  1. Does not support conversion of password-protected documents.

  2. Can convert images to the resolutions of 200x200 DPI or 300x300 DPI; black & white, grayscale, or color.

  3. Conversion of PDF documents with XFA forms (Adobe XML Forms Architecture) created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer requires Adobe LiveCycle environment available via network.

  4. Does not support MSG documents for which attachments are removed by any Microsoft Outlook archiving function; they are treated as document conversion errors.

  5. Requires additional manual steps. See KC Plug-In Help.

  6. For folder import only, the EML and MSG files are treated as if the message is arrived via email. The metadata of the message (and not the metadata of the file) is used.

  7. Conversion might require third-party tools during configuration / customization. It does not require tools during operation.

  8. KFXConverter supports Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2013. It also supports the conversion of XPS format.

  9. For conversion using Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office must be installed on the computer where Message Connector is running.

 

Note: Each conversion tool produces the desired output in a different way. As a result, switching to another conversion tool may change the look of your converted documents.

  • base64

  • quoted-printable

It does not support other encoding types, such as uuencode or Xxencode.
