Frequently asked questions
How does the transition to the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) affect the functionality of Document Converter for SharePoint?
In response to Microsoft’s announcement regarding the retirement of add-ins in SharePoint, the Document Converter app will continue to be available in the SharePoint UI, now leveraging the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) to deliver the same reliable functionality you’ve come to trust. This transition to SPFx enhances performance, reliability, and compatibility with new SharePoint features.
What is the difference between the Document Converter for SharePoint on-premises and online versions?
Our goal at Nutrient has always been to support all current and future SharePoint versions. SharePoint versions from 2007 to 2019 largely share the same architecture, resulting in some small tweaks (and some not-so-small ones) to make the same product work on all SharePoint versions. To us, on-premises means a SharePoint 2007–2019 installation that you installed yourself or someone (other than Microsoft) is maintaining on your behalf.
Over the last few years, Microsoft has been pushing “The Cloud,” popularizing a product known as SharePoint Online, or Office 365. Depending on who you talk to, these terms are used interchangeably, but we call it SharePoint Online. Although the SharePoint Online user interface resembles SharePoint 2019, under the hood, it’s quite a different beast, especially when it comes to third-party extensibility. Our core conversion service is largely the same, but the entire frontend (SharePoint user interface, workflow actions) had to be redeveloped from scratch.
Although this process was challenging, we’ve now achieved full feature parity, at least where feasible.
What is the difference between free and trial subscriptions?
In addition to a 30-day fully functional trial version, a completely free version of Document Converter for SharePoint Online is available as well. The trial should be used when evaluating the product with the intention of purchasing a full subscription. This version provides a large number of operations for 30 days, with the ability to use all functionality provided by the product. However, generated documents include an evaluation watermark.
The free version is aimed at users who only need very basic functionality and a modest number of operations per month. Documents generated using the free subscription do not include an evaluation watermark.
What do you mean by maximum operation size and operations per month?
Each subscription level comes with a different maximum operation size and operations per month allowance.
The maximum size decides the size, in bytes, for a single operation. This includes the total size of all source files in a single merge operation, as well as the size of a single conversion.
The number of operations per month is the number of individual operations carried out. Some examples of a single operation include converting a file, watermarking a file, securing a file, and carrying out OCR on a single page.
What happens when I run out of monthly operations?
Each subscription level comes with a different operations per month allowance. When a subscription has reached 75 percent of the allowance, you’ll receive an automated email requesting you contact the Nutrient team to make arrangements. When reaching 100 percent of the allowance, without making any arrangements, the software will cease to work for the rest of the month.
If 75 percent isn’t the correct trigger for your organization, please contact Support to change this figure.
Upon subscribing to Document Converter Online, do I get access to both the SharePoint Online app and Power Automate? What is the difference?
Yes, a subscription to Document Converter Online provides access to both the SharePoint Online app and the Power Automate connector. While they share many core features, there are key differences.
The Power Automate connector is designed for automating document conversion workflows, allowing you to integrate document processes into your existing automation tools. It supports converting, merging, and securing documents, without manual intervention, as part of larger workflows.
The SharePoint Online app, on the other hand, offers an intuitive interface tailored for SharePoint users. Read more in our knowledge base article.
