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​

The Conversion Service converts Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files to PDF by default using the Standard Converter. For highest visual fidelity, see Convert Microsoft Office files. To convert Microsoft Word files that include tracked changes (revisions, also called redlining), review Configure conversion of redlined Microsoft Word documents.
