If the supplier contract document is created using the Create Document page, the file type is Microsoft Word XML and must be converted to PDF before it is routed for signing because signature providers do not support this file type.

The file conversion uses an application server on a Windows machine, as defined on the Installation Options - Supplier Contract Management Page. PDF conversion also applies to any imported document with a file type of Microsoft Word XML or OpenOffice. Other XML file types are not supported and cannot be converted to PDF.
