Purepage Server
4.0 User Guide
Purepage Server renders each new or changed document in your Sites into HTML
making it viewable to anyone with a browser. Importantly, Purepage Server ensures
your published documents retain the look and feel of the original documents
(including layout, links, images, formatting, fonts etc.) by relying on the latest HTML
standards found in all version 4.x or later browsers. This ensures that users see the
documents as the author intended.
Viewing the Content
By relying on HTML for the presentation of rendered documents, Purepage Server
eliminates the security concerns some software places on your network by relying on
Java based viewing solutions. Using HTML also eliminates the need for end users and
administrators to download, install and upgrade proprietary viewing plug-ins that may
not be supported in the future. Purepage Server allows your users to view all
content on the Site using just a standard web browser!
The Document Portal
During the publishing of your Sites, Purepage Server creates the document portal
that allows end users to easily contribute, find, access and navigate content within the
Site. Of course, the document portal is accessible using any standard web browser.
For added security, the document portal retains your Windows NT file and folder
permissions as well as your web server permissions so you can control which users
can view and access content.
Serving the Content
Purepage Server allows you to serve the published Site content using any standard
web server - simply point it to the right folder. This allows end users to view content
in a familiar way and allows tight integration to other areas of your Intranet or web
site. Purepage Server allows end users to quickly find the information they are
looking for by integrating with search engines.
Searching the Content
Providing Site searching for your users is an excellent way of allowing them to
quickly find and access the information the information they are looking for.
Purepage Server can quickly be configured to work with virtually any third party
search engine.
