The Problem We Solve

Why VaultPDF Exists

Modern business systems generate thousands of documents every day — invoices, reports, contracts, compliance forms, and operational records. Yet many organizations still rely on tools designed for static reporting or simple template replacement.

Schema-Driven Intelligence

Effortlessly render complex, multi-level nested data from Dynamics 365 without the need for manual pixel-mapping or static layout rules.

Zero-Egress Architecture

A cloud-native infrastructure designed to run 100% within your Microsoft 365 tenant—your data never leaves your security boundary.

End-to-End Governance

Automated metadata stamping and native Power Automate triggers ensure your documents are immediately ready for business logic and archival.

Immutable Audit & Control

Permanent source-data logs and optional item-level permission locking for "Bank-Grade" document privacy and traceability.

VaultPDF was created to solve these challenges by providing a deterministic document rendering engine designed for modern cloud systems — treating document generation as a structured rendering process, ensuring complex documents are produced reliably, securely, and at scale.

How VaultPDF Works

A deterministic, schema-driven document engine for the enterprise business applications.

1

Define Your Data Schema

Connect structured JSON from Dynamics 365, Dataverse or internal systems.

VaultPDF interprets your schema — not static layout rules.

2

Configure Your Template Rules

Map fields, set hierarchy, and define layout constraints.

Deterministic structure with intelligent overflow handling.

3

Render & Secure Staging

Generate schema-aware documents via your private SharePoint staging vault.

  • Zero-Egress Execution: Data stays within your tenant boundaries during the entire rendering lifecycle.
  • Adaptive Overflow: Columns and complex nested data reposition into structured sub-rows automatically.
  • Immutable Audit: Raw JSON payloads are preserved alongside the PDF for ironclad traceability.
4

Automated Governance

Native Entra ID integration for absolute document control.

  • Dynamic Access Control: Optionally restrict document visibility to specific owners at the item level.
  • Metadata Stamping: Fully indexed SharePoint columns enable instant search and Power Automate triggers.
  • Full Data Residency: Run 100% inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant.

No brittle templates. No runtime surprises. Just structured documents.

Time to Value

Go Live Today. Not in 6 Months.

Built entirely on Azure, SharePoint, Dataverse, and Microsoft Entra ID. VaultPDF deploys inside the Microsoft infrastructure your organization already owns and operates.

Why VaultPDF deploys differently

Rather than introducing new infrastructure, VaultPDF provisions everything it needs directly inside your existing Azure, SharePoint, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 environment. Your IT and security teams can evaluate, approve, and trust it on day one, because it runs inside boundaries they already control.

No new database

Uses your existing Dataverse and SharePoint

No portal to host

Lifecycle Workspace is a native SharePoint extension

No identity system

Permissions inherit from your Microsoft Entra ID tenant

Four Steps. One Working Session.

01

Provision Storage

SharePoint libraries and configuration are created automatically during Dispatcher deployment.

02

Deploy Cloud Services

Dispatcher and Processor are deployed directly into your Azure subscription. No vendor-managed servers.

03

Initialize Solutions

Templates, field mappings, and integrations for Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and SharePoint are loaded and ready.

04

Generate & Verify

Generate your first document and open the Lifecycle Workspace with full audit visibility, starting on day one.

Designed for Rapid Adoption

Everything you need to go live. No pre-work required.

VaultPDF includes pre-configured templates, field mappings, and integration packs for supported Microsoft business applications. Most organizations begin with the included templates and mappings, then tailor branding, document layouts, and workflow rules to match their processes.

  • Pre-configured templates and field mappings included
  • No database provisioning. Uses your existing Dataverse and SharePoint.
  • No portal to build or host. Lifecycle Workspace included.
  • Security enforced by your existing Microsoft Entra ID and SharePoint permissions
  • Works with Dynamics 365, Power Platform, SharePoint, and custom applications

Your first document should be generated on day one. Refinement and optimisation can happen over time.

Can VaultPDF run in regulated or government environments?

VaultPDF can operate in environments where Azure Functions and SharePoint Online are supported, including regulated deployments where tenant-bound processing is required.

Why is VaultPDF different from other PDF generation services?

VaultPDF runs entirely inside your Microsoft tenant and uses a deterministic rendering engine designed for PDF generation for enterprise applications. Unlike hosted document services, VaultPDF keeps documents, templates, and processing within your environment, ensuring full control over security, compliance, and data residency.
