Hi Keith, this list could obviously change in the future, but as it stands now, here is the answer to your question.
Important: Some of these conversions required additional licenses. You can contact sales if you don’t already have a license to see what is required for a particular conversion.
Is there a FULL list of file types that can be directly converted to XOD?

Am I correct in assuming that if a file type doesn’t fall into one of the above two categories, that in order for the virtual print driver to print, there must be an application installed on the machine that has the ability to print that file type?
Yes, that is correct. For details on how to do this on a Server/Desktop computer see the following.
