Applescript batch convert DOC to TXT with line breaks

Hey guys, I recently got stuck at work having to convert over 1,000 DOC files to TXT files with line breaks.
I've found online several different Applescripts that work great at converting DOC files to TXT files but I can't find one that will do the TXT files with line breaks.
If anyone has a script that can do this I would be crazy grateful.
Converting these one by one with Word is taking forever to do.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Excuse me for a moment for speaking harshly to you. You are causing yourself utterly unnecessary headaches by not being clear with us and not stopping to think, and it's high time you learned that that is an incorrect way to approach anything on a computer. Consider:
you don't know what you're doing (in the sense that you don't know what 'text with line breaks' means)
you don't know (or at least haven't explained) why this needs to be done
(therefore) you don't know if this needs to be done at all
(and yet) you are doing it anyway, in a mindlessly repetitive fashion, driving yourself batty and irritating me
At least for the time being, humans are the ones who think and computers the ones who grunt away mindlessly; try to reverse those roles and everything gets done badly and slowly. Stop, look, think, plan ahead - that's what your brain is good at if you give it a chance.
Now, as far as I can tell from poking around the web, 'text only with line breaks' means that the document is saved as a plain-text file, but with a carriage return linefeed combination (CR/LF) as a paragraph delimiter (this is a Windows format - unix uses a single linefeed, Macs might use a single carriage return or a single linefeed). I don't know why anyone would want that format - most software will convert that seamlessly (or at least can be told to convert that). Are you trying to feed this into some dinosaur of a database? At any rate, if that's what you want, this script should do it. caution, this script overwrites the original files; I suggest you make a copy of one or two files in a separate folder, and run the script on them first to check that the output works for whatever reason you're doing this:
set baseFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder of files to process"
tell application "Finder"
          set fileList to (every file of baseFolder whose name extension is "txt") as alias list
end tell
repeat with thisFile in fileList
          set itsText to read thisFile
          if (offset of (return & linefeed) in itsText) = 0 then
-- file is not already formatted with CR/LF, so convert
                    set itsChunks to tid(itsText, {return, linefeed})
                    set itsNewText to tid(itsChunks, return & linefeed)
                    set fp to open for access thisFile with write permission
                    set eof of fp to 0
write itsNewText to fp as text
close access fp
          end if
end repeat
on tid(input, delim)
-- handler for text items conversions
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input
          end if
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
          return output
end tid

Convertion of Microsoft .doc to .txt

Hello there,
Could any give my some ideas on how to use Java to open a Miscroft document ".doc" then save it (or convert it) as a plain text ".txt"? I know you can do it using MS " word" via save as. But it would be quite a hassel if you are opening and closing a thousand documents. I want to do some document convertion and re-generation. Any help would be very much appericated.
Thanks
Sam

Hello there,
The reason I was try to convert .doc to .txt is because I want to further manipulate the data.... in fact I am trying to convert .doc to .html. The MS word has a function can "save as" a html doc.... but the formatting is really WIRED. Everything was flying around all over the places. SO I thouhg if you can convert it into .txt...then it would be easier to add html tags and format it nicely and automatically..... then maybe using forntpage or dreamwaver to further "decorate" the .html....
Someone suggets to use macro in frontpage to do the job, but the thing is...I am not familer with VBS. So I thought of Java. But then I am going to do LOTS of document convertion and I am not sure using the POI is convenient or apporiate....Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Sam

Error in converting *.doc to *.pdf

Running winXP home sp2, adobe pro 7.1.0
This problem has started suddenly.
When converting *.doc to *.pdf a window titled AcroDist.exe-Application Error comes up:
"0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x0218ebbc". The memory could not be "read".
Acrobat stops and can only be stopped from the Task Manager. Try to print something in *.pdf -- same thing happens.
Anyone, any suggestions? I would be thankful.
joeZy

Gloria Mc,
This occurs with all .doc, Excel, .rtf, .txt (even when trying to print .pdf from a txt software like notepad. It does not occur with picture format files like .jpg or .tiff. I also can combine .pdf files.
As far as JR's question, if I generate a .prn file and drop it in AcroDist (Distiller), it tries to open Distiller and the same error message comes up.
All other functions of AA7 seem to work, only when trying to convert document files to .pdf is there a problem.
If I try to bring up Distiller by itself (no file), the same error occurs.
I'm still willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for your interest.

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,
I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
Thanks and Regards
only1Vinay

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

Javascript in .PDF's - Extracting text from .doc or .txt

Hello All,
I am very new to javascript in .pdfs -- but I seem to find my around doing misc. work with forms. What I need:
I need a Form with a Submit button that locates and extracts the text from a file and places it into another field.
Example:
on Server:
one.txt or one.doc
two.txt or two.doc,
...etc
You type one in the form and submit -- it pulls all of the txt from one.txt off the server and places it into a field.
Also if there is anyway to do this with tables to avoid multiple files that would be even better.
I know I am a newbie, but this would be a game-changer for what I do.
Thank you.

Thanks for the advice
It is accessing a shared file server (among employees) and it is to be a .pdf used in Adobe Acrobat Professional
Basically I want it to be a form that pulls txt based on what was in the typed box or drop-down menu from a .txt or .doc

How to convert .doc files to .docx in a sharepoint library programmatically.

Is there any possibility to Convert .doc files to .docx in a sharepoint document library.
I have thousands and lakhs of .doc files and I need to automate to convert those .doc files to .docx with an automation script or powershell script or doing it programmatically.
Can someone help me get through this.
Thanks
Gayatri

Hello Gayatri,
You can convert files from doc to docx using following options
Option 1
in bulk using Office File Converter (OFC) and Version Extraction Tool. Please refer below url for reference - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179019.aspx
Option 2 - PowerShell
please refer url -http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2008/09/19/bulk-convert-doc-to-docx.aspx
Convert DOC to DOCX using PowerShell
I was tasked with taking a large number of .DOC and .RTF files and converting them to .DOCX. The files were then going to be imported into a SharePoint site. So I went out on the web looking for PowerShell scripts to accomplish this. There are plenty to
choose from.
All the examples on the web were the same with some minor modifications. Most of them followed this pattern:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()
After trying out several I started to convert some test documents. All went well until the files were uploaded to SharePoint. The .RTF files were fine but even though the .DOC fiels were now .DOCX files they did not allow for all the functionality of .DOCX
to be used.
After investigating a little further it turns out that when doing a conversion from .DOC to .DOCX the files are left in compatibility mode. The files are smaller, but they don’t allow for things like coauthors.
So back to the drawing board and the web and I found a way to set compatibility mode off. The problem was that it required more steps including saving and reopening the files. In order to use this method I had to add a compatibility mode object:
$CompatMode = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdCompatibilityMode], “wdWord2010″)
And then change the code inside the {} from above to:
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
$converteddoc = get-childitem $savename
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($converteddoc.FullName)$opendoc.SetCompatibilityMode($compatMode);
$opendoc.save()
$opendoc.close()
It worked, but I didn’t like it. So back to the web again and this time I stumbled across the real way to do it. Use the Convert method. No one else seems to have used this in any of the examples but it is a much cleaner way to do it then the compatibility
mode setting. So this is how I changed my code and now all the files come in to SharePoint as true .DOCX files.
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$word.Convert()
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()

Converting .DOC, .XSL filo to PDF

Hi all,
currently I am looking for a Java API which would be able to convert DOC and XSL files to PDF file + adding bookmark information into both files also. I am not interested in solutions using hidden instances of some applications like Jacob (using MS Word instance) or OpenOffice SDK (using OpenOffice.org appl.) as it is the problem I am trying to avoid.
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Frank
P.S.: I am a newie in here so I hope I didn't "do" anything against rules... :)

You can not. the best you can do is use something like POI to give an approx. render of the page, and spit it out to PDF, or using a native word view, and script it in some way to print to a PDF.
