Document Assistant is a Java applet

In previous releases, the Document Assistant was an ActiveX plugin.

In 8.0, the Document Assistant is a Java applet. As such, it no longer strictly requires Microsoft Internet Explorer. The user web client must have Java installed. For the list of supported browsers, Java versions, and operating systems, visit the Guidewire Community search for knowledge article 1005, “Supported Software Components”.

It is no longer necessary to make PCF edits to the file NewTemplateDocumentDV.pcf when enabling or disabling the Document Assistant.
