LibreOffice for Document Conversion Services in HCL Docs 2.0.2

Learn more about the changes in Document Conversion Services for HCL Docs 2.0.2.

LibreOffice has replaced Oracle’s Outside In Technology (also known as Stellent), which was used to generate the thumbnail preview of documents in HCL Connections Docs 2.0.1. At this time, LibreOffice is not replacing the IBM Symphony document conversions that are used for rendering documents as part of the HCL Connections Docs feature.

Where are the changes?

Oracle’s Stellent libraries have been removed from the install packages and the installer will instead now install LibreOffice to support this feature.

Are there any changes in supported document types or fidelity of the thumbnails?

There are no changes in supported document types. Due to the upgraded conversion libraries, end users might notice an improvement in the fidelity of the thumbnails versus what was previously shown.
