- Digital Signatures and E-Seals – Add legally binding signatures directly during conversion, not in a separate step.
- Automated Workflows and Custom Rules – Trigger conversions, routing, or notifications based on metadata or business events .
- Extended Format Support – Export directly to PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 formats with embedded attachments and rich metadata.
- Cross-Platform Plug-In Support – Upcoming Windows® and macOS® releases will allow you to deploy Dragon wherever your infrastructure is installed.

- Dragon retrieves the BLOB from Oracle, performs the conversion using industry-standard engines, and writes back the new file—updating or inserting it as specified.
- You will receive a clean JSON response with success confirmation, size, and reliable status codes.

- Whether your PDF originates from Apex Office Print (AOP) or any other Oracle-based workflow, Dragon takes care of the conversion.
