File Content Extraction 25.3
Filter SDK C++ Programming Guide

# extraction_timeout

(Out-of-process only) Sets the timeout for extracting one document. If the process times out, File Content Extraction shuts down the out-of-process process, which might add some time before the function returns.

By default this timeout value is in seconds. You can change this unit to milliseconds by setting `KvoopTimeOutUnit=millisecond` in the `[FilterSDK_Config]` section of the `formats.ini` file.

Default value: 350 seconds
