Hi Lowell,
Your Edocman version is very old. You can upgrade Joomla to 3.x, but i advise you to purchase latest Edocman version, because your version isn't work well on Joomla 3.x and it contains some potential issue. Once you migrate your site to Joomla 3.x, you can install latest Edocman version to overwrite existing version without any problem and your existing data won't lose.
Thanks
Dam
