ExpressConversion Server is server-based software
that automatically converts files from and to many different
formats, including PDF formats. ExpressConversion Server can stand
alone or can be integrated seamlessly with
existing workflow systems and with
enterprise-level document-management
applications.
|
Hundreds of file formats are supported, including Adobe Illustrator;
Adobe Photoshop; ASCII text and ANSI text;
AutoCad (DWF, DXF, DWG); CGM; HPGL; HTML; Microsoft Word (DOC, DOT, RTF, more);
Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLT, more); Microsoft Publisher (PUB); Text Mail (MIME);
XML/XSL; WordPerfect (WPD, WPS); Lotus (WK1, WK1, WK3, more); WML;
many image formats (BMP, CUR, ICO, DIB, GIF, IMG, JPG/JPEG, more).
(This is only a partial list. Click the "Supported file formats" tab
for more details.)
It is also possible to extract document metadata in XML or CSV format.
|
|
|
Three rendering technologies
File rendering is performed using one of the following
three rendering technologies:
|
- Integrated File Type Support. This is used to
convert plain (ASCII and ANSI) text files, image files,
HPGL files, MSG files, and
PDF files to
PDF, PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, or ZIP format.
Metadata from input document is incorporated into PDF
output, and metadata can be extracted in XML format or
CSV format.
- Native Application Support. This uses the
native application
(the application that created the to-be-converted file)
to render
documents. To use this rendering technology,
the native application
(Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, WordPerfect, etc.)
must be installed on the same computer as ExpressConversion Server.
- Extended File Type Support.
(Requires Extended Output Module,
an add-on to ExpressConversion Server.)
Addition of the Extended Output Module allows
ExpressConversion
Server to convert more than 300 file formats into
PDF, PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, ZIP, DOC, RTF, HTML, JPEG,
PNG, TIFF, or XPS format.
This method ensures
the fastest rendering performance; it does not rely
on native applications.
Facilitates compliance with corporate and governmental regulations
Increasing corporate and governmental regulations have led to growing demand for use
of specific document formats when exchanging and archiving documents.
ExpressConversion Server has special features that facilitate compliance with
such regulations. For example, ExpressConversion Server can create documents in
PDF/A format, which is a format that's required by many corporate and
government regulators.

INPUT FORMATS
ExpressConversion Server itself accepts the following
file formats as input:
|
|
• plain (ASCII and ANSI) text
• image files
• HPGL
|
|
• MSG
• PDF
|
Use of the Extended Output Module allows ExpressConversion
Server to convert many additional input formats
(more than 300 input formats in all).
|
|
|
OUTPUT FORMATS
ExpressConversion Server itself can output the following
file formats:
|
|
• PDF
• PDF/A 1b
• PDF/X
|
|
• TXT
• ZIP
|
Use of the Extended Output Module allows ExpressConversion
Server to output these additional file formats:
|
|
• DOC
• RTF
• HTML
• JPEG
|
|
• PNG
• TIFF
• XPS
|
It is also possible to generate PDF metadata
in XML format or CSV format — with or
without the Extended Output Module.
|
|
|
|
Add the Extended Output Module
so you can support hundreds of file formats.
|
|
|
The Extended Output Module enables
support for hundreds of input formats, and it also
enables support for the following output formats:
DOC, RTF, HTML, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and XPS
in addition to the output formats that can be generated without using the Extended Output Module:
PDF, PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, and ZIP.
|
|
|
|
Further automate your workflow with
ExpressPublishing Server and ExpressRecognition Server.
|
|
|
|
ExpressPublishing Server.
This automates PDF
manipulation and enhancement. A document can be assembled
from multiple documents. Tables of contents, bookmarks,
and indexes can be modified; information can be added
(page headers & footers, watermarks,
page numbers/Bates numbers, etc.); individual pages or
page ranges can be extracted. ExpressPublishing Server
can work in conjunction with ExpressConversion Server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExpressRecognition Server.
ExpressRecognition Server is server-based OCR software that automatically
converts images, paper documents, and faxes into editable and searchable
electronic files such as PDF files or text files. ExpressRecognition Server
can perform OCR on specific regions of a page (a process known as "Zonal OCR")
and extract the recognized data into XML files for further analysis.

ExpressConversion Server offers the following capabilities:
|
Unlimited conversions.
Flexible server-based licensing model allows for unlimited
document conversions on a single server. The only limits
are server performance and network performance.
Hot folders/watched folders.
Rapid deployment and simple integration with existing
document-management systems. Loose coupling between systems
increases the resilience of the overall workflow.
Command-line integration.
Program start, auto stop, etc.
E-mail integration.
Connect users and systems using your existing e-mail
infrastructure. Users simply e-mail a file as an e-mail
attachment to ExpressConversion Server — the PDF file
generated by ExpressConversion Server is returned to the sender.
Web-Services integration.
SOAP-compliant messaging, load balancing, job management,
and reporting.
Integrated scripting support.
Gain complete control over the document workflow with
integrated VB and JavaScript. Execute scripts at different
"event triggers" to add control logic and provide customized
operations to the document-transformation and document-delivery process.
Scheduling.
Days of the week, start/stop times.
Page/content scaling.
Scale page size or page content to ensure compliance
with enterprise requirements or regulatory requirements.

Fault monitoring and recovery.
Fault Monitoring and Recovery (FMR) Windows Service monitors server performance to maximize
up-time. Corrupted documents are handled gracefully so that
document workflows are not interrupted.
Comprehensive file-type support.
Supports over 300 input-file formats for conversion into PDF,
PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, ZIP, DOC, RTF, HTML, JPEG, PNG,
TIFF, or XPS format.
Metadata support.
Metadata from input document is incorporated
into PDF output format.
Metadata can be extracted from PDF file
in XML format or CSV format.
XML job ticket support.
Tailor each document conversion to meet the requirements of
your workflow by creating an XML job ticket
(an XML-based instruction file). The XML job ticket contains
processing instructions for ExpressConversion Server, including:
- source documents
- conversion settings
- document-delivery options
Job Ticket Templates (partial XML job tickets) contain
repeatable instructions referenced from main job tickets.
PDF downgrading.
Convert PDF files to the PDF 1.4 spec to comply with process
requirements or
regulatory requirements (e.g. FDA requires all PDFs to be
at the 1.4 spec).

to PDFs ensures that maximize value is extracted from image-based
documents. The ExpressRecognition Server software can even
be configured to automatically convert any document type
that is not already searchable to PDF.
Multi-lingual recognition.
Recognizes 119 languages, using 17 Language Dictionaries to
ensure the highest possible accuracy.
Optimization for accuracy or speed.
The OCR process can be optimized for either accuracy or speed
to support the requirements of different kinds of
document workflows.
Image pre-processing.
De-skew and De-speckle are settings that can
be used to optimize the accuracy of the OCR process.
De-skew automatically straightens the document, while
de-speckle removes black dots.
Advanced error handling.
Documents that exceed a time threshold or error threshold
can be identified
and optionally routed to an error folder.
Data extraction.
ExpressRecognition Server can be configured to output
recognized text in both XML and CSV formats.
Bar code recognition.
The Bar Code Recognition Module is an add-on that augments
ExpressRecognition Server's functionality by adding
support for both 1D (one-dimensional) and
2D (two-dimensional) bar codes.
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR).
The Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) Module is an add-on
that adds support for
recognizing optical marks (check boxes) on forms and turning
them into meaningful data.
