Changes in behavior since KCM 5.7.0

Default semantics of DocToPDF.Processor=Rendition in dp.ini

Starting with KCM 5.7.0, the DocToPDF.Processor=Rendition in dpi.ini only applies to DOCX documents.

The default value for the Processor parameter depends on the format of the Src document:

  1. For DOCX files, the default processor depends on what is specified in the DocToPDF.Processor setting of the dp.ini file. If nothing is specified there, the default processor is Rendition.
  2. For DOC files, the default processor is Word.

In earlier releases, specifying Rendition as the default would cause an error to be raised for DOC documents, because Rendition does not support these.

CAUTION:
If you set the Processor parameter to Rendition in the DocToPDF command, when you try to convert a DOC document, an error will occur.

Default value of the PDFA parameter

Starting with KCM 5.7.0, the default value of the ProducePDFA parameter is True. If you do not want to generate PDF/A documents by default, specify the following in the Configuration section of the dp.ini:

DocToPDF.ExportPDFA=N

Title property of the PDF document

This only applies to Rendition-produced output.

Starting from KCM 5.7.0, the title of the generated PDF document is set to the title that is specified in the Word document.

If the title is not specified in the input document, KCM Core defaults to the approach used in earlier versions: the title of the generated PDF document is set to the filename of the output document without path or extension.
