Compatible with your SharePoint environment

Muhimbi PDF Converter has been designed for both MOSS and WSS and leverages the following SharePoint technologies:

• Office SharePoint Server: When running on MOSS rather than on WSS, additional functionality becomes available to visually browse for the destination folder.
• Workflow enabled: Use the converter from a friendly user interface or use SharePoint Designer / Nintex Workflow to integrate document conversion into your own custom process.
• SharePoint WSP Solutions: The PDF converter is automatically deployed to all servers in a farm using a standard WSP file.
• SharePoint Features: The PDF Converter can be activated or deactivated at the Web Application level. Once active it can be accessed from all Site Collections in the web application.
• Sorting and Filtering: Users can sort or filter the conversion results using a user interface they are already familiar with.
• Context Sensitive: The various PDF conversion options are available from the file and folder menu as well as the Actions Menu.
• SharePoint Audit Log: When enabled, document conversions are reported in the SharePoint Audit Log.
• SharePoint Trace Log: Document conversions, successful as well as unsuccessful ones, are written to the SharePoint trace log.
• Windows Event Log: Unexpected errors, such as corrupt documents, are reported in both the trace log and the Windows Event log.
• SharePoint Security: The system prevents the user from converting documents to folders / libraries or sites they don't have access to.
• Localisation: Currently available in English, Dutch, Japanese, French and German. Additional languages are added based on demand.

A lightweight solution

Muhimbi PDF Converter is a small 4MB download that can either be deployed on your SharePoint Web Front End server or on a completely separate server or virtual machine.
