Abstract
The described systems and methods are directed at converting a file with complex elements so that a legacy utilization device, such as a legacy printer, can properly process the file. The described systems may include a converter module with a modular filter pipeline. The converter module may identify elements with complex features in a file. Simpler features that approximate the complex features are determined. The identified elements in the file may be replaced with elements having the simpler features.
