Convert Microsoft Word documents using WordGlue.NET WordGlue is a generic rendering engine for DOC and DOCX files. Use it to convert Word documents to XPS, PNG, JPEG and more. Support for SVG, HTML and other formats can be added by extending WordGlue through an easy to use interface. Used in conjunction with our ABCpdf component, WordGlue makes Word document to PDF conversion a doddle. WordGlue is self-contained and does not rely on Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org. Although leveraging the power of Microsoft Office has been an acceptable method in the past, it's less than ideal for server-side automation. Office is primarily designed as an interactive application, which tends to mean a single process and single threaded model. Server-side components on the other hand need to be multi-threaded and highly re-entrant components with a high throughput and minimal overhead for multiple clients. In most respects Office applications are the exact opposite. And when something unexpected happens Office will attempt to alert the user by displaying a dialog. We'll let you guess what happens when an interactive desktop doesn't exist. WordGlue is our no-compromise solution for automating DOC and DOCX conversions. Try out WordGlue.NET for free. Like all our software components WordGlue includes a trial period and will operate without any restriction for the first thirty days. |
