Extended Document Conversion Capabilities

Business information today is stored and exchanged in a variety of formats. Fenestrae Communication Server supports a wide range of document formats that can be automatically converted into faxable .TIF format. Fenestrae Communication Server also offers a means to add new document conversion utilities; for example special XML formats.

This feature takes advantage of the multi-threading capabilities of the server’s CPU to convert multiple documents simultaneously. As document conversion is a CPU intensive process, this feature further improves the overall performance of your Fenestrae Communication Server installation and prevents document conversion from becoming a performance bottleneck.

Document conversion is the process in which file attachments are converted into a transmittable format. For fax messages, the end result of document conversion is always .TIF.

Fenestrae Communication Server supports conversion on the centralized server of the most common business document formats. File attachments are examined by the Fenestrae Document Conversion Service at the binary level to determine the file type. Depending on the file type and configuration, the actual conversion may be performed in a variety of different ways. In most cases the host program (such as Microsoft Word) is used to print the document to the Fenestrae Conversion Printer; however some file types may be rendered directly into a faxable .TIF format. Conversion is performed in multiple stages when required.
