Configure the Conversion Service

To get up and running with the Conversion Service, you need to configure:

  • Service
  • Profiles
  • Office conversion

Configuring the service​

You can configure the service itself in two ways depending on your installation:

  • Configurator: a program added to the Windows Start menu during installation lets you determine the service's configuration using an easy interface.
  • Environmental values: if you are using a Docker container, you pass environmental values at startup.

Configuring profiles​

A profile defines the options and settings used for pre-defined workflows. To change the options associated with a profile, you need to configure profiles.

Configuring Office conversion​

If you plan to convert Microsoft Office files, configure your Microsoft Office installation. To convert Microsoft Word files that include tracked changes (revisions, also called redlining), review Configure conversion of redlined Microsoft Word documents.

caution

To convert Microsoft Office files, a valid license is required.
