Setting up FFEXTERN for Conversions

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Select Pre-Processing, click the '+' icon, and select to add a new FXCVRT pre-process operation in FFEXTERN. Set the checkboxes for the conversions you require, with normally a queue number of 0, and enable the pre-process operation. FFEXTERN will then scan the PREPROC folder for FS files.

Normally, the only reason to select a non-zero queue number is to allow 'manual' splitting of the conversion load over multiple machines. In this case the $convert_types configuration command cannot be used and an explicit $fax_pre-process command with a specific non-zero queue number is needed. You can then set up one or more FFEXTERN instances to process each queue. Again each instance must have the capability to process all the document types that may occur together in an FS file.
