Hi,
We tried “DOC to Any Converter Command Line” and it does exactly what we need. COOL!
We downloaded the zip file from (“doc2any_cmd”),
http://www.verydoc.com/doc2any_cmd.zip
and then we downloaded this file too (“VeryPDFComRunCmd”):
http://www.verypdf.com/dl2.php/VeryPDFComRunCmd.zip
We like to know if the second zip is required or not. In fact we tried to launch the first application in this way from an ASP page:
set oShell = Server.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
oShell.Run “C:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe C:\test.doc C:\out.pdf”
and it worked correctly!.
With “VeryPDFComRunCmd” the only advantage is to obtain the result of the program execution? Or is it required?

Thanks for your message, if “WScript.Shell” is work fine to you, you needn’t the VeryPDFComRunCmd COM again, you can simple forget the VeryPDFComRunCmd COM software.
VeryPDFComRunCmd COM is used when you haven’t enough permission to call an EXE from ASP page, however, if your ASP page has enough permission to run the EXE, so you needn’t use VeryPDFComRunCmd COM again.

Hi,
I’m trying doc to any converter in asp.net, run application using IIS, but only can be converting files jpg and tif, while the microsoft office files can not be converted, what the problem ?
Thanks,
Customer

If your system has MS Office installed, you can run following command lines to convert office files to PDF files,
doc2any.exe C:\in.doc C:\out.pdf
doc2any.exe C:\in.ppt C:\out.pdf
doc2any.exe C:\in.xls C:\out.pdf
doc2any.exe C:\in.docx C:\out.pdf
doc2any.exe C:\in.pptx C:\out.pdf
doc2any.exe C:\in.xlsx C:\out.pdf
If your system has OpenOffice installed, but without MS Office installed, you can run following command lines to convert office files to PDF files,
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.doc” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.docx” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.xls” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.xlsx” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.ppt” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -useopenoffice “C:\test.pptx” “C:\out.pdf”
If your system hasn’t both MS Office and OpenOffice installed, you can run following command lines to convert office files to PDF and other files,
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.doc” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.docx” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.xls” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.xlsx” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.ppt” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.pptx” “C:\out.pdf”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.doc” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.docx” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.xls” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.xlsx” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.ppt” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.pptx” “C:\out.html”
doc2any.exe -nooffice “C:\test.docx” “C:\out.doc”

You can use VeryPDFComRunCmd.exe COM interface to call doc2any.exe application, after you give enough permissions to VeryPDFComRunCmd, you can use it to call doc2any.exe application, for example,
<%
set VeryPDFCom = Server.CreateObject(“VeryPDFCom.RunCmd”)
dim nRetVal, bRet
strRet = VeryPDFCom.RunCmd2(“D:\VeryPDF\doc2any.exe D:\test.doc D:\out.pdf”, 5)
Response.Write strRet & vbCrlf
%>
