How about some analytics?
Is there any plan in the works to provide statistics for the number of views for documents? Just that basic stat would be helpful, though a full analytics package would be nice too.

It is possible to export search results on documents as a file?
Hi,
I wonder is if there is a way to search across large collection of docs and get answers as export file?1 vote -
Deep-link to annotation without annotation viewer popup
I'm building an inline annotation system for the Chicago Tribune similar to work done by ProPublica (e.g. http://www.propublica.org/article/why-cant-linda-carswell-get-her-husbands-heart-back). After running our system by some users here, I'd like to be able to deep-link directly from the embedded note to the annotated location in the document without the annotation popup displaying. I can somewhat hack around this by linking to the page, but it would be very useful to target the annotation directly.

Let us copy the link as soon as we upload the document. Right now you press upload and have to wait. Wish I could just upload and get a link
It would save time. It's kind of annoying waiting 20 seconds.

search by date uploaded/published
I'd like to search for documents that mention Sarah Palin and were uploaded between June 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011. It seems like we have that information, but can't search by it.

ability to copy document id/slug to clipboard
It might be useful if the document right-click context menu included option for copying the full document ID to the clipboard. (For manual use in external CMS or other tools.)

improve timeline date parsing
In one of the documents in my set, the text 1226-01/01/02 existed. The regex identifying dates seems to have decided that was 1/1/1226 and highlighted just the 1226-01/01. Can we get that parsing tweaked? I'd guess dates probably only have slashes or dashes not both.

Include secure parameter in API result
If I have uploaded a document with the `secure` parameter, it would be nice if it's JSON output included a boolean indicator.

Offer full screen blowout on docs with a sidebar
Currently, we only display the "blowout" option on embedded documents with no sidebar. In some cases, even with a sidebar the option would be useful. Eg. http://www.newschannel5.com/category/208153/radon-results-from-first-rounds-of-tests-inside-metro-schools

Combine documents
Currently, you can insert, rearrange, or delete pages within a document. It would be helpful to be able to combine whole documents.

Text Selection on top of document image
How about doing text selection on top of the page image itself.

Custom sizes for embedding multiple documents
It would be incredibly handy if we could specify the size of the embed box for embedding a list of documents. Right now, the widget does not scale down to the width my website requires, and it ends up cutting off a portion of the text.

More, better API examples
I would love it if the API documentation contained links to a complete source code example or examples of the API being implemented for a particular project.
With a limited (but growing) knowledge of scripting, examples of source code can help me move along implementation of the API much more rapidly.7 votes -
Re-target embed's "Original document link"
Currently, when you click the "Original document link" in the embed, whether you're using the full-page or fixed-size, it takes you to the DocumentCloud s3.amazonaws.com-hosted version of the PDF.
It'd be nice if a document has a "Published URL" property that the "Original document link" took you to that URL rather than the DocumentCloud s3.amazonaws.com one.
One benefit is we could better track viewership as views would be on our hosted page rather than the DocumentCloud hosted one.
Thanks for listening!1 vote -
UTF-8 character support
If I go to the "Text" tab when viewing a document that contains accents (like any French language document), all the accented characters become question marks: "?". This affects the faceting on Analyze > View Entities; cities like "Montréal" show up as "Montr". This is a critical issue for my jurisdiction (Quebec), where the official language is French.
I know Solr can be configured to handle these characters - I don't know if you're using another library for text extraction before sending it to Solr.

Add / combine entities
It would be great to be able to "teach" about entities that I know are in the documents, but that aren't recognized or are split.
I'd like to say, look for this entity called XYZ. I'd also like to "teach" the system that entity ABC is the same as DEF.
Ex: Bank of America is an entity, and it should pick up the full name and variations on the abbreviation.
