How to convert Office documents (Word, Excel, Outlook messages and PowerPoint, both old and new versions) to PDF/TIFF without MS Office components on our servers?

Posted on

Hi,

We need a component that will help us convert Office documents (Word, Excel, Outlook messages and PowerPoint, both old and new versions) to PDF/TIFF.

The primary restriction we have is that we cannot install MS Office components on our servers.

We are interested in using your component for our tasks, and have the following questions:

1. Does it convert all the file types mentioned above?

2. Does it require MS Office installation on the server?

3. Does it support multi-threaded access?

4. Do you have any load testing results?

Please let me know if you need any information from me.

Best Regards,
Customer

3. You can run following command lines to test it first, "docPrint_client.exe" will deliver the Command Line to docPrint_Service.exe application, docPrint_Service.exe application will execute the Command Line from active user account automatically,

docPrint_client.exe nowait "C:\VeryDOC\doc2any.exe" C:\test.doc C:\out.pdf
docPrint_client.exe wait "C:\VeryDOC\doc2any.exe" C:\test.doc C:\out.pdf

4. You can call "docPrint_client.exe" from your code, please refer to a simple C# code at below,

public partial class rundoc2any: System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\VeryDOC\\docPrint_client.exe";
string strArguments = "wait C:\\VeryDOC\\doc2any.exe C:\\test.doc C:\\test.pdf";
Console.WriteLine(strArguments);
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @strArguments;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
Response.Write("File has been successfully converted");
}
}

5. Close Remote Desktop and leave this user logged in.

*Please Notice: After you reboot the server, you need login your server via Remote Desktop with this user account ("doc2pdf_service.exe" was installed inside this user account), and close Remote Desktop, leave this user logged in, when you call docPrint_client.exe application, the conversion will be executed from this user account automatically.

How to use doc2any SDK to convert HTML file to PDF file and break the pages?

Posted on

1) If the HTML required > then one page it would page break it for us in the PDF.
2) Are we able to do page 1 of X?
3) Are we able to use the header on the first page only and then change it to just a small text header? Sample attached.
4) Do you have any page break commands?

Please provide samples in VB.

First page has logo header and footer including page number
Second page has different header and same footer with page number.

Please provide samples in VB.

Thanks.

>>1) If the HTML required > then one page it would page break it for us in the PDF.
>>2) Are we able to do page 1 of X?
>>3) Are we able to use the header on the first page only and then change it to just a small text header? Sample attached.
>>4) Do you have any page break commands?

Thanks for your message, doc2any SDK can't format the contents during conversion, we suggest you may format the contents in HTML file first, for example, you can include the text header or image header on the first page, and then change it to text header on the following pages, you can use following DIV CSS style to break the pages in PDF file properly,

<div style="page-break-before:always;"></div>

after you create the HTML file, you can use following ASP code to convert this HTML file to PDF file with page breaks properly,

--------------------------
strInFile = "D:\downloads\verypdf.html"
strOutFile = "D:\downloads\out.pdf"
strCmd = "-webkit -$ XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX -wtype 1 -wtext ""Watermark %PageNumber% of %PageCount%"" " & """" & strInFile & """ """ & strOutFile & """"

Set VeryPDFCom = Server.CreateObject("VeryPDF.doc2anyCom")
strReturn = VeryPDFCom.doc2any(strCmd)
Response.write "Processing finished."
--------------------------

>>First page has logo header and footer including page number
>>Second page has different header and same footer with page number.
>>Please provide samples in VB.

Thanks for your message, you can include different headers into HTML contents itself, and then convert this HTML file to PDF file using doc2any SDK product.

You can also convert a simple HTML file to PDF file first, and then use PDFStamp Command Line to stamp different header and footer contents to the PDF pages, you can control the everything to the text stamps, e.g., text position, color, font size, etc., you can also add image stamps using PDFStamp Command Line software. We hope this solution will useful to you.

PDFStamp Command Line can be downloaded from following web page,

How to use HTML2ANY to convert from HTML files to PDF files?

Posted on

Hi,

We're trying to run HTML2ANY to convert an HTML file to a PDF file, and after a few times we execute the command (totally random) it suddenly freezes.

We've ran it with the window/console open, and when it froze it appeared to just be stuck on "Waiting for file ", and wouldn't display the html file in the window right before creating it.

We'd appreciate your help in providing us was to test/debug this to understand what could be the reason behind this.

Thanks in advance.

How to use HTML2ANY to convert from HTML files to PDF files?
It seems the IE freeze in your system, please kill all instances of "iexplore.exe" process to try again.

also, we have following solutions for you to make your HTML to PDF conversion better,

Solution 1,
You can use "-printtopdf2" option to convert HTML file to PDF file, for example,

html2any.exe -printtopdf2 D:\out.pdf http://www.google.com

"-printtopdf2" does support synchronous conversion, you can use this option to convert more HTML files to PDF files at same time.

"-printtopdf2" does use Webkit Engine to render HTML files.

Solution 2,
You can use "-printtopdf" option to convert HTML file to PDF file, for example,

html2any.exe -printtopdf D:\out.pdf http://www.verypdf.com

"-printtopdf" option does use IE as HTML Render Engine, it will install a virtual printer at background, print the HTML file to this virtual printer to create PDF file, this option doesn't support synchronous conversion, so you need convert all HTML files to PDF files one by one.

We hope above two solutions will useful to you, you may give them a try.

Will doc2any server license overcome this problem? or still i need to install doc2anyruncommand com component?

please advise asap.

Customer
-------------------------------------------------------
Is this installation is necessary? this needs to update my code as well. can't this possible using command line directly I am using now? if its working directly using command line it would be better for me to use.

Its working with demo version i downloaded when i was researching doc2any command line software and i test this again with trial version of doc2any command line its working fine. why i need to install com component?

>Will doc2any server license overcome this problem? or still i need to install doc2anyruncommand com component?

Yes, you need purchase the Server License, the End User License is just for end customers who will use the software on their personal computers.

Yes, you need install VeryPDFComRunCmd.exe COM Component.

>>Is this installation is necessary? this needs to update my code as well. can't this possible using command line directly i am using now? if its working directly using command line it would be better for me to use.

No, you can't call the Command Line directly, because MS Office can't be run inside SYSTEM user account, you need use VeryPDFComRunCmd.exe COM Component to switch from SYSTEM user account to an interactive user account.

>>Its working with demo version i downloaded when i was researching doc2any command line software and i test this again with trial version of doc2any command line its working fine. why i need to install com component?

The com component is used to switch from SYSTEM user account to an interactive user account, this way will overcome the limitation of MS Office. However, if you can get Command Line works directly, you can also keep your work continue, so please don't worry about this matter.

VeryDOC
-------------------------------------------------------
My command line works directly on trial version and it's not working on register version of doc2any command line (end user license), why?

If I install VeryPDFComRunCmd.exe, will this change my code? Currently I am invoking doc2any.exe using "process.start()". Will the same work for COM component?

Thanks,
Customer
-------------------------------------------------------
If you will use VeryPDFComRunCmd.exe, you will need to change your source code, you need to call a COM instead of an EXE file, please refer to a simple ASP code at below,

<%

set VeryPDFCom = Server.CreateObject("VeryPDFCom.RunCmd")
dim nRetVal, bRet
bRet = VeryPDFCom.RunCmd("C:\windows\notepad.exe", 5, 0)
strRet = VeryPDFCom.RunCmd2("cmd /c dir C:\", 5)
Response.Write strRet & vbCrlf

%>

However, if you don't want to change your current source code, you can set MS Word DCOM run inside an interactive user account, please look at following web pages for more information,

https://www.verydoc.com/doc-to-any-faq.html
https://www.verydoc.com/blog/how-to-make-iis7-play-nice-with-office-interop.html

https://www.verydoc.com/others/configure-word-and-excel.htm

after you configure MS Word DCOM run inside an interactive user account, e.g., Administrator user account, you can use "process.start()" to run doc2any.exe from a service properly.
