You may want to convert tabular input files to document output files so that you can include textual representations of data tables or spreadsheets in reports and other documents. You will, however, lose cell borders, headers, grid lines, all formulas, and font types when converting a tabular input file to a document output file. When you convert a tabular input file (for example, a DTIF file) to a document output file, the file format first undergoes an automatic domain conversion from a table format to a document format. The output is then converted to the document format you specified. You can create an options file containing processing options that apply to any CDA supported tabular file format for which there is an input converter. Data tables and spreadsheets are examples of tabular file formats. To convert tabular input files to document output files, use the DTIF_TO_DDIF format name, followed by the processing options listed below. Specify the DTIF_TO_DDIF processing options in addition to the processing options for a particular tabular input file format and a particular document output file format.
