Rendering Modules
This article lists additional requirements per rendering module. It also displays information about the rendering modules in two ways: supported file types per rendering module, and the rendering modules applicable to each file type.
Additional Requirements per Module
The following table lists additional requirements and notes for each rendering module.
|
Rendering Module |
Additional Requirements |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ACME CAD license required. | ||

If you are switching to the Aspose rendering module after having previously used Microsoft Office, you may need to install some fonts for Office files to render correctly. The reason for this is because Office includes several fonts in its installation package, including some proprietary fonts. These fonts are not included with Meridian. For many of the fonts, you can download and install True Type Font (.ttf) files for free. However, for Microsoft's proprietary fonts, you will need to acquire a license. |

Limitations for specific file types. See tables below. This list is a subset of the formats that AutoVue supports for viewing. A complete list of the viewing formats can be found on the Oracle web site. This list is provided as a guideline for convenience only and may not be accurate for specific combinations of the versions of Publisher, AutoVue, and the source document format. For confirmation of support for specific combinations and any known limitations, contact Accruent Technical Support. |

Forge does not create PDF renditions, as the other render engines do. For documents rendered with Forge, a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) rendition is generated which is stored in an Autodesk web service. See the file formats supported by Forge. |

The license agreement of an application may prohibit using a centrally deployed and/or automated installation to generate output available to multiple users. The additional license is included in the Enterprise subscription plan. Interactive mode requires an account to be constantly logged into the server to run Publisher.
