# Convert Document Steps

## Overview

Users can use either the **Convert Document** or the **Convert Document To HTML** step to convert FileData input from Word, PDF, or Excel files. The **Convert Document** step converts the file into a Word, PDF, or Excel document, while the **Convert Document To HTML** step outputs the document as HTML.

When converting Word documents to HTML, the **Convert Document To HTML** step can also generate responsive HTML that reflows to fit the browser viewport instead of preserving fixed page dimensions.

Both of these steps will convert the document, and the default Output save location is **C:\Program Files\Decisions\FileStorage\Primary\temp\**.

## Convert Document Steps

The Convert Document steps are located in the **Toolbox** panel under **DATA > DOCUMENTS**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1778872881083.png)

### Convert Document To HTML Step

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Convert From Type | The file extension of the input file |
| Output With Images Embedded | Embeds images from the source document in the generated HTML instead of saving them as external files. |
| Output With Responsive Layout | When enabled for Word document conversions, the generated HTML reflows to fit the browser viewport instead of preserving fixed page dimensions. This option should be used with **Output With Images Embedded** enabled when the document contains embedded images. |
| Document | The desired file to convert to HTML |

For Word document conversions, enable **Output With Responsive Layout** to allow paragraphs to flex with the browser size. If the Word document contains images, enable **Output With Images Embedded** so images are included in the generated HTML instead of being stored in an external folder.
