# OfficeConverters Object (IOfficeConverters Interface)

<Note>
  This object is implemented in FRE for Linux and Windows.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Beginning with v12.8.0, you will need to install Microsoft Office or LibreOffice to ingest office documents.
</Warning>

This object represents a collection of [OfficeConverterTypeEnum](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/enumerations/officeconvertertypeenum) constants which denote the types of applications that could be used to convert incoming digital documents. The applications are sorted in the order of usage priority.

* The indexing of ABBYY FineReader Engine collections starts with 0.
* The foreach statement in C# (for each in Visual Basic .NET) can be used to manipulate the collection.
