Remarks
For more information on creating a backward-compatible form template converter, see the Build a Custom Importer topic in the InfoPath 2003 SDK.
The IFormTemplateConverter2 interface, new to Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, provides the same converter options as the IFormTemplateConverter interface plus support for exporting an InfoPath form to an arbitrary format. For more information about implementing the IFormTemplateConverter2 interface, see the InfoPath Developer Portal on the Microsoft Office Developer Center.
This interface, object, member or enumeration is provided by the InfoPath design environment. A reference must be set to the Microsoft Office InfoPath Designer 2.0 Type Library, located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\IPDESIGN.DLL.
This object or member is used for extending the InfoPath application and is not intended to be used directly from your form code.
