In gDoc Binder, we have two distinct ways of viewing your documents. You can view them sequentially in their binder (this is the view you see when you start up binder) or you can use our rather helpful Document View.

Here in the development team, we are strongly encouraged towards a test driven approach when we’re adding or creating new features for our products.

Early on in the development process for gDoc Binder, it was decided that we would initially only support the product on [...]
Our gDoc Platform has been designed to allow our partners to create their own digital binder or eDocument applications to match their branding, their specific device capabilities or the needs of their target market. This week we were very proud to launch the latest version of gDoc Platform (v3.3) and I thought that I share [...]
It was very nice of Caroline Baldwin to do a review of our gDoc Binder. Even though its graphics wasn’t up to par with her expectations she saw through them and explored the great benefits of gDoc Binder… ” The table of contents also automatically updates with the file names of the documents you insert.
