Document Conversions
Esquire converts from a variety of spreadsheet files, word processing files, and tables to and from formats acceptable to other software packages. During the conversion, at the client's option, Esquire performs the following cleanup procedures:

  • Standardizes document IDs, which usually involves normalizing numbers of leading zeroes
  • Standardizes name spellings, punctuation, and form
  • Identifies and standardizes document type variations
  • Corrects spellings in text
  • Creates an alphabetical table of names and organizations

Esquire can create a variety of output formats including ASCII delimited files or tag files. We have extensive experience converting to and from Concordance, Summation, JFS Litigator's Notebook, WordPerfect, WordStar, MS Access, Excel, Lotus, CIS-FT, and fixed field formats.

Media Format Conversions
If you need data to be moved from one medium to another, Esquire has a large and growing variety of tape, disk, and CD-ROM drives. We can move data from old 9-track tape to CD-ROM or to more commonly used tape or diskette formats.

Image File Conversions
Esquire provides TIFF IV to IPRO or IPRO to TIFF IV conversions and delivers the resulting files on a CD-ROM according to client specifications. We also convert image files from one format to another, or to image-based PDF files. By performing OCR, we can convert image files to text, HTML, or text-based PDF files, as you prefer. We also handle the special requirements demanded by electronic evidence.

Blowbacks
Esquire produces blowbacks of IPRO, TIFF Group 3 or Group 4 or PDF and other image files. In addition, Esquire produces reports for use in litigation, quality control, planning, communication, and a variety of other purposes, from databases developed at D-M or elsewhere. Our printers produce 30 to 35 pages per minute at standard (8-1/2" x 11") format, or about 20 pages per minute at large (11" x 17") formats. If blowbacks are needed immediately, we can print the images at our office in Davis, California, and ship the copies overnight to the appropriate location.
