asp_web_howto thread: Converting MS Word to PDF format


Message #1 by Aaron.Mintz@d... on Tue, 22 May 2001 10:43:18 -0400
Does anyone have any asp code that converts Word files to PDF?

The site I'm working on allows users to have work-in-progress word fi

les

stored on the server, but once archived I would like to convert the f

iles to

pdf for viewing only.



Thanks,



Aaron

Just a little bit more functionality but the same concepts.

Is there any way to do this without having activePDF server?  If not, 

does

anyone know much about activePDF server, and would it be worth 

investing in?



Thanks,



Aaron

Yes, there are other ways to do this.  You could write your own program 

to

do this, but I don't think you will be able to do it effectively only 

using

a scripting language.  You could buy Adobe Acrobat and have a manual 

process

to covert the documents. You could find a program that does single or 

batch

converts on NT and evoke that over the web using scripting.



The technical information on how to create a PDF file is enormous.  

Look

here for technical information.

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs.html.  To me the 

most

cost effective way is to find all the third party product that convert 

word

documents (web or not) and then figure out how each one could be 

implemented

and pick the best method for the purpose (web or not).  Try looking for 

any

programs that can convert word documents, then see if any of those can 

be

evoked using asp.



I'm not sure how many third party products are out there. I've had some

experience using activePDF server, and it does work. You may not need 

all

the products activePDF server offers.  Not knowing how your process 

works to

archive your word documents. You may only want their doc converter and

invoke a batch process twice a day.
