Introduction

In today’s business environment there is a tremendous need for companies to convert business content to

PDF, PDF/A and/or image formats like TIFF, PNG or JPEG. This is apparent by the many requests

programmers and IT professionals receive from managers in industries that range from the legal field to

the financial and insurance fields. We realized this more than a decade ago and that is when we began to

work on the suite of software products that are offered by Neevia Technology. We understand that we live

in a PDF world and we set out to create an application that would change the way people view share and

work with e-documents.

Neevia Document Converter is a software product that dynamically converts HTML, Microsoft Office 2007,

2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 365, 2022, Open Office, Libre Office, WordPerfect, PostScript and many other

document types into PostScript, PDF, PDF/A, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PCX, EPS and BMP. It operates in both a batch

mode via directory or email scanning and in direct mode via a COM component.

Document Converter Pro is easy to install and is used by companies in the legal, pharmaceutical, insurance,

banking and many other areas that generate large volumes of documents. The goal of Document Converter

Pro is to help your company create one PDF/Image standard that can be integrated into your workflow with

ease and affordability.

System Requirements

• Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022 – 32 and 64bit.

• At least 100 MBytes of free disk space;

• Memory requirement: min 512MB - heavily dependent on the nature of the job being converted.

Installing and Uninstalling Document Converter Pro

Before installing and/or using this product, please make sure you carefully read the copyright notice and

agree to all of its terms. If you have any questions about the licensing agreement, please feel free to call or

email [email protected]

in our sales department.

To install Document Converter Pro:

download and save the https://neevia.com/download/dcpro

file to your hard disk. After downloading the

file, double-click it and follow the instructions. The installation procedure automatically detects your

operating system, copies the needed files to your system directory and installs Document Converter Pro in

your system.

NOTE: You must be logged in with an account that has local administrator rights to install Document

Converter Pro.

Unattended installation

To perform an unattended (silent) installation launch Document Converter Pro installer with /sp /verysilent

/norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:

/SP

Disables the "This will install... Do you wish to continue?" prompt at the beginning of Setup.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background

window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this

installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error

messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with

'/SP-' command line option explained above). If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART'

command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a “Reboot now?” dialog. If it's very

silent it will reboot without asking.

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and

ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT.

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory wizard page. A

fully qualified pathname must be specified.

/GROUP="folder name"

Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

/user="username", /company="company name", /serial="serial number"

Use these switches to pass the registration info (username, company name and serial number) to the

installer.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 11 of 78

To remove Neevia Document Converter Pro from your system:

1. Select Settings -> Control Panel from the Start menu.

2. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove Programs and select Document Converter Pro from the list.

3. Click the Add/Remove button to remove the program.

4. A confirmation prompt is displayed.

NOTE: In some circumstances the uninstaller may be unable to remove the Neevia Converter printer from

the Windows printing system. If this happens, you should reboot your computer and uninstall again.

Unattended uninstall

To perform an unattended (silent) uninstall, launch unins000.exe from the folder where Document

Converter Pro has been installed with /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of

supported switches:

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message

stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically

without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT'

is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed. If a restart is necessary and the

'/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstaller will

reboot without asking.

/NORESTART

Instructs the uninstaller not to reboot even if it's necessary

Registering Neevia Document Converter Pro

To register Neevia Document Converter Pro, launch it, then in the main Document Converter window click

Help -> About -> Register. Enter the user name, company name and registration key that have been emailed

to you after purchase and press the OK button.

Make sure you enter the licensing info exactly as shown in the registration email message –

registration key is case sensitive and user name / company name dependent. In some cases you may

need to right click on dconverter.exe and select Run as administrator then register.

different conversion parameters for each input folder DC Pro watches. To modify parsers when this feature

is enabled click Settings -> Folders -> double click on Folder to Scan -> Document Parsers tab -> select your

parser. Folder specific configuration is enabled by default.

To disable it, in the main DC Pro interface click Settings -> Advanced and uncheck Folder-specific

Input/Output Folders

it up, converts it to the specified output format then moves it to the output folder.

To define additional input/output folders in the main Document Converter screen menu select: Settings-

>Folders … The following screen will be displayed:

In the screen above you have a list of all input folders currently defined. On the bottom of the screen

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 16 of 78

When you select Add Folder or Edit Folder the following screen is displayed:

General Settings tab

Folder to scan - This is the path to the folder that Document Converter will scan for documents. You

cannot change this folder once it has been entered. If you need to do that, you will need to add a new

folder and delete the old one. Network paths (UNC names) are fully supported.

The Process Subfolders checkbox allows the user to have Document Converter process files in all the

subfolders that may exist in Folder to scan. In case you do not want subfolders to remain in the input

folder after processing check Delete empty subfolders.

If you’d like the converter to process all files in the input folder (unsupported formats will be

automatically moved to the Error folder) you need to check Process all files in the input folder.

Destination folder – this is the folder where converted files should be placed.

Destination folder cannot be the same as Folder to scan. If the "Copy Folder to scan" checkbox is

selected, Document Converter will recreate the Folder to scan subfolder structure in the Destination

folder and will place the processed files in the corresponding subfolder. Should you like to keep the

original file extension please check Keep original file extension in the output file name. The

converted filename for, let’s say, an Excel document will be in this case filename.xls.pdf.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 17 of 78

Error folder - the folder where documents that cannot be converted should be placed.

This folder cannot be the same name as Folder to scan. If you do not specify a path, the documents

that cannot be converted will be deleted.

Folder for original files - the folder where original documents should be placed.

This cannot be the same name as Folder to scan. If you don’t specify a path, original documents will

be deleted.

Output Format - use this to select the output format. It can be PostScript, PDF, PDF/A, JPEG, TIFF, TIFF

fax optimized, PNG, PCX, PCL-XL, BMP, EPS, Printer or Send via Fax.

neeviaPDF addins - when clicked it allows you to enable the PDFcompress and/or PDFsign addins.

These products must be installed on the same machine with Document Converter otherwise you will

not be able to configure them. You can use them to compress and/or apply an electronic signature

after the PDF conversion process is done.

Scripting tab

Scripting Language - select the language you want to use for your scriptlet - VBS/JS.

Script timeout - the timeout for script execution in milliseconds.

Script to execute - enter the full path to the VBScript or JScript scriptlet you want to have executed

before/after conversion.

Allow script to interact with desktop - check this option to allow your script to interact with desktop

(display MessageBoxes etc).

Note: Please read the section entitled Scripting

for more information.

Advanced Settings tab

Here you can specify the file processing order. By default Document Converter will process files the way

they are listed by the operating system. In case you want to change that please select by creation date or

in alphabetical order. For multiple input folders you can specify the number of files that Document

Converter should process from each input folder at a time. The default number is 5.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 20 of 78

PDF Overlay

You can use this option to specify an existing PDF file to be used as overlay (stationery).

Click Browse to select the PDF file you would like to use as overlay. If multiple pages exist you can specify which

page to be imported.

Scale - allows you to scale the PDF overlay. A scale of 50% makes the PDF overlay half of the original PDF size,

After you finished with the above settings you can select:

Position - defines the measurement Units (Points, Inches, Centimeters or Millimeters), Rotation angle, Stamp

placement (as stamp: over the page content or watermark: under the page content) and the X, Y

coordinates. For the X coordinate you can use as values, not only numbers but center, left and right -

this will position the watermark in the center of the page, on the left or right side. For Y you have

center, top and bottom which will place the watermark in the center of the page on top or in the

bottom. To position your watermark on the right lower corner use X=right and Y=bottom.

Place On - specifies the pages to stamp. Check "All pages" to place the stamp on all pages in the PDF file or "Pages"

to specify the page numbers.

Opacity - specifies how transparent the stamp should be. A value of 100 means that the stamp is completely

opaque, while a value of 0 means that the stamp is invisible.

PDF Actions - specifies how the stamp should behave: as hyperlink or as link to a page.

Miscellaneous - specifies the page CropBox to position the stamp and/or use the page rotation parameter. The

latter specifies the number of degrees by which the page should be rotated clockwise when

displayed or printed.

In order to see the stamp position, click the Refresh Preview button on the right-hand side. This is also valid

when you edit an existing stamp which can be done by clicking Edit stamp in the Stamps window.

Once you finished defining a stamp you can save it into a file that contains all the settings you selected. To

Job Options:

For your convenience there are several sets of predefined settings for creating PDF files. These settings

are designed to balance file size with quality, depending on how the PDF file is to be used:

• Default job option - is intended to be useful across a wide variety of uses, possibly at the expense of a

larger output file. All color and grayscale images are downsampled at 72 dpi, monochrome images at 300

dpi; subsets of all fonts used in the file are embedded; and all information is compressed. PDF files created

using the Default job option are compatible with Acrobat 4.0 (and later).

• Screen job option - intended for PDF files that will be displayed on the World Wide Web or an intranet,

or that will be distributed through an e-mail system for on-screen viewing. This set of options uses

compression, downsampling, and a relatively low resolution; converts all colors to RGB; maintains

compatibility with Acrobat 3.0; to create a PDF file that is as small as possible. It also optimizes files for byte

serving (fast web view).

• Printer job option – to be used for PDF files that are intended for desktop printers, digital copiers,

publishing on a CD-ROM, or to send to a client as a publishing proof. In this set of options, file size is still

important, but it is not the only objective. This set of options uses compression and downsampling to keep

the file size down, but it also embeds subsets of all fonts used in the file, tags everything for color

management, and prints to a medium resolution to create a reasonably accurate rendition of the original

document.

• Prepress job option - intended for PDF files that will be printed as a high-quality final output to an

imagesetter or, for example, a platesetter. In this case, file size is not a consideration. The objective is to

maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial printer or service bureau will need to print the

document correctly. This set of options downsamples color and grayscale images at 300 dpi, monochrome

images at 1200 dpi, embeds subsets of all fonts used in the file, prints to a higher resolution, and uses other

settings to preserve the maximum amount of information about the original document.

Compatibility

Select the PDF document compatibility level (a.k.a. PDF version).

Auto-Rotate Pages

Auto-Rotate Pages automatically rotates pages based on the orientation of the text. For example, some

pages (such as those containing tables) in a document may require the document to be turned sideways

so it can be read. Choose "None" to disable the Auto-Rotate Pages option. Choose "All" to rotate all

pages in a document based on the orientation of the majority of text. Choose "PageByPage" to rotate

each page based on the direction of text on that page.

Resolution

Here you can define the output document resolution. Usually, a higher resolution setting will result in

a larger but higher quality PDF document, while a lower setting will result in a smaller but lower quality

PDF document. You can enter a value from 72 to 2400.

NOTE: Low resolution is ideal for screen viewing. However, if high-quality paper print or the accurate

control of character position is required, you should choose a resolution of at least 600dpi.

PDF Security

NOTE: All Neevia products enforce the restrictions set by PDF Security (encryption). However, not all third

party products fully support these settings. Recipients using such third party products may be able to bypass

some of the restrictions you have set.

If you press the PDF Security button the following screen will be displayed:

Selecting the Use Security checkbox will turn on the security options and apply them to the resulting PDF

file.

Compatibility drop-down box. There are 5 options:

a. Acrobat 5.0 and later (PDF 1.4) enables 128 bit RC4 encryption;

b. Acrobat 6.0 and later (PDF 1.5) enables 128 bit RC4 encryption;

c. Acrobat 7.0 and later (PDF 1.6) enables 128 bit AES encryption;

d. Acrobat 9.0 and later (PDF 1.7) enables 256 bit AES encryption.

e. Acrobat X and later (PDF 1.7 ext 3) enables 256 bit AES R6 encryption

Encrypt All Document Contents

When you select this option both the document and document metadata will be encrypted. Search engines will

not be able to access the document metadata when this option is used.

Encrypt All Document Contents except Metadata

Valid for Acrobat 6 and later. Only the content of a PDF document will be encrypted. Metadata remains fully

accesible for search engines.

Require a Password to Open the Document

This allows you to set a password for opening the encrypted PDF.

Change Permissions Password

This password prevents users from changing the permission settings. The user can view the file in Acrobat Reader

but must enter the specified Permissions password in order to change the file’s Security and Permissions settings.

Permissions:

Printing Allowed - Specifies the level of printing that users are allowed for the PDF document. Possible values:

None - disables printing.

Low Resolution (150 dpi) - Users can print but the resolution will not be higher than 150-dpi. Each page is

printed as a bitmap image which may cause files to print at a slower speed. To make this option

available set the Compatibility option to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) or later.

High Resolution - Allow users to print at any resolution. PostScript and other printers that come with high-

quality printing features can be used.

Changes Allowed - Enables the editing actions that are allowed in the PDF document. Possible values:

None - when selected none of the changes listed in Changes Allowed drop down box, such as filling in form

fields and adding comments are permitted.

Inserting, Deleting, And Rotating Pages - allows users to insert, delete, and rotate pages. Also bookmarks and

thumbnails creation are permitted. This option works only for high (128-bit RC4, AES or AES256)

encryption.

Filling in Form Fields and Signing Existing Signature Fields - when selected users can fill in forms and add

digital signatures. Adding comments or creating form fields is not permitted. This option works only

for high (128-bit RC4, AES or AES256) encryption.

Commenting, Filling In Form Fields and Signing Existing Signature Fields - users are allowed to add comments,

digital signatures and fill in forms. Moving page objects or create form fields is not permitted.

Page Layout, Filling in Form Fields and Signing - users can insert, rotate or delete pages and create bookmarks

or thumbnail images, fill out forms, and add digital signatures. Creating form fields is not permitted.

This option works only for low (40-bit RC4) encryption.

Any Except Extracting Pages - allows users to edit the document, create and fill in form fields, add comments

and digital signatures.

Enable Copying of Text, Images, and Other Content - allows users to select and copy the contents of a PDF.

Enable Text Access For Screen Reader Devices For The Visually Impaired - when selected visually impaired users

can read the document with screen readers. It doesn’t allow users to copy or extract the document’s contents.

This option works only for high (128-bit RC4, AES or AES256) encryption.

NOTE: there are programs available to crack the password. The longer the password, the harder it is to

crack. Please consider this when selecting a password.

Page Size

This allows you to select the page size and orientation for the converting documents. In case you would like

to define your own pagesize check Custom Page Size and enter your values for height and width specifying

also the measurement units. Check Scale to scale the page content. Make sure that Constrain proportions

when scaling is checked in case you would like to maintain the original proportions between the new page

dimensions and content.

NOTE: you should keep Page Size on Default if you want to preserve the original document page size

during the PDF conversion process.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 26 of 78

Compression Tab

Document Converter Pro allows the compression of images (bitmaps), text, and graphics (line art).

ReSampling also provides a further reduction of very large or high-resolution images.

Since the effectiveness of compression is highly data dependent, for the best result, you might want to try

different compression settings for different kinds of data sources.

For color or grayscale images, choose ZIP to apply the compression that works well on images with large

areas of single colors or repeating patterns, such as screen shots, simple images created with paint

programs, and black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Choose JPEG, quality minimum to

maximum, to apply the compression that is suitable for grayscale or color images, such as continuous-tone

photographs that contain more detail than can be reproduced on-screen or in print. Choose Automatic to

determine automatically the best quality for color and grayscale images.

NOTE: For monochrome images, choose CCITT or ZIP compression. Make sure that monochrome images are

scanned as monochrome and not as grayscale. Scanned text is sometimes saved as grayscale images by

default. Grayscale text compressed with the JPEG compression method is “muddy” at best and may be

unreadable.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 27 of 78

Resample

To resample color, grayscale, or monochrome images, Document Converter Pro combines pixels in a sample

area to make one larger pixel. You provide the resolution of your output device in dots per inch (dpi) and

select the resample algorithm:

Average Downsample – this algorithm averages the pixels in a sample area and replaces the entire area with

the average pixel color at the specified resolution.

Subsample – this algorithm chooses a pixel in the center of the sample area and replaces the entire area with

that pixel at the specified resolution. Subsample significantly reduces the conversion time compared with

downsampling but results in images that are less smooth and continuous.

Bicubic Downsample – this algorithm uses a weighted average to determine pixel color and usually yields

better results than the simple averaging method of downsampling. Bicubic is the slowest but most precise

method, resulting in the smoothest tonal gradations.

NOTE: Resampling monochrome images can have unexpected viewing results, such as no image

display. If this happens, turn off resampling and convert the file again. This problem is most likely to

occur with subsample and least likely with bicubic downsample.

Fonts Tab

Under the Fonts tab you can enable or disable embedding fonts in the resulting PDF file.

Select Subset embedded font option to include only those characters of a font that are used in the PDF

document, to reduce document size. A "threshold" is specified to tell if font-subset is necessary. If the

percentage of used characters (compare with total characters of the particular font) exceeds this threshold,

the entire font is embedded.

Color Tab

Process Color Model Device RGB

Sets the color space to use for device-dependent colors in the output document to DeviceRGB.

NOTE: this does not affect images and shadings.

Process Color Model Device CMYK

Sets the color space to use for device-dependent colors in the output document to DeviceCMYK.

NOTE: this does not affect images and shadings.

Process Color Model Device Gray

Sets the color space to use for device-dependent colors in the output document to DeviceGray.

NOTE: this does not affect images and shadings.

Leave Unchanged

Enabling this option will force Document Converter to preserve the color model in the original document.

Device-dependent Options

Choose any of these options only if you are working with documents created by high-end documentation and

graphics applications, such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. For more information, see the

documentation that came with the application.

"Preserve overprint settings" retains any overprint settings in files being converted to PDF. Overprinted

colors are two or more inks printed on top of each other. For example, when a cyan ink prints over a yellow

ink, the resulting overprint is a green color. Without overprinting, the underlying yellow would not be printed,

resulting in a cyan color.

Transfer functions are used for artistic effect and to correct for the characteristics of a specific output device.

For example, a file that is intended for output on a particular imagesetter may contain transfer functions that

compensate for the dot gain inherent with that printer.

"Preserve under color removal and black generation" retains these settings if they exist in the PostScript

file. Black generation calculates the amount of black to be used when trying to reproduce a particular color.

Undercolor removal (UCR) reduces the amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow components to compensate for

the amount of black that was added by the black generation. Because it uses less ink, UCR is generally used

for newsprint and uncoated stock.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 30 of 78

"Preserve Transfer Functions" retains the transfer functions traditionally used to compensate for dot gain or

dot loss that may occur when an image is transferred to film. Dot gain occurs when the ink dots that make

up a printed image are larger (for example, due to spreading on paper) than in the halftone screen; dot loss

occurs when the dots print smaller. With this option, the transfer functions are kept as part of the file, and

are applied to the file when the file is output.

"Preserve halftone information" retains any halftone information in files. Halftone information consists of

dots that control how much ink is deposited by halftone devices at a specific location on the paper. Varying

the dot size and density creates the illusion of variations of gray or continuous color. For a CMYK image, four

halftone screens are used: one for each ink used in the printing process. In traditional print production, a

halftone is produced by placing a halftone screen between a piece of film and the image and then exposing

the film. Electronic equivalents, such as in Adobe Photoshop, let users specify the halftone screen attributes

before producing the film or paper output. Halftone information is intended for use with a particular output

device.

PDF Open Options tab

The PDF Open options tab controls how PDF files appear when opened.

Navigation Tab - specifies which panels are displayed in the PDF viewer navigation pane.

Page Layout - specifies how document pages are arranged.

Magnification - use this to select at what zoom level PDF documents will appear when opened.

Open To Page - specifies the page that appears when the PDF document opens.

User Interface Options

This allows you to specify which parts of the PDF viewer interface - menu bar, toolbars, window controls – can be

hidden.

Window Options

Use these options to specify how the PDF viewer window adjusts in the screen area when a PDF document is

opened:

Resize Window To Initial Page - adjusts the document window to fit snugly around the opening page, taking

into account the options that you selected under Document Options.

Center Window On Screen - instructs the PDF viewer to position the window in the center of the screen area.

Open In Full Screen Mode - maximizes the document window and displays the document without the menu

bar, toolbar, or window controls.

NOTE: take into account that if you hide the menu bar and toolbars users cannot apply commands and

select tools unless they know the keyboard shortcuts.

PDF/A Output Format

PDF/A was initially defined as a subset of PDF 1.4 and is mainly used for long-term archiving purposes.

Document Converter Pro can create PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-3b, PDF/A-2u and PDF/A-3u documents.

These formats ensure a reliable reproduction of the visual appearance of the original file.

PDF/A-1b standard requires that resulting files must include embedded fonts, device-independent color

and XMP metadata. This means that encryption, LZW compression, embedded files, external content

references, transparency, multimedia and JavaScript are prohibited.

PDF/A-2b was defined as a constrained form of PDF version 1.7. As far as compression goes, JPEG2000 is

now fully supported.

PDF/A-3b is mostly about visual integrity meaning that the output PDF displays consistently.

PDF/A-2u is the same level of conformance as 2b but has an additional requirement: all text must have

Unicode mapping.

PDF/A-3u makes sure that the Unicode text is searchable and can be copied.

JPEG Output Format

If you select JPEG as output format and press the "Advanced…" button the following screen will be

displayed:

General Settings Tab

Resolution - sets the JPEG resolution.

Colorspace - allows you to select color space in the output document: RGB, CMYK and Grayscale.

Filename suffix

Since the jpeg format doesn’t support multi-page files, when converting documents that have more than 1

page, Document Converter will produce a jpeg file for each page of the original document. The filename suffix

allows you to control how the single page files will be named - if you set %d the converter will add the page

number to the file name. You can also control the number of digits used in the file name by replacing %d with

%0Nd where N is the number of digits you want to have, for example %03d will force Document Converter to

produce files with names like this: 'filename001.jpg', ... , 'filename010.jpg', ... %04d will produce:

'filename0001.jpg', ... , 'filename0010.jpg', ...

JPEG Quality - sets the output quality level according to the widely used IJG quality scale, which balances the

extent of compression against the fidelity of the image when reconstituted. Lower values drop more

information from the image to achieve higher compression, and therefore have lower quality when

reconstituted.

Advanced Settings Tab

Text antialiasing/Graphics antialiasing

These options control the use of subsample antialiasing. Their use is highly recommended for producing high

quality rasterizations. The subsampling box size should be 4 bits for optimum output, but smaller values can be

used for faster rendering. Antialiasing is enabled separately for text and graphics content. Allowed values are

None, 1 bit, 2 bits or 4 bits.

Neevia Document Converter Pro v7.6 user’s guide

Page 35 of 78

Note that because of the way antialiasing blends the edges of shapes into the background when they are drawn

some files that rely on joining separate filled polygons together to cover an area may not render as expected

with Graphics antialiasing at 2 or 4 bits. If you encounter strange lines within solid areas, try rendering that file

again with Graphic antialiasing at 1 bit.

Image interpolation

Select “On” to enable image interpolation for all images, improving image quality for scaled images at the

expense of speed.

Well Tempered Screening

If “On”, then the Well Tempered Screening algorithm is used for halftoning. Otherwise, a rational tangent

algorithm is chosen, which will typically result in significant differences between the screen angle and the ruling

requested, and actually rendered. Currently, the performance of WTS is reasonably good when rendering to a

full page buffer, but not optimized for banded mode.

Use CIE color space

Select “On” to remap the device-dependent color values through a CIE color space. This can improve the

conversion of CMYK documents to RGB.

TIFF General Settings Tab

Create multipage TIFF - when selected the resulting tiff will contain as many pages as the original input file.

Filename suffix

If the "Create multipage file" checkbox is not checked, when converting documents that have more than 1 page,

Document Converter will produce a tiff file for each page in the original document. The filename suffix allows

you to control how the single page files will be named - if you set %d Document Converter will add the page

number to the file name. You can also control the number of digits used in the file name by replacing %d with

%0Nd where N is the number of digits you want to have, for example %03d will force Document Converter to

produce files with names like this: 'filename001.tif', ... , 'filename010.tif', ... %04d will produce:

'filename0001.tif', ... , 'filename0010.tif', ...

Resolution - sets the TIFF resolution.

Colorspace - selects the number of colors in the output document.

Compression - sets the tiff compression algorithm. Note that G3 with EOLs, G3 with no EOLs, G3 2D fax

compression and G4 fax compression can only be set for Grayscale documents.

If you select Add or Edit parser the following screen is displayed:

Parser ID - A unique identifier for the document parser. Cannot be changed once entered (don’t use built-

in IDs: PSPDF, WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, IMAGE/OCR, HTML).

Use Shell Print - Specifies if the new parser will use the windows shell print capability.

Description - Document parser description – for example Parser for extension xyz.

Simultaneous Threads - The number of simultaneous conversions this parser will support. Please note that

not all applications support concurrent thread execution or that performance

with multiple threads is poor.

Thread Timeout - Document parser thread timeout. Enter -1 to disable the timeout option.

Parser Data - The command line for the document parser. You can use the following variables: #inFolder#

- for document input folder, #outFolder# - for output folder, #fullFileName# - for the full file

name (including file extension) of the input document, #fileName# - for the file name

(without file extension) of the input document, #outFormat# - for output document format

(ex. ps, PDF, jpg, tif, bmp, png, pcx).

Ex: if you have an application gif2jpeg.exe that converts jpeg files to bmp format and would like to create

a new document parser based on this application then the "Parser Data:" field should look like this:

c:\converters\gif2jpeg.exe #inFolder##fullFileName# #outFolder##fileName#.jpg

and you will be able to select it as a parser for HTML documents. It will be faster than IE because

the conversion is done in one step HTML -> PDF without involving the print spooler.

3. Microsoft Edge: to use this parser first you need make sure that MS Edge (i.e. the web browser) is

installed on the same machine with Document Converter Pro. Once done, restart the converter

and you will be able to select it as a parser for HTML documents. It will be faster than IE because

Clustering

Document Converter supports failover and high-performance clustering. This means you can point several

converters installed on different computers to the same input folder and increase the conversion

performance.

To enable clustering support in Document Converter go Settings->Advanced and check the "Clustering

Mode" checkbox.

Deployment scenario

2-node conversion cluster

Let’s say that you have 2 servers - serverA and serverB and the input/output folders will reside on serverA.

On serverA:

1. create 4 new folders – C:\Docs\In\, C:\Docs\Out\, C:\Docs\Error\ and C:\Docs\Orig\. Share the In, Out,

Error and Orig subfolders as \\serverA\in\, \\serverA\out\, \\serverA\error\ and \\serverA\orig\

respectively.

2. install Document Converter Pro and enable clustering support (Settings->Advanced, check the "Enable

Clustering" checkbox);

3. define the input folder – in Document Converter go Settings->Folders, press the Add folder button and

specify \\serverA\in\ as Folder to scan, \\serverA\out\ as Destination folder, \\serverA\error\ as Error

folder and \\serverA\orig\ as Folder for original files.

On serverB:

1. install Document Converter and enable clustering support (Settings->Advanced, check the "Enable

Clustering" checkbox);

2. define the input folder – in Document Converter go Settings->Folders, press Add folder and specify

\\serverA\in\ as Folder to scan, \\serverA\out\ as Destination folder, \\serverA\error\ as Error folder

and \\serverA\orig\ as Folder for original files.

Note: to avoid connection problems make sure that you use UNC names instead of mapped folders

when adding remote folders into the main Folder to scan interface.

Conversion performance

Using the configuration described above we were able to achieve a 15%-45% performance increase

compared to a single server configuration.

Server configuration:

CPU: AMD FX 8350 4 GHz

RAM: 64 GB

SSD: 1 TB SATA

OS: Windows Server 2019 R2

Scripting

Neevia Document Converter supports scripting before/after document conversion and on errors. You can

use any scripting language you like (and can even mix and match between folders). The following

procedures have to be used depending on your scripting language:

VBScript:

Sub onBeginConversion(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

This procedure is called after the document type has been established and before the conversion begins

End Sub

Sub onConverted(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

This procedure is called after the document was successfully converted

End Sub

Sub onError(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

This procedure is called if an error is raised while converting the document

End Sub

JScript:

function onBeginConversion(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

{

This procedure is called after the document type has been established and before the conversion begins

}

function onConverted(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

{

This procedure is called after the document was successfully converted

}

function onError(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

{

This procedure is called if an error is raised while converting the document

}

Example

Create a file c:\test.vbs with the following content:

Sub onConverted(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

MsgBox "Your "& filename &" file was successfully converted!!!"

End Sub

Sub onError(fileName, docParser, inFolder, outFolder)

MsgBox "There was an error converting "& filename

End Sub

After that, in Document Converter go Settings->Folders, select the input folder you want to use for testing, press

the Edit Settings click the Scripting tab button and specify c:\test.vbs as Script to execute.

Copy several files into the input folder!

Launching Document Converter as a Windows Service

In order to launch Document Converter as a Windows service the following steps should be followed:

• Make sure that you have Document Converter installed on your computer.

• Launch the converter by doing a right click on dconverter.exe and selecting Run as administrator.

• In the main conversion interface click Settings -> Advanced and check Launch as Windows service

then click Configure.

• Click Browse and select the Administrator account and type in the password. As Startup type

select Automatic.

• If you do not want Document Converter to automatically adjust DCOM permissions for MS Office

parsers uncheck Adjust DCOM settings for MS Office Apps.

• Click OK, go back to the main conversion interface and close Document Converter.

• In Windows open Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> right click on dcStart -> click

Start.

When Document Converter is launched as a Windows service to see what happens during the conversion

process you need to use dcConfig.exe.

For that, in Windows open My Computer or Windows Explorer, navigate to Programs Files ->Neevia.com

DocConverterPro -> and run dcConfig.exe.

NOTE: in order to avoid conversion problems when Document Converter runs as a windows service always

use an account with local admin rights for the dcStart service, preferably the same local admin account

that you were logged on with when you installed the converter. If you decide to use a different account for

dcStart make sure you login with that account and manually open/close each parser. This will create

registry profiles for the new context and prevent applications from displaying popup windows in the

background.
