Supported File Formats

This section represents a reference for every document and image file format supported by PrizmDoc.

PrizmDoc detects most of the formats automatically, except the formats with poor signature or no signature at all. Such formats are detected by the file extension.

Document Formats

Adobe Portable Document format *.pdf No Yes
Microsoft Word format *.doc, *.dot Yes Yes
Microsoft Word Open XML format *.docx, *.docm, *.dotx, *.dotm Yes Yes

CAD Formats

Format File Extension Auto Detection
AutoDesk AutoCAD format (version 2.5 through 2014) *.dwg, *.dxf Yes
AutoDesk Design Web format *.dwf Yes
MicroStation Drawing format (V7 and V8) *.dgn Yes

Web Formats

Format File Extension Auto Detection
HyperText Markup Language format *.html, *.htm Yes
Extensible HyperText Markup Language format *.xhtml, *.xhtm Yes

Most of the HTML files are auto-detected by searching for specific tags. Although html tags usually denote a web page, they neither guarantee that the file is a web page, nor they are required for rendering a file as a web page. Such incompliant files might not be recognized as HTML, but will still be rendered as HTML in case if they are identified as such by the file extension.

Email Formats

Format File Extension Auto Detection
Microsoft Outlook format *.msg Yes
Outlook Express Email format *.eml No

EML files are not auto-detected, but identified by file extension because EML is a plain text in MIME format which does not allow reliable auto-detection.

Text Formats

Format File Extension Supported by Microsoft Office renderer Auto Detection
Text format *.txt No No
Comma-Separated Values format *.csv Yes No

Text and CSV files are not auto-detected, but identified by file extension because both are plain text formats with no file signature. These formats however assume different rendering style. While Text is rendered plain, the CSV is rendered like a spreadsheet. We distinguish them by file extension.

Medical Image Formats

Format Compression File Extension Auto Detection
Digital Imaging & Communication in Medicine format Uncompressed, JPEG, RLE *.dcm, *.dicom, *.dcim, *.dicm Yes

Currently PrizmDoc auto detects DICOM Specification Part 10 compliant files only. Autodetection of the legacy DICOM files (without DICOM File Meta Information) is not supported, therefore the legacy DICOM files are detected by the file extension. Currently PrizmDoc does not support conversion of DICOM format to SVG.

Dr. Halo format RLE *.cut No

Currently Windows Metafile and Enhanced Metafile formats are only supported by PrizmDoc Server running on Windows platforms. These formats are not supported on Linux platforms. Dr. Halo (CUT) format cannot be reliably auto-detected due to its poor file signature, therefore it is identified by file extension. Currently PrizmDoc does not support conversion of CAL/CALS, CUR, DCX, IMG, PCT/PIC/PICT, PSD/PSB, RAS, TGA/TPIC and XWD formats to SVG.
