Coming Features¶

Certum Draft is actively developed. Here's what's planned for upcoming releases.

In Development¶

PDF Form Filling¶

Fill PDF form fields automatically with matter data. Perfect for:

Bank account forms (estate matters)
Asset transfer documents
Government and court forms
Standard legal industry forms with fillable fields

PDF forms with named fields will be detected and filled just like Word templates. A field mapping interface will let you connect PDF field names to your matter data.

Status: Research complete, implementation planned

Under Consideration¶

Notion Write Support¶

Currently, Notion integration is read-only for safety. Future versions may allow:

Creating new clients in Notion
Creating new matters in Notion
Syncing matter details back to Notion

Status: Waiting for stability confirmation of read-only mode

Potential integrations with other practice management systems:

Solo Development

Certum Draft is a personal project built for my own practice. Features are prioritised based on my workflow needs, but I'm always interested in hearing what would help other practitioners.
