Determining Your Upgrade Path for SAS Document Conversion Server

The SAS Document Conversion Server is a helper service that extracts plain text from file formats, so that the text can be analyzed by SAS Text Miner. File formats include PDF, Microsoft Office (DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX), OpenOffice.org (ODT, ODP, ODS), and RTF. By default, the Text Import node and the tmfilter macro communicate with the SAS Document Conversion Server on TCP port 7111.
