How to process files with macro?

Question

How to process macro-containing office file types like “DOCm” or “PPTm”?

Answer

Macro-containing office file types like “DOCm” or “PPTm” aren't supported in FineReader Server.
For a complete list of supported formats, see help: Supported Input Formats

There is a workaround for most of the office files:

  1. Export your workflow;
  2. Add the required extensions for the selected office document processing application to exported .XML file, for example:
    • <CustomOfficeConvertionParams PreprocessorOptions="11" …
      <CustomOfficeApplications
      WordFilesMask="*.doc;*.docx;*.rtf;*.html;*.htm;*.txt;*.odt;*.DOCM"
      ExcelFilesMask="*.xls;*.xlsx;*.XLSM;*.ods"
      PowerPointFilesMask=""
      VisioFilesMask=""/>
      </CustomOfficeConvertionParams>
  3. Import the workflow.

Sample workflow attached.

Note: We cannot guarantee the processing of such documents.
