Turn Linked Image Updating On or Off

Turn Linked Image Updating On or Off

There is a new custom converter setting in the Microsoft Word Converter to turn on and off updating linked images in Word documents.

To change the setting, edit the DC_Converters.xml file located here:

C:\ProgramData\activePDF\Settings\DocConverter

The default is set to 1 to update linked images. To turn off the update, use the following example:

<Converters:Plugin>

<Extensibility:Name>WordConverterStub</Extensibility:Name>

</Converters:Plugin>
<Converters:Priority>0</Converters:Priority>
<Converters:Alias>Microsoft Word</Converters:Alias>
<Converters:Name>WordConverter</Converters:Name>
<Converters:ConversionsBetweenRelaunch>150</Converters:ConversionsBetweenRelaunch>
<Converters:MaxInstances>2</Converters:MaxInstances>
<Converters:MaxIdleSeconds>90</Converters:MaxIdleSeconds>
<Converters:MaxTimeouts>3</Converters:MaxTimeouts>
