At the end of last week, we released version 5.2 of Document Converter for SharePoint, which ships with an improved version of our popular PDF conversion engine. Today, we’re releasing an update to the standalone version of Document Converter Services, which includes the ability to convert MSG (email) files and output them in PDF/A format.
The list of new features and improvements is considerable, but the main ones are as follows:
-
Support for the 64-bit version of Office 2010
A quick introduction for those not familiar with the product: Document Converter Services is an on-premises server-based SDK that allows software developers to convert typical Office files to PDF format using a robust, scalable web services interface from Java and .NET-based solutions. It supports a large number of file types, including MS Office and ODF file formats, as well as HTML, MSG (email), AutoCAD, and image-based files, and is used by some of the largest organizations in the world for mission-critical document conversions. In addition to converting documents, the product ships with a sophisticated watermarking engine, PDF splitting and merging facilities, and the ability to secure PDF files. A separate SharePoint-specific version is available as well.
