Convert to PDF: Free service allowing a Box.net user to quickly convert files to a PDF and then deliver through sharing or outside delivery services like Gmail. You never leave your Box.net account.

Available file types:
Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, JPG, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Publisher, Bitmap, GIF, PNG, Plain Text, Rich Text, XML, MHT and WPD files.

Combine to PDF: Subscription service ($1 per user / month) allowing a Box.net user to select multiple files from Box to combine to a PDF. The interface allows you to pick individual pages to control and customize the final PDF. This is an excellent service for sales teams as it allows you to convert, organize, and combine files to PDF. Your customer will appreciate receiving one organized, professional, and visually consistent secure PDF rather than a series of files that are confusing, out of order, and time consuming for the recipient to review.

Example – Use Case:
Sales rep needs to share or email a Proposal. The proposal contains the following elements:

1) Cover letter (.doc)
2) Quote (.xls)
3) Product data sheet (.pdf)

Rather than sharing 3 files or emailing 3 separate attachments, use “Combine to PDF” to select the above three (3) files from Box and combine into a single PDF (Proposal.pdf) to share or email to your prospective client. You can control how the Proposal is presented and make sure it is reviewed in the proper order.

“Convert to PDF” and “Combine to PDF” represent the first two document services deployed on Box.net. We will be adding our DDP (Dynamic Document Package) service on Box.net in the near future. This will allow Box.net users to dynamically merge data into document packages and leverage all of the sharing and collaboration tools that exist within Box.
