convert word doc to pdf

I have to convert word doc to pdf file use asp net.

I think maybe it possible make report in the report services, and then save them in pdf format.

but I dont know if I can make report from doc file.
and also if I can get the url of the file by query string.

Is it possible?

thanks!try again......|||

Do you have static Word documents that need 1-time conversion, or do you have Word documents that represent report styles or definitions that you want to export to PDF regularly with different data? In the first case, I'd say RS is not the right tool. In the second case, I think you'll get good results by designing the report definition from scratch using Report Designer, using the Word documents as prototypes.

Convert report in PDF Format

Hi,

I have three differents sub-reports, each one inside a table object.

Each table has a property "page break-before" enable.

When I execute the view-report in HTML 4.0 format, the reports are executed with success, but when I export to PDF format, the property "page break-before" inserts a blank page at the end of each sub-report. How can I do to suppress the blank-pages when exporting to PDF format ?

Hi Nitini-

Without the .rdl I can't be sure, but here are few things to check. In general be aware that the behavior for defining pages is different between HTML and PDF. PDF has a strict restriction on where page breaks are defined, while HTML can be broken (essentially) at any point.

(1) The page break is defined at the table vs. the table group level.
(2) Blank space - often times unintentionally having blank space can lead to extra pages (as blacnk space is preserved).
(3) Note that page breaks in subreports are not used.
(4) Overlapping items, HTML will move items that are overlapping, PDF will not.

Hope that helps,

Convert Microsoft Word XML to PDF without using Microsoft Word

Hi all,

I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.

Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client’s information.In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.

What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.

I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.

Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

This really isn't the right forum for this question. You might consider one of the Office forums located here.
