Our Customers Say

Document Library Pro plugin by Barn2. A little over a month ago I purchased this excellent Plugin. We are very pleased with the ease in which we can now upload PDF files back onto our website. We use the plug-in to manage a WWI and WWII Australian Army Veterans Website. Previously we used Memphis Docs and unfortunately lost 6500 files. However, we are now nearly half the way there. The results are a 100% improvement on Memphis Docs. What is impressive is the way we can conduct searches on individual soldier's names, rank and Army numbers or what unit they served. Very fast. The only limitation is that when a file requires updating the process is time consuming.
