How does Document Converter handle InfoPath attachments?

Nutrient Document Converter for SharePoint automatically converts (and merges) all files that are attached to an InfoPath form as long as they are part of the views that are being converted.

The conversion of attachments is enabled by default, but can be disabled globally using the Conversion Service’s config file, or on a call-by-call basis when using the Web Services interface.

As it is not possible to merge different file types into MS-Word and Excel documents, attachments are ignored when converting InfoPath forms to file formats other than PDF.

This behavior can be customized as needed. For example, you can store InfoPath attachments as separate attachments within the PDF instead of merging them into the main document.
