# Electronic document renditions

You can create renditions of an electronic document in Content Manager.

A rendition is a copy of the document in a different format, which can be useful for users who, for example, do not have the client application of a document or file.

You can attach multiple renditions of an electronic document to a single record. For example, the original rendition may be in Microsoft Word format - .doc - while other renditions may be in the formats .txt, .rtf, .pdf.

Content Manager enables you to create document renditions for records in different ways:

- Manually create renditions to a record using the Properties - Renditions page - see Record Renditions page
- Use Content Manager Render to create .pdf files automatically.
  See Content Manager Render.
- Set Content Manager to check in specific renditions with an original document that a user is checking in.
  See Automatic rendition capture and extraction.

NOTE: When the option Delete this rendition when creating a new revision in the Content Manager Enterprise Studio General - File Types - Properties - Renditions tab is selected, and a user creates a new revision of an original document, Content Manager deletes the rendition from the record. This applies to any rendition, including digital signatures.
When the option is not selected, the rendition remains. In the case of a digital signature rendition, it probably would not work because the signature is associated with the document that has been replaced by the new revision.
