How to convert from office files to PDF files, HTML files and Image files from a Web Service?

2015/09/19

Hi,

You seem to have a million PDF to X and X to PDF converters. However I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find something that can convert office documents to HTML from the command line. I thought https://www.verydoc.com/doc-to-any.html would work, but cannot see how to output to HTML. I want to try to see the quality of the HTML output.

thanks

Hi,

I've been testing this. I'm finding that Excel to PNG just freezes the whole Windows 7 machine. Is this a known bug.

Do you have another product that is more stable at converting office files to PNGs?

Customer
---------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your message, you can run following command lines to convert your office files to PNG files with stable conversion,

doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.doc D:\out.png
doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.docx D:\out.png
doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.xls D:\out.png
doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.xlsx D:\out.png
doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.ppt D:\out.png
doc2any.exe -useprinter -useoffice 1 D:\test.pptx D:\out.png

Hi,

Yes, that works better. However the PNGs produced from an Excel file are rotated at the wrong angle - in the print preview the sheets are set to landscape, but doc2any produces them vertically. Can it not auto detect stuff like this? Also there are a lot of blank pages/images produced, there are 3 tabs and one of which is long, but it seems to produce the blank areas of the other tabs.

kind regards
Customer

Hi,

Any question - is doc2any the fastest tool you have for converting Office Docs to PDFs via the virtual printer? Do you have anything quicker or more suited?

many thanks
Customer
---------------------------------------------------------
Yes, doc2any.exe is the fastest tool to convert office files to PDF files with or without virtual printer, we haven't another quicker tool yet.

VeryDOC
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok thanks,

I've decided to go the PDF root rather than PNGs. I'll need to call the doc2any from c# rest Web Service. I see there is VeryPDFComRunCmd - can I use this? Do you have any C# examples? I need to be able to pass the doc and then get the result and the file produced.

Which would be best?

Also can you provide the correct link to buy as I find the website hard to find the correct product.

thanks
Customer

Yes, you can call doc2any.exe from your C# code by VeryPDFComRunCmd, this can be done easily, please look at following web pages for more information,

PCL, PS, PDF Page Counter

PDF Page Counter SDK, Pages BW or Color, how to get color, gray, black and white color information from PDF, PS, PCL, PRN, SPL-EMF, etc. spool file formats?

2015/09/15

Dear,

We bought the Spool File Page Counter SDK Server License last year.

In VC, we change the code "printf" by "fprintf" meaning out to a file.
But the information as :
"Page 1 is [Color]
Page 2 is [Color]
Page 3 is [ BW]"
etc. ...
always "print" on the console !

On the VeryDOC knowledge base:

you wrote :
"In the demo version, the following information is printed to console only" ... "after you purchase it, we will send a new version of SDK to you, you will able to get color information for each page from SDK easily, the demo version hasn’t this function yet."

==> Please can you send us the good one version of the SDK.
Regards
Customer

How to call "PS2Image.PS2ImageClass" from ASP source code to convert from PS files to image files?

2015/06/30

Hello,

I purchased a license for PS2IMG this morning but I don't get the COM component to work on a 64bit Windows 2008 R2 server.

First, after purchasing the component I downloaded the ZIP from the URL in your confirmation mail ( https://www.verydoc.com/download/ps2imgsdk.zip ) but when I unpacked it and ran test.bat it kept saying 'Evaluation version of the PDF/PS Converter SDK product'.

I continued anyway installing the component using COM-DLL-x64-install.bat. It installs fine and confirms the DLL is successfully registered. But when I try to initiate it from ASP:

set ps2imgObj = Server.CreateObject("PS2Image.PS2ImageClass")

it returns:

006~ASP 0177~Server.CreateObject Failed~800401f3

After reading some faq's on your website i tried one more thing, to use 'ps2imgcom.exe'. After uninstalling the first try (COM-DLL-x64-uninstall.bat) I unpacked your ZIP in C:\Program Files\ps2imgsdk\ and ran in de bin directory ps2imgcom.exe /regserver. But now Server.CreateObject("PS2Image.PS2ImageClass") returns:

006~ASP 0178~Server.CreateObject Access Error~The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

I gave the Windows 'users' user group full control over the C:\Program Files\ps2imgsdk\ directory.

Now I don't know what to try anymore, do you have suggestions for me to get it running?

Thanks!
Customer
------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your message.

You need set permission to "PS2Image.PS2ImageClass" in your system first, if you don't know how to do, please look at following web page,

https://www.verydoc.com/doc-to-any-faq.html

In this example, please assume "Your COM Name" is "PS2Image.PS2ImageClass", please allow "Everyone" user to access to this COM component, then you can call it from your ASP application properly.
