Supported document types and conversions in the Java document viewer toolkit

The following tables summarize the document types and conversions supported by default (by using the supplied conversion engines).

Additional conversion capabilities can be plugged in by creating classes that extend CMBDocumentEngine and adding those classes to the list of engines in the engine properties passed to the constructor of CMBStreamingDocServices.

Note:
1
The AFP2Web toolkit performs paginated conversion to text/hml. This toolkit is not packaged with IBM® Content Manager; it is available separately. The bridge to AFP2Web contained within CMBODDocumentEngine is Windows only; therefore, AFP to HTML conversion is available only on Windows by using this engine.
2
AFP to AFP conversion also concatenates segments of large object documents.
3
Line data to plain text conversion also converts EBCDIC to ASCII.
4
The text/url MIME type is a special MIME type used to indicate that a plain text document contains a URL. CMBStreamingDocServices converts the URL into an HTML document with an auto-forwarding link.
5
A document of a particular source type can be written only to one of these target types if it is compatible with the target type. A multi-page document cannot be written to the image/jpeg and image/bmp types. An image document cannot be written to the plain/text type.
6
Overlays are not supported when using the CMBSnowboundEngine.
