I need a little bit of explanation on what does the WF document generation action and the Update document/convert document actions depend on in SharePoint configuration.
Basically I need explanation/resources that explain the SharePoint on premise portion of it.
My understanding is that the "update document" and "Convert document" actions depend on both:
- The word automation service application.
- Document Conversion services.
And here is a question regarding the above, are the Document Conversion services obsolete in 2013? Check this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2910363/some-document-conversion-services-in-sharepoint-server-are-not-secure
If so, how is this feature functional currently in 2013 and 2016? Has it been renamed, repurposed, redesigned, or using a different service.... !
My other question is what does Dog Gen depend on?
- is it a stand alone feature, or does it fully depend also on the "Word Automation service application" and the same "Document conversion services" ?
Please help with any resources that explain how these actions function and which services they depend on, especially if something has been deprecated!
