DocumentBurster 8.8.8 Released

05 Dec 2022

This new version fixed an annoying issue where the Java runtime (used by DocumentBurster) did not release the log files for one or two minutes after the actual report processing was already finished. The result was that the Clear Logs button was not usable and, as a result, no other report processing could be initialed before Java was releasing the log files. This is now fixed.

The new release also includes the option to generate additional debug information for solving possible email sending difficulties.

Debug Email (produces more debug log messages when sending emails)

DocumentBurster 8.8.5 New Version Available

17 March 2022

With this new version of DocumentBurster the capabilities to configure Delivery Receipt Address and Delivery Receipt Name were graduated from being an ‘Incubating Feature’ and are now ‘Feature Ready for Production’.

Reliable Report Distribution Software


No matter if your organization needs to distribute employee payslips, invoices to customers, student reports or any other enterprise document, DocumentBurster is a reliable software for distributing all these reports automatically.

With the release of DocumentBurster 8.8.5 it is now possible to configure the email address where the Delivery Receipt will be sent along with the previously existing options to configure Reply To and Bounce To Address configurations. Imagine that your company is sending invoices to customers. Wouldn’t you want to be notified when a customer did not receive his invoice? Wouldn’t you want to automate such a scenario so that your organization will get fewer unpaid invoices and will increase revenue with less human effort? This is how Bounce To Address configuration can be used, all bounced emails can be redirected to a specially configured email address for easier management by your employees or, even better, for further automated processing of the bounced invoices.

New Release – DocumentBurster 8.8.4

22 November 2021

With this release the configurations for Read Receipt Address and Read Receipt Name were graduated from being an ‘Incubating Feature’ and are now ‘Feature Ready for Production’.

SSL Exception’ issue is now completely solved

This release includes a couple of fixes, most notable the annoying ‘SSL Exception’ issue happening when the license key is verified is now completely resolved.

In the last couple of weeks there was a Java update and/or SSL certificate update performed by the hosting provider of https://www.pdfburst.com which made the previously working (older) installations of DocumentBurster to fail by throwing an ‘SSL Exception’ when the license key is verified. The DocumentBurster 8.8.1 and newer versions alleviate this problem by making the software more resilient when this exception is coming (only a warning message is logged in DocumentBurster 8.8.1 when ‘SSL Exception’ is happening instead of completely stopping the processing as in the older versions of the software).

DocumentBurster 8.8.4 and newer versions completely solve the problem without any ‘SSL Exception’ error and/or warning message being generated anymore.

DocumentBurster 8.8.0 with Built-in Auto-Update

December 2020

DocumentBurster version 8.8.0 was released today with an easy-to-use (automatic) mechanism to update from previous versions.

This new mechanism helps to (auto) update from older DocumentBurster versions 5, 6, 7 and prior installations of version 8 (it does not work for version 4 and earlier). When pointed to an existing (older) installation folder of DocumentBurster the update flow will identify the existing licensing information, configuration files, scripts and HTML templates and will automatically copy and migrate all files. Until now the DocumentBurster software update was a manual process and this saves the effort to manually reconfigure the software each time when a new version is being released.

How Does It Work

Once you have downloaded the latest version, go to

DocumentBurster.exe -> Help & Support -> Install / Setup / Update -> Update tab


New Version: DocumentBurster 8.4 is now available

Today the new DocumentBurster 8.4 was just released.

Distributing thousands of documents to customers requires to have the confidence that all the documents were reliably sent to the correct recipients. In this new version we added the option to watch in real time, while document distribution is happening, all the logs generated during the bursting process. At the end a new bursting stats section will show on the screen all the details related with the last job processed.

“Real time” logs are displayed while documents are processed.

“Bursting stats” are now displayed at the end of each bursting job.

DocumentBurster 8.2 Is Now Available

December 2017

After announcing DocumentBurster 8.1 in the last couple of weeks we continued our work and DocumentBurster 8.2 is now available for download.

DocumentBurster needs to send documents as reliably as possible and this is why DocumentBurster 8.2 introduces a new and configurable retry policy. Normally report delivery jobs have only one attempt, that is when they fail, they are marked as a failure, and remain that way until you intervene. Since DocumentBurster 8.2 you can now specify a retry policy, which is important for report delivery jobs such as transferring an email, which upon failure, may usually retry without issue.

Now it is also possible to cancel / pause / resume running jobs something which was not straightforward to do in the past.

Here you can read the full press release which announces DocumentBurster 8.2 availability.

New Version 7.3 with SMS capability

January 2016

Happy New Year to all DocumentBurster users!

A new version of DocumentBurster (v7.3) was released recently. Along with various improvements and bug fixes this version also brings a brand new SMS message distribution capability.

Sometime back I run a customer poll with how useful a feature like SMS message distribution would be for DocumentBurster. I was actually surprised by the high number of replies I got asking to put SMS message distribution into DocumentBurster. I am happy to announce it’s now possible to send SMS messages like that to your customers.


Dear $var0$ (Customer Name),
We’ve emailed the $var1$ (June) invoice to $var2$ (customer@emailaddress.com)
Thank You for your business!
Your Name,
Your Company Name


With an average SMS open rate of 99% I can understand why sending SMS messages was such a requested feature. Here it is!
