2.6.6 Outbound Document Conversion 

2.6.6.1  What is Document Conversion? 
Document conversion is the process by which the fax server takes your cover sheet plus any

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

attachments and converts them into a faxable image format (TIFF). In order to provide this

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

functionality, NET SatisFAXtion requires the cooperation of the application that created that file. 

 

IMPORTANT: When troubleshooting document conversion, always remember to test cover sheet (RTF)

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

files as well. When sending a fax that includes a cover sheet, this document must undergo conversion

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as well. Even if the attachments you are submitting are working, the cover sheet might still fail, causing

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the whole fax to be returned with a “conversion failure.” Cover sheets (RTFs) are handled by Microsoft

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Word (if installed) or Wordpad. 

 

 

2.6.6.2  Server­Side Conversion vs. Client­Side Conversion 
Normally when using Microsoft Fax or FaxOut Client Suite clients, document conversion happens on the

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

client when the user prints to the Fax or FaxOut printer. When they send the fax, the only conversion

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the server must do is convert the cover sheet (if needed). Requiring users to convert documents on the

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

client delivers superior results since the user can preview the fax before it is sent, it saves processing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

   

 

 

time on the fax server, and does not require that application to be installed on the fax server. 

 

Alternately, email fax and FaxOut Client Suite users can attach the document itself to their email, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

rely on the fax server performing document conversion. It is possible for this to fail for reasons beyond

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

the fax server administrator’s control, for example the document might require macros or require a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

password to print. Also the users have no control over print properties and must accept the application’s

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

defaults. 

 

2.6.6.3 Common Conversion Helper Applications 
The NET SatisFAXtion server relies on each application to convert its own file types. The following is a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

basic list of commonly sent file types, and the application needed to convert each one. Make sure that all

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

   

the applications are installed and functioning properly for all the file formats you need the server to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

convert.
