BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server 2018 Administrator's Guide
Configuring the AutoVue rendering module options
The AutoVue rendering options specify which source document formats to render and to which format in the destination system.
Note Two rendering modules are provided that are both based on AutoVue software.
The AutoVue rendering module is based on AutoVue Desktop version 20.2.1. It supports page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are available in existing and new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, it does not support redlines or the latest versions of some file formats and is no longer being developed by Oracle. This is the same version as provided by prior versions of Meridian Enterprise Server and is compatible with existing rendering profiles.
The AutoVue Desktop Deployment rendering module is based on the AutoVue 20.2.3 (Java server) client/server edition that is installed as a desktop deployment on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer. It does not support page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are not available in new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, it does support the latest versions of some file formats, it supports redlines, and is fully supported by Oracle.
To configure the Oracle AutoVue rendering options:
-
In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Data Exchange group, click Rendering Profiles. The All Rendering Profiles page appears and lists the existing profiles grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they are assigned.
- Double-click the rendering profile that you want to configure. The AutoVue rendering options page appears.
- Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
- Click SAVE.
- To publish redlines for the Microsoft Word, Excel, and RTF file types, set the ENABLEOFFICEMARKUPS option to 1 in the [OPTIONS] section of the file avx.ini that is located in the Windows folder.
-
BlueCielo does not provide support for modifications to the avx.ini file that are not documented by BlueCielo. In some circumstances, the settings may also be overwritten by BlueCielo software. Make other modifications at your own risk.
