Document utilities
Document utilities is the set of small tools the rest of the suite leans on: PDF handling, archives, managed downloads and fetching a file from somewhere else.

What Document utilities does
Small tools the rest of the suite leans on.
Compress and extract archives
For the cases where a set of files travels as one.
Manage downloads and links
Downloads are links and managed shares rather than files pushed at people, so access can still be withdrawn.
Queue a URL download
Fetching from elsewhere is queued rather than done in front of you, so a slow source does not hold up the person who asked.
What it claims to do
The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.
Document utilities on the Administration page- PDF tools — produce and manipulate PDFs
- Archives — compress and extract
- Downloads — links and managed shares
- URL downloads — queue a fetch from elsewhere
Where it connects
The modules Document utilities hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
