Last revised:

Answer

Install JoomDOC4 into Joomla! 2.5 or Joomla! 3. Copy JoomDOC2 or DocMAN tables from old Joomla! 1.5 database into new Joomla! database. JoomDOC2 tables have prefix j15_joomdoc_. DocMAN tables have prefix j15_docman_. For JoomDOC2 rename tables according to the below table. For DocMAN only change database prefix to j3_. You probably use different table prefixes then j15_ and j3_. Prefixes j15_ and j3_ only are examples.

Original JoomDOC2 table name in Joomla! 1.5 databaseJoomDOC2 table name in new Joomla! database prepared to the migration
j15_joomdoc j3_joomdoc2
j15_joomdoc_groups j3_joomdoc2_groups
j15_joomdoc_history j3_joomdoc2_history
j15_joomdoc_licenses j3_joomdoc2_licences
j15_joomdoc_log j3_joomdoc2_log

Copy table j15_categories from old database into new database as j3_categories. The current j3_categories table backup and after migration restore. Copy folder with documents from old Joomla! web-root into new Joomla! web-root. Open JoomDOC4 Control Panel and go to the Migration tab. Enter relative path of documents folder (copied from old Joomla) and click migration button.

Migration should go into the clean database. You should empty (truncate) tables j3_joomdoc and j3_joomdoc_file first. Document root folder of the new Joomla! should be empty as well.
