The OLE Bean is a Servoy bean that allows you to edit many MS Office documents and view Adobe Acrobat files as if their (MS Windows) editors and viewers were part of Servoy.
Below is a screenshot of a MS Word document being edited through the OLE Bean placed on a Servoy form:
Once the user drops a document file or URL onto the Bean, the OS Native editor for that file type will be invoked based on the mime-type. The data will be automatically imported to the database record.
The Image Bean relies on the MediaManager Bean for interaction with the User Interface and the DataStream Plug-in for data transport between the client and the server.
Because of the mentioned dependencies you need to own or buy a license for both the MediaManager Bean and the DataStream Plug-in additionally to the Image Bean.
If you already own a license for these two you can purchase an 'upgrade' from the MediaManager Bean to the Image Bean.

- Having documents embedded directly into the form means single-handling.
- There is no need to export the document, save locally, re-import and upload.
- Reduce operator error significantly and improve the throughput substantially.
In short every solution that needs direct access to native applications can benefit from the OLE Bean.

Important
The Image Bean relies on the MediaManager Bean for interaction with the User Interface and the DataStream Plug-in for data transport between the client and the server.

If you already own a license for these two you can purchase an 'upgrade' from the MediaManager Bean to the Image Bean.
