Supported File Format Matrix for Oracle Outside In 8.5.8 Release
Overview
This document provides a comprehensive matrix of file formats supported by Oracle Outside-In Technology (OIT) version 8.5.8.
Outside In is a powerful suite of software development kits (SDKs) used for file viewing, conversion, and text extraction in a wide range of enterprise applications.
The Supported File Format Matrix helps developers, integrators, and quality assurance teams:
- Understand which file types are natively supported
- Identify the version coverage of each format
- Determine any known limitations or special considerations
- Plan test coverage and compatibility verification for their integration
How to Use This Matrix
The matrix is organized into categories for easy reference:
- Archive Formats (e.g., ZIP, RAR, 7z)
- Database Formats (e.g., Access, dBase, MySQL)
- Raster Image Formats (e.g., TIFF, JPEG, PNG)
- Email Formats (e.g., MSG, EML)
- Multimedia Formats (e.g., MP3, MP4)
- Text & Markup Formats (e.g., HTML, XML, RTF)
- Vector Image Formats (e.g., AutoCAD, Visio)
- Word Processing Formats (e.g., Word, WordPerfect)
- Spreadsheet Formats (e.g., Excel, Quattro Pro)
- Presentation Formats (e.g., PowerPoint)
- Other Formats (miscellaneous types)
- E-Book Formats
Each section contains a table with the following columns:
| Format | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The name of the file format | The version(s) supported by OIT 8.5.8 | Important details such as limitations, partial support, or special handling |
Example Entry
| Format | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RAR | 1.5–6.x | Split archives not supported |
This means that RAR files from version 1.5 to 6.x are supported, but split archives (.part1.rar, etc.) are not.
Important Considerations
- File ID Only entries indicate that OIT can identify the file type but does not render or extract its content.
- Some formats are supported in text extraction only mode.
- Certain features (e.g., advanced multimedia rendering, embedded objects) may not be fully supported.
- Always refer to the Oracle Outside In Documentation for the most up-to-date details and platform-specific notes.
