LDAP authentication

The updated login page enhances security and user convenience by integrating LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication directly into the login screen. This feature allows users to authenticate with their existing domain credentials, streamlining access to ONLYOFFICE services without the need for separate login credentials.

By enabling LDAP integration, teams can ensure seamless authentication across their network, maintaining centralized user management and security policies. This not only simplifies user access but also enhances data security by leveraging existing domain authentication protocols. Additionally, administrators have greater control over user permissions and access rights, enhancing overall system management efficiency.

New interface and PDF sharing

The ONLYOFFICE Documents app for Android has introduced several new features to enhance the PDF form-filling experience:

• Easier navigation: use arrows to navigate between fields that need to be completed.
• Intuitive form filling: fields that need to be filled in are highlighted, making it easy to see where input is required.
• Redesigned interface: improved radio buttons and check boxes for a smoother user experience.
• Guidance features: pop-up tooltips provide better navigation and help with filling in forms.
• Context menu options for adding images: choose from the gallery, take a picture, or add a link for more versatile form completion.

After completing your work with a PDF form, you have several options:

• Save options: save the form to a portal in the desired location and choose a folder to save it in.
• Export and share: export the form and share it with your teammates.
• Add to favorites: add the form to favorites if you plan to use the template frequently.

These enhancements make working with PDF forms in the ONLYOFFICE Documents app for Android more efficient and user-friendly.
