Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1536:
-----------------------------------------
Hmm. I wonder if it would be a good idea to add a Document Specification
switch, defaulting to PDF, to maintain backwards compatibility. An alternative
would be to have the connector pull BOTH native and PDF formats; that would be
considered backwards compatible, I am pretty sure.
> Having Google Docs native format documents exported as MS
> Office/Open/LibreOffice formats instead of PDFs

> Key: CONNECTORS-1536
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1536
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GoogleDrive connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.10
> Reporter: Douglas C. R. Paes
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
>
> When dealing with migration process, like when using the CMIS Output
> Connector to ingest content into an ECM (Alfresco in my case), it would be
> better to have the Google Docs native documents exported as some of the
> editable formats, like MS Office or Open/Libre Office formats.
> The reason for this is that users would like to keep updating content after
> it is ingested into the ECM.
>
> I have this already "fixed" in my github fork at
> [https://github.com/douglascrp/manifoldcf/tree/release-2.10-changed]
>
> I would like to contribute to the project if you guys find this an useful
> improvement.
