The AutoVue rendering options specify which source document formats to render and to which format in the destination system.
Notes about Functionality
Two rendering modules are provided that are both based on AutoVue software, which must be installed separately.
The AutoVue rendering module is based on a legacy version of AutoVue Desktop. It supports page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are available in existing and new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, it does not support redlines or the latest versions of some file formats and is no longer being developed by Oracle. This is the same version as provided by prior versions of Meridian Enterprise Server and is compatible with existing rendering profiles.
The AutoVue Desktop Deployment rendering module is based on the AutoVue client/server version that is listed in the Supported Software document for this version of Meridian Enterprise. It is installed as a desktop deployment on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer. It does not support page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are not available in new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, this AutoVue version does support the latest versions of some file formats, it supports redlines (the rendering module does not support AutoVue Signoff approval stamps), and is supported by Oracle.
Configure Oracle AutoVue Options
To configure the Oracle AutoVue rendering options:
-
In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Data Exchange group, click Rendering Profiles.
The All Rendering Profiles page appears and lists the existing profiles grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they are assigned.
-
Double-click the rendering profile that you want to configure.
The AutoVue rendering options page appears.
-
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
-
Click SAVE.
- To publish redlines for the Microsoft Word, Excel, and RTF file types, set the ENABLEOFFICEMARKUPS option to 1 in the [OPTIONS] section of the file avx.ini that is located in the Windows folder.
-
Accruent does not provide support for modifications to the avx.ini file that are not documented by Accruent. In some circumstances, the settings may also be overwritten by Accruent software. Make other modifications at your own risk.
