Web services API
Connect your enterprise systems via a web services API, send for conversion and retrieve files once converted. Read and write files to – and from – any system that supports web services API
Features
Synchronous, real-time integration
Harness real-time conversion and dynamic control over conversion parameters when sending documents to DocShifter. For example, you may request the first file to be returned sa PDF/A-1 and the second as PDF/A-2. With DocShifter’s web services API, you’re in control.
Asynchronous integration
Send files to a queue and receive the converted file back. DocShifter converts documents in the background, and sends them to the desired location once completed. From f.e.a document or regulatory information management systems – to folders and even emails – with DocShifter’s web services API, you choose the location.

Is there a limitation on how many content systems we can connect to DocShifter?
We want to support your content, wherever it lives. That's why there is no limit to how many different content management systems are connected to any DocShifter server. Connect away.
Can we set up DocShifter to monitor local input folders?
Yes. Local network folders can be monitored as long as they are within shared network locations.
Can conversion workflows be triggered in DocShifter, based on metadata from our document management system?
Absolutely. Metadata can be used to trigger workflows, as well as specify how the content will be processed within the workflow.
Our content repository is not shown above. What does that mean?
If your content management system is not listed – but it does offer connections via web services – it is most likely supported. If not, drop us a note and one of our team will happily find a solution.
Does DocShifter software support optical character recognition (OCR)?
DocShifter allows for fully-automated OCR from any file format supported, which includes all image formats listed in a given RFP. The accuracy of results will depend on the quality of the image being processed via OCR, so the required 90% guarantee cannot be achieved without the quality of the content source also being guaranteed.
Where is DocShifter deployed?
DocShifter’s software can be deployed on-premise or in your cloud (AWS/Azure/Google). On Microsoft Windows or Linux. Either directly onto hardware, using VMWare or in a Docker / Kubernetes infrastructure.
We need the conversion functionality for a one-off conversion project, but are not interested in purchasing conversion software. Can you help?
Absolutely. It's something we have plenty of experience in. Head over to our Document Conversion Services page to find out how DocShifter's team can handle all of your document conversion project needs.
