Understanding the AutoVue rendering module

The AutoVue rendering module uses the Oracle AutoVue 2D Professional viewer and the AutoVue Document Converter to render documents to the following output formats:

• Windows Bitmap (.bmp)
• CCITT Group 4 Fax (.gp4)
• Tagged Image Format (.tif)
• Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf)

Many file formats that are supported for viewing by Oracle AutoVue 2D Professional can be rendered, although not to every output format. Which source file formats are rendering to which output file format and other options are specified in the AutoVue rendering module's configuration options described in Configuring the AutoVue rendering module options.

The AutoVue rendering module requires the following software components that are installed by the Meridian Enterprise Server setup program:

• Oracle AutoVue 2D Professional
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Note    In order to apply the correct paper sizes, the AutoVue Document Converter is set as the default printer during rendering if it is not set already.
