# Optimize Nintex workflows with document conversion

We recently released the Muhimbi Document Converter Xtension for Nintex Automation Cloud. You can download it [here](https://gallery.nintex.com/t/muhimbi) or learn more about available Muhimbi deployments for Nintex on our [product page](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code).

**This article is about using Nintex Workflow in combination with the on-premise version of the Muhimbi Document Converter for SharePoint (2007-2019). For details about using the SharePoint Online edition of both products, see [this blog post](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/use-nintex-workflow-for-office-365-to-pdf-convert-merge-watermark-secure-ocr-files/), as well as [this one](https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2019/03/21/add-nintex-component-workflows-for-office-365-with-muhimbi-converter-service-online/).**

The Document Converter for SharePoint ships with a large number of Workflow Actions for [SharePoint Designer](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/knowledge-base/creating-workflows-using-sharepoint-designer-the-muhimbi-pdf-converter.md), Nintex Workflow as well as [K2](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/knowledge-base/using-pdf-converter-in-combination-with-k2-workflows.md).

At the time of writing the following Nintex Workflow Actions are available.

- [Convert files to PDF](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/how-to-use-nintex-workflows-to-convert-to-pdf/) (Legacy Activity)

- [Convert between document types](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/convert-file-formats-using-nintex-workflow-and-the-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint/).

- [Watermark files](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/watermark-pdfs-using-nintex-workflow-and-the-muhimbi-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint/).

- [Apply PDF security](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/secure-pdfs-using-nintex-workflow-and-the-muhimbi-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint/).

- [Convert & Merge](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/convert-and-merge-pdfs-using-nintex-workflow-and-the-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint/). (another 3rd party article on this subject [can be found here](https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2018/09/21/nintex-workflow-to-merge-all-the-documents-to-pdf-in-a-document-library/))

- [Convert HTML to PDF](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/convert-html-to-pdf-using-nintex-workflow-and-the-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint/).

- [Convert to OCRed PDF](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/how-to-ocr-images-and-pdfs-using-nintex-workflows/).

- [Extract Text using OCR](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/how-to-extract-text-from-pdf-using-nintex-workflow/).

- [Copy Meta-Data](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/copy-meta-data-and-set-content-types-using-nintex-workflow/).

This list is likely to change in the future. For the latest Nintex related articles [see this link](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/tags/low-code/). A short video tutorial about watermarking [is available here](https://www.nutrient.io/resources/tutorial-apply-simple-pdf-watermarks-using-nintex-workflow).

Further information can be found [in the User Guide](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-converter/sharepoint.md). An example about how to execute multiple PDF Conversion and manipulation workflow activities in sequence [is available here](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/combining-multiple-muhimbi-pdf-sharepoint-workflow-activities-into-a-sequence/). For details about to convert a Nintex Form to PDF, including all attachments, see [this blog post](https://www.nutrient.io/blog/practical-nintex-forms-to-pdf-conversion-using-the-pdf-converter-for-sharepoint-on-premises/). An example explaining how to merge all document in a document library into a single PDF [can be found here](https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2018/09/21/nintex-workflow-to-merge-all-the-documents-to-pdf-in-a-document-library/).

In order to use the Muhimbi Nintex Features you will need to enable this Feature at the Web Application level. In SharePoint 2010 and later the _Web Application Feature Management_ screen can be hard to find, please follow these steps:

- Open _Central Administration / Application Management / Manage Web Application._

- Select the relevant Web Application and click _Manage features._

- Enable _Muhimbi Document Converter - Nintex Workflow Integration._

If the Muhimbi Workflow Actions are not displayed in the Nintex Workflow Designer then please check they are enabled at the Site Collection Level (In Nintex' _Manage Allowed Actions_ screen). Our software automatically enables them at the Web Application level, but if changes have been made to the Allowed Nintex Actions at the Site Collection level then any changes applied at the Web Application level are not automatically inherited at the lower levels.
