A document converter is a custom executable file that takes a document of one file type, and generates a copy of that file in another file type. For example, a document converter might take a Microsoft Office Excel file and use it to generate a Microsoft Office PowerPoint file. Using document converters, you can transform your content into different versions to suit your business needs. Perhaps you want to convert draft documentation into a different, final format for long-term archiving; or perhaps you need to convert your internal documentation to a different format for placement on a customer-facing site.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes an extensible framework for you to enable your own custom document converters for the document libraries in a Web application. The basic steps to develop a custom document converter are as follows:

  • Ensure document conversion is enabled for your Web application.
  • Create an executable file that can be called by using a specific command line command.
  • Package the executable file, along with a document converter definition file, as a Feature that can be deployed and activated at the Web-application level.
  • Install and activate the document converter; you can further configure the document converter using the Central Administration user interface.

    • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 stores the GUID of the converter used to create each specific converted copy. It uses the GUID, rather than the file type extension, to determine whether a specific converter has been used to generate a converter copy.
