How to call doc2any.exe from PHP source code?

2014/05/28

Dear Sir

I am evaluating your product and I require some help.
Our proposed portal is being developed in Php running on Tomcat.

The requirement:

A user loads a word / excel / ppt document. Let us say the user loads test.doc. The document is renamed to user1011.doc based on a logic and is uploaded in a directory called upload.

The first page of test.doc needs to be converted to a gif file user1011.gif. This should be saved in the upload folder.

This is what I have done so far:

Moved the following three files to the root directory of localhost: cimage.dll, doc2any.exe and pdftoolsdk.dll.

In the php program I placed the following codes relevant to doc2any.

$infile=$directory . $filname;
$outfile= "uploads/" . $docname . ".gif";
echo $infile; returns uploads/v.doc
echo "";
echo $outfile; returns uploads/v.gif
$timage=$dir .'\doc2any.exe -nooffice -pagerange 1 ' .$infile . $outfile;
$result = exec($timage) ;
if(! $result )
{
die('Problem with doc2any :: ' . mysql_error());
}

When executed I get an error message:

Problem with doc2any ::

Please let me know where I am going wrong.

Can I also convert the first page of a pdf upload?

What sort of licensing needs to be purchased? We plan to host this portal on Godaddy server sometime in July.

Appreciate your comeback.

Regards
Customer

pdf viewer ocx control

How to use PDF Viewer OCX (ActiveX Control) to view the PDF file from memory?

2014/05/162014/05/16

Is there any complete reference/documentation (website, Document or CHM-file) to the PDFView ActiveX control?

I have downloaded the free trial version of the control, to demo the features of the control to our customer, and would like to use the OpenPDFFromMem - method, but as I see is there only some examples to illustrate some of the features of the control.

Best regards
Customer
--------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your message, OpenPDFFromMem() function does open and view the PDF file from memory,

BOOL OpenPDFFromMem(long lpPDFData, long nPDFDataLen, LPCTSTR lpszUserPwd, LPCTSTR lpszOwnerPwd);

Please refer to following C++ example for this function,

void CSampleDlgDlg::OnBnClickedButtonOpen()

{

char szFilter[] ="PDF File (*.pdf)|*.pdf||";

CFileDialog fSaveDlg(TRUE,"","",

OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,

szFilter,this);

if(fSaveDlg.DoModal() != IDOK)

return;

CString strFileName = fSaveDlg.GetPathName();

#if 0

m_PDFViewer.OpenPDF(strFileName, "", "");

#else

//----------------------------------------------------------------

// Memory Open

//----------------------------------------------------------------

CString tmp = _T( "" );

HANDLE hFile = ::CreateFile( strFileName, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL );

if ( hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )

{

tmp.Format( _T( "CreateFile ERROR [CODE = %d]" ), GetLastError() );

AfxMessageBox( tmp );

return;

}

DWORD dwRead;

DWORD dwSize = ::GetFileSize( hFile, NULL );

BYTE* pBuffer = new BYTE[ dwSize ];

memset(pBuffer, 0, dwSize);

if ( !::ReadFile( hFile, (LPVOID)pBuffer, dwSize, &dwRead, NULL ) )

{

tmp.Format( _T( "ReadFile ERROR [CODE = %d]" ), GetLastError() );

AfxMessageBox( tmp );

::CloseHandle( hFile );

return;

}

::CloseHandle( hFile );

BOOL bRes = m_PDFViewer.OpenPDFFromMem((long)pBuffer, dwSize, "", "" );

if ( !bRes )

{

AfxMessageBox( _T( "Open error!" ) );

}

#endif

CString csCurrentPage = _T( "" );

csCurrentPage.Format( _T( "Current Page : %d" ), m_PDFViewer.GetCurrentPage() );

AfxMessageBox( csCurrentPage );

m_PDFViewer.SetMsgCallbackWnd((long)m_hWnd);

}
