Webtop uses Documentum Content Transformation Services products to transform a file using a set of properties in order to create a new rendition.
Transformations to create new renditions occur on one item at a time, and requests are processed asynchronously, meaning that new renditions may not be available immediately. You receive a notification in your Inbox when a transformation is completed or if a transformation fails.
Not all features mentioned in the following procedure are available for all file formats, and some file formats cannot be transformed. Format availability depends on the Content Transformation Services products installed, and any special configuration on your system.
To create a new rendition through transformation:
Navigate to, and select the file to transform to create a new rendition.
Note: You can transform a parent file or another rendition. (Locating renditions is described in Viewing a list of the different renditions of a file.)
Select Tools > Transform > More Formats.
The Transform wizard appears. Do the following:
Select a transformation profile, and click Next.
If the Transformation Details screen appears, enter any information necessary for setting the parameters of the transformation, and click Next.
In the Save As screen, select Create a New Rendition, and click Next.
In the Rendition Definition screen, complete the fields as required. At this time, you may choose to save the transformation so that it is performed each time the file is versioned.
If you have selected multiple files for this transformation, click Next. Alternatively, if you wish to apply the selected parameters to all of the files selected for the transformation, or if you have selected only one file to transform, click Finish.
The transformation request is immediately sent to the appropriate server queue for processing. When the transformation is complete, a notification is sent to your Inbox.
