This new version includes a SharePoint Designer Custom Activity! Now you can automatically convert documents by dropping them into a specific Document Library, or integrate them as part of an overall document management workflow.
You can download this new version from the Nauplius.WAS Downloads page. Both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 solutions are available.
Just a quick note that I’ve released Nauplius.WAS 1.01 which has a few fixes for SharePoint 2010 and adds full support for SharePoint 2013.
When running the Config Wizard for the SharePoint 2013 upgrade with My Sites deployed, you may run across an error similar to this which causes the upgrade to fail:

This is due to a new method called DoMySite_PersonalDocLicPermissionReset in the class Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.UserProfiles.MySitePersonalSiteUpgrader. This class looks for a Document Library named “Personal Documents”. On pre-April 2013 CU, the lack of this library can cause the Cumulative Upgrade to fail with the above error. There are two workarounds that I’ve identified:
A) Create a document library in the user’s My Site named “Personal Documents”
B) Delete the user’s My Site
While the April 2013 CU may be in this failed state, any My Sites created during this failed state do not suffer from the above error.
When running /extract against the April 2013 Cumulative Update, it takes… hours. Using Process Monitor, it appears that the CU is going through the entire CU exe to identify and extract the files, in a one-by-one process. For example, we’ll look at the extraction of two files, edumui-es-es.msp and edumui-et-ee.msp.
First, the extraction process finds edumui-es-es.msp and creates a file as well as begins the extraction:
Next, the extraction finishes, and the extraction process starts parsing the ubersrv2013 executable from the beginning again:
Next, the extraction process, using 8KB to ~32KB reads, finds edumui-et-ee.msp in the ubersrv2013 executable some ways into it (about 663MB):
Finally, edumui-et-ee.msp is extracted and the read process of the ubersrv2013 executable begins again:
Compare to the March 2013 PU, which goes through the ubersrv2013 executable and picks out files as required:
