Digital Asset Manager uses EMC Documentum Content Transformation Services products to provide the functionality to transform documents to PDF or HTML format. When a document is selected for transformation to PDF or HTML format, the request is sent to a queue where it awaits processing by the Content Transformation Services product. The default transformation parameters are used for that document type. When processing is complete, a new file in either PDF or HTML format is stored in the object’s list of renditions.
You can view the status of your transformation requests in the Transformations node of the navigation tree. An indicator also appears next to files that have transformation requests:
A yellow indicator (
) indicates that the file has a pending transformation request.A green indicator (
) indicates that a transformation request is currently processing.A red indicator (
) indicates that a transformation request has failed.
It may also be possible, depending on what other Documentum products are installed on your system, to transform a document to PDF or HTML formats with options. See Creating a rendition through transformation and Creating a related object through transformation for more information.
To transform a document to PDF or HTML:
Navigate to and select the document that you want to transform to PDF or HTML.
Note
You can transform a primary file or another rendition.
Select Tools > Transform > PDF Rendition or Tools > Transform > HTML Rendition.
The transformation request is immediately sent to the appropriate queue for processing.
