This configurator drives Altsoft Xml2PDF Server. It is a processor that converts XML documents into formatted page-oriented output intended for human consumption.
Input formats include XSL-FO (or XML+XSLT), SVG, XHTML and Word (WordML 2003, DocX, Word 2007 Xml). Output formats include PDF, XPS, PS, and TIFF.
The formatted output file moves along the outgoing data connections, a log file with feedback on the conversion process moves along the outgoing log connections. If the formatting was successful, both files move along the success connections, otherwise they move along the error connections.
Refer to Version requirements for third-party applications for more information on the third-party application required by this configurator.
