Built‑In Protection, Always On

Reliable Performance, Every Time
Stability improvements, accessibility upgrades, and targeted fixes create a smoother, more predictable experience so teams can trust every action and every output.
Litera Create 3.14
Create envelopes and labels in seconds
Stop manually retyping recipient details. Now, Create automatically populates the detail grid with any text you highlight in Word, saving time and reducing errors.
Never miss a client secret expiration
Admins now receive automated email reminders starting 90 days before identity service client secrets expire. Renew secrets directly to maintain uninterrupted access and avoid preventable service outages.
A smoother, more secure drafting experience
This release includes performance, stability, and security improvements so you can work more confidently with every document.
Litera Numbering, Table of Contents, and DocID (NTD) 3.16.1
Rules‑based DocID Positioning
Automatically place DocIDs exactly where they belong without overlap, manual fixes, or template surprises. Rules‑based DocID positioning intelligently allows firm admins to apply placement rules by document type for cleaner, more consistent document output.
Flexible Table of Contents Section Insertion
Insert a TOC into a new section without losing any header or footer content. The workflow places TOC headings in the document body and supports flexible, section‑specific page numbering, preserving existing headers while producing clean, predictable results.
Metadact 5.21
A more accessible, intuitive workflow for Basic Mode
Standardize accessibility across Basic Mode. Dialogs now announce intent, set focus correctly, and guide users through each step, from recipient confirmation to cleaning workflows, ensuring tasks can be completed confidently with keyboard or screen reader support.
More control over document metadata
A new “Change to” option lets administrators define exactly how Template metadata should be updated during cleaning. This behavior is applied consistently across configuration points and reflected in reports for easier governance.
pdfDocs 6.0 & 6.1
A faster, more powerful engine
pdfDocs now runs on a best-in-class PDF engine, delivering significant performance improvements across OCR, text, search, compression, and more, for faster processing and more responsive workflows.
Higher document fidelity across workflows
This release resolves customer reported issues that impacted output accuracy, including corruption of Japanese language headers, footers, and watermarks, redaction placement inconsistencies, and errors during PDF splitting.
