The majority of Cobwebb supplied exit programs are CPPD exit programs but we do have a couple of Print and File exit programs as well. The programs can be found in the CPPD library.

Note: If you do not have a current version of the Cobwebb Document Management software then you may not have all of these programs available. Please contact a Cobwebb Consultant and they will probably be able to supply you with the exit program you require.
