    Benefits of document conversion running Black Ice Document Converter Server

    The Document Converter service can run under "Administrator" account instead of under a particular user or System Account. This allows the service to continue the document conversion even after the current user logs off in unattended mode.

    How does the Document Converter work?

    The The Document Converter Service installs automatically during the installation. The Document Converter Service Manager utility provides an easy-to-use user interface to manage the document conversion. The Service Manager allows the user to interact and configure the Document Converter Service, which converts the documents in the background.

    Starting the document conversion

    To start converting documents after the installation, start Document Converter Service Manager from the desktop. The green line at the top indicates that the service is installed properly, and ready to convert documents.

    Copy the files that need to be converted into the specified Monitored (Input) directory, and click on Start Conversion button.

    When the Service Manager has started to initiate the conversion, it starts to write the events to the Event log. The successfully converted (output) documents will be moved to the Converted (Output) folder. The successfully processed original documents will be moved to the Processed folder, and the documents that could not be converted will be moved to the Failed folder.

    Document conversion process

    The Document Converter monitors the Monitored directory. When the Document Converter converts a document, the output file will be generated in the Working directory, and once the conversion is finished, the output file will be moved into Converted (Output) directory. If the conversion was successful, the source document goes to Processed directory, otherwise the source document goes to Failed directory. The Working directory will be located under the Processed directory as a subdirectory.

    Using Working directory is optional. Working directory helps users to track the successfully converted documents, excluding the documents under conversion. To disable the Working directory, go to Advanced > Conversion Settings > Uncheck the Use a temporary directory for the converted files option.
