The MSO converter, <prizm-install>\modules\c2s_mso.bin, relies on Microsoft® Office 2007 or 2010 to convert Office content to PDF for display within Prizm Content Connect.

This server-based usage of Microsoft® Office requires that you obtain a separate license directly from Microsoft® software.
This feature is only available on Windows.

Follow these configuration steps to enable the use of the MSO Converter:

  1. Stop Prizm service.
  2. Enable msoconvert=true in proxyserver_jar.properties.
  3. Set msoconvert_timeout to office conversion timeout in seconds, which is 50 by default. 
  4. Create the following folder:
  • On 32-bit platforms, create the folder "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop"
  • On 64-bit platforms, create the folder "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop"
  1. Start Prizm service.
