I want convert office files (DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, HTML) to PDF files from Windows Service

2016/03/012016/03/01

Hello,

I just bought a license for doc2any_cmd. When I start doc2any_cmd manually, it seems to work ok. But I wanted to call it from a windows service, so that it converts the files in the background.

When I start doc2any_cmd through my service (runs with the same user as it works normally), I get a different behavior.

Logfile when i start through the service:
…….
[OK] Open 'E:\webapps\R14620_Mautzusatz.docx' file successful.
[FAILED] Can't get DOC instances correctly.
[FAILED] Conversion failed, maybe you haven't MS Office or 'PDF and XPS SaveAs Add-in' installed.
Exit MS Office Add-in

when I start manually everything is ok:
[OK] Open 'E:\webapps\R14620_Mautzusatz.docx' file successful.
[OK] SaveAs to 'E:\webapps\work\R14620_Mautzusatz.pdf' file.
Exit MS Office Add-in

What does doc2any_cmd look for at this point? What does "[FAILED] Can't get DOC instances correctly." mean in this context?

thank you very much,
Customer
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks for your message, doc2any.exe is using MS Office to convert office files to PDF files, because MS Office can't be run from SYSTEM or Service user account, so you can't run doc2any.exe inside a Windows Service properly.

However, you can call "VeryPDFComRunCmd COM Component" from a Windows Service, and then call doc2any.exe application from "VeryPDFComRunCmd COM Component", this way will solve the MS Office's permission problem. Please refer to more information about "VeryPDFComRunCmd COM Component" from following web pages,

2015/12/24

Dear Sir / Mam,

I have downloaded your doc2any converter and tried to convert doc file to swf file, It is able to convert the file, but the swf file is getting converted into two frames, I want it in one single frame and all data into vector format usable with Action Script 3 and I don't want any kind of animation or code within the swf file.

Also, I have multiple doc files can doc2any convert all doc files within subfolders recursively at one command.

Please let me know, if the same is possible.

PDF Compressor

How to use PDF Compressor SDK/COM? I have gotten "Unexpected error; quitting" when I try to register PDFCompressCom.exe

2015/12/09

Hello,

I'm downloading the PDF Compressor SDK/COM from here,

https://www.verydoc.com/dl2.php/pdfcompressor_sdk.zip

but when I unzip the file and try to execute PDFCompressCom.exe (from pdfcompressor_sdk\bin\PDFCompressCom.exe ), I received the error "Unexpected error; quitting".

The same happened when running the install.bat - file (Following the next article),

https://www.verydoc.com/blog/how-to-test-pdf-compressor-sdk-from-c-source-code.html

But without this, when I tried to run the sample in the .zip - file, I'm receiving the error "An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Value cannot be null."

This is because VeryPDFType is null after the line,

System.Type VeryPDFType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("VeryPDF.PDFCompressCom");

Can you send me the fixed .exe, or any workaround, because I'm interested of your products and first want to try it in my applications?

Thanks!
Customer

Please run a cmd window by administrator privilege, and then run following command line, then you will able to register PDFCompressCom.exe properly,

PDFCompressCom.exe /regserver

PDF Viewer OCX Control

PDF Viewer SDK for Windows 10 and iOS Mobile

2015/12/09

Hello,

We are developing a Windows 10 Universal app in which we would like to integrate a pdf view. In this view, we need the pdf rendering (with all usual features like pinch zoom, swipe to change pages etc. ...), access to documents bookmarks, handwrite annotations and document saving (with new annotations).

The professional version of your "VeryPDF PDF for Mobile SDK" seem to do all we need.

Do you have a trial version of the SDK, or windows app samples we could use to test the sdk?

Thank you for you answers.

Best regards
Customer

Thank you for your quick answer,

I already installed the iPad app, but I can't really test the features I need.

In fact when I try to open the sample pdf (pdfeditor.pdf), clicking on the "View PDF" menu, it doesn't work. I'm only able to open the pdf by clicking the "QuickLook" menu.

So I have no bookmarks and no annotations possibilities.

Don't you have any sample for windows 10? I would like to see how the rendering is on a MS surface.

Regarding the license, we would first need a professional version for one application, and we will need a second license shortly for another application.

For the problem of "View PDF" menu on iPad, can you please let me know what version of iOS system are you using? we will research this problem quickly.

VeryDOC
-------------------------------------------
Hi,

I will tell you the iOS version on which it's not working later today. I don't have it with me.
I've been able to have it work on a iPad2 with iOS 7. The rendering is OK but I can't see the bookmarks, and I can't test the annotations feature.

With the ActiveX, the rendering is OK, the bookmarks also, but we cannot test the annotations. Do you have some documentation for the ActiveX so we can test that ?

Don't you have any test/trial/restricted version of the VeryPDF PDF for Mobile SDK ? We really must test the few features we need before buying it.

Thx
Customer
-------------------------------------------
Our "AnyFile Viewer for iOS" is not support bookmarks and annotations yet, we will support them in the next minor version.

PDF Reader OCX does support bookmarks and annotations, if you can't get them work, please send to us your sample PDF file, we will test your PDF file and come back to you asap.

Sorry, we haven't a trial version for "VeryPDF PDF for Mobile SDK" yet, in the meantime, you can test PDF Viewer function in the "AnyFile Viewer for iOS" app, if you need some special features, please feel free to let us know, we will add these features and provide a new version to you asap, we hope this solution will okay to you.

VeryDOC

Hello,

The iOS version on which it's not working is iOS 9.1.

Regarding the ActiveX, we just want a technical documentation, so we can see how to call the methods.

As I told you, the rendering and the bookmarks are working.

For the annotations, we found a method called "EnableAnnotations", but it has no effect. It's not a pdf problem, we just don't know how to call this in our code.

Do you have a pdf or html or online documentation ?
