FTSpooler Server Administrator Console - Conversion Filters
 

Conversion Filters are used for file format conversion, such as commonly used PCL/PS to PDF.

In the Process screen, you should enter an appropriate name for the conversion filter as conversion filter name can NOT be changed later. The Executable path refers to the full path and program required. Enter the path manually or click the Browse button.

Each filter requires at least two parameters: (%1) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the output data file; and (%2) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the filtered file. These parameters must appear in the Command Line box. Any parameters specific to the filter process follow the above.

Output file extension allows a different extension to be given the output file.

  • No console window applies to console programs only. Note that for non-console applications this option will result in failure of execution of the filter.

  • Error if output file is empty to enforce filtering. With this option checked, empty output from the filter process will record a failure of the processing of the job with a record generated in the failed jobs archive. Without this option checked the empty output from filter process will be ignored and pre-filtered data will be stored.

Click the OK button to finish adding your conversion filter.
