Converting PDF and XPS Files Inside Document Management Systems

With Power PDF, you can import PDF and XPS files into Convert Assistant from all supported DM systems, as described in Starting from a Document Management System.

Alternatively, when working in three DM systems you can select a single PDF or XPS file inside the DMS, call Convert Assistant, perform the conversion with full control over the process and then save the resulting file to your local file system or back to a location inside the DMS. Resulting files should be inspected and compared to the source before being archived.

Inside Microsoft SharePoint:

For this functionality to be available in SharePoint, it must be configured by an administrator. Guidance on this is given in the Power PDF Advanced Customization Kit Guide.

To create an editable file from a single PDF or XPS file inside SharePoint, select it and choose Open in PDF Convert from its shortcut menu. This item may have a different name because the administrator can change it.

Inside eDOCS:

Use Open in PDF Convert in the shortcut menu of a PDF or XPS file.

Inside iManage WorkSite:

Select a PDF or XPS file and use the Open in PDF Convert menu item from the Kofax PDF menu.

Note

In Worldox, Documentum and DocuShare you cannot open source files directly inside your Document Management System. You have to get the source files from the DMS into Convert Assistant through its Open drop-down list or File Menu. See: Starting from a Document Management System.
