both Joomla and WordPress, ensuring that you always have the tools you need to manage your digital documents with confidence.
Required Joomla version
It doesn't matter which modern version of Joomla your site uses, whether that's Joomla 3, Joomla 4, or the latest Joomla 5, DOCman 5 is compatible with them all. Developed on Joomlatools' own framework, DOCman provides a consistent set of features across the Joomla versions.
New Features in DOCman 5.2
New Batch Scanner
Our new batch scanner feature takes bulk document processing to the next level. With this powerful tool, you can quickly generate searchable PDF libraries in just a few clicks—making it easier than ever to manage thousands of documents. For a deeper dive into how this works, check out our detailed blog post on creating beautiful, searchable PDF libraries.
Index Custom Fields in Smart Search
We’re excited to announce that DOCman now fully integrates Joomla custom fields with Smart Search. This means that all the custom data you add to your documents will now be indexed by Joomla’s Smart Search functionality. Finding the exact document you need has never been more efficient!
Embedded PDF Files in Doclink Now Respect Download Permissions
Security and access control are at the heart of DOCman. With DOCman 5.2, embedded PDF files in Doclink now strictly adhere to download permissions. Users without the necessary rights will no longer be able to download protected PDFs—ensuring that your sensitive content stays secure.
Keep the feedback coming! We’re always listening and working to make DOCman even better!
