1.6 Applicability Statement

This protocol applies only to the full conversion of files which don't require outside data sources (such as external images) from one format to another for which a designated conversion application has been supplied. This protocol does not apply to extracting only parts of files, such as a first page of a document. It is also not designed for low latency, as the conversion process typically take a long time. The protocol is designed to facilitate the distribution of conversion tasks to multiple servers.
