Document conversion activity

Use the Document conversion activity to apply all the document conversion/normalization parameters configured in the document conversion profiles to any document independent of the source of import. The document conversion is supported in synchronous and asynchronous maps.

If you use Microsoft Office applications for document conversion in the Document Converter, the conversion process can only run on one system at a time and the conversions of documents cannot be done in parallel.

You can use the Document conversion activity to do the following:

  • Use the Document conversion activity for document conversion and the Image processing activity for eVRS image processing.

  • Normalize images. You can then create pages for the images.

  • Address issues such as scaling and orientation and then use any Capture activities in your process map.

  • Convert documents (MSG, EML, MS Office documents, CSV, TXT, LOG, RTF, XPS, OpenOffice, HTML, MIME HTML (MHT), VCF) to PDF.

    This activity does not support converting image files (GIF, JPEG, PNG, HEIF, HEIC, BMP, JFIF) to PDF. In such cases, use the PDF generation activity.

  • Convert password-protected PDF documents to PDF, TIFF, or PDF/A.

    This activity does not support converting password-protected PDF Portfolio and ZIP files.

  • Convert images (GIF, JPEG, PNG, HEIF, HEIC, BMP, JFIF) to TIFF.
