* **Server-based**: SWING PDF Converter uses OpenOffice to convert file attachments to PDF. OpenOffice needs to be installed on the same server where SWING PDF Converter will be running. IBM Lotus Domino 8 or newer is required.
* Office applications are **not required** for standard conversions, i.e. if you are only converting documents/emails to PDF, and embedding attachments in their native format.
