Use Preferences in the File menu to enable or disable integrations into Office applications; In Power PDF Standard, Open can take input from supported Cloud connectors. In Power PDF Advanced, these Cloud connectors are available along with supported Document Management Systems (DMS), providing they were enabled during a custom install of the product, or later added using Change. Among DMS, SharePoint is always offered, while others are available only if a client component is detected on the local computer.
