Planned Support
- Document structure extraction
- Metadata recovery
- Content extracted to text
- Export to CSV, Excel, JSON, and SQL
Interleaf is a document-centric database system focused on technical documentation management with hierarchical structure and embedded formatting.
Planned Support
- Interleaf/ISOGEN versions 3.x through 4.x
- Document structure extraction
- Metadata recovery
- Content extraction to text format
What You Get Out
Once the parser ships, DataMeans will extract your data into multiple modern formats:
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
csv/{TableName}.csv | One CSV file per table with all row data |
xlsx/{TableName}.xlsx | Excel workbook per table |
xls/{TableName}.xls | Legacy Excel format per table |
json/{TableName}.json | JSON array of records per table |
json/{TableName}.jsonl | Newline-delimited JSON (streaming-friendly) |
postgres.sql | PostgreSQL CREATE TABLE + INSERT statements |
schema/schema-graph.json | Relationship graph for visualization |
schema/er-model.json | ER model for diagram tools |
report.json | Structured extraction report |
report.md | Human-readable extraction summary |
File Requirements
- Interleaf/ISOGEN document files
Current Status
Parser development is in the planning phase. The company is defunct, making documentation acquisition difficult.
Technical Notes
This is a document-centric rather than data-centric format. The proprietary binary format with embedded formatting adds complexity to extraction.
Overview
Documentation coming soon.
This article will contain vendor-neutral technical documentation about the Interleaf document publishing format, including:
- History and background
- File format specifications
- Data types and structures
- Version differences
- Technical references
To learn how to use this format with DataMeans, see the User Guide.
Not available for hosted uploads yet. The parser is in development.
Can I convert Interleaf databases with DataMeans today?
Not yet. Interleaf is not available for self-serve upload, and support is still in development. Get in touch and we'll tell you where it stands and help plan the migration.
What will DataMeans convert Interleaf databases to?
Once Interleaf is available, exports will match every other system we support: clean CSV, Excel, JSON & SQL, one file per table, with a structured report of exactly what was extracted.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and are automatically deleted once your conversion is complete. Your data is never sold, shared, or used for anything else.
