The tables in this section provide the following information:
The file formats supported by the Filter API, Export API, Viewing API, and File Extraction API. The supported versions and the format’s extension are also listed.
The formats listed in this section can also be detected by the KeyView format detection module (kwad). The Supported Formats (Detected) section lists formats that can be detected, but cannot be filtered, converted, or displayed.
The file formats for which KeyView can detect and extract the character set and metadata information (properties such as title, author, and subject).
Even though a file format might be able to provide character set information, some documents might not contain character set information. Therefore, the document reader would not be able to determine the character set of the document. In this case, either the operating system code page or the character set specified in the API is used.
