Document conversion activity

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

  • The document conversion is supported in synchronous and asynchronous maps.

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

  • Use the Document conversion activity to normalize images and then create pages for the images. You can also address issues such as scaling and orientation in the Document conversion activity and then use any Capture activities in your process map.

  • The Document conversion activity supports converting documents (MSG, EML, MS Office documents, CSV, TXT, LOG, RTF, XPS, OpenOffice, HTML, MIME HTML (MHT)) to PDF, but does not support converting image files (GIF, JPEG, PNG, HEIF, HEIC, BMP, JFIF) to PDF. In such cases, use the PDF generation activity.
