Makes a hash converting to .doc or .rtf

what's the point in exporting to .doc or .rtf if there is no
fidelity to buzzword original?

Thanks for the posting!
In answer to your question, the point of exporting to .doc or
.rtf is so you can move your content from one system (Buzzword) to
another (e.g., Word, OpenOffice.org, or Pages). When moving a
document from one system to another, one can’t expect page
fidelity, as each product uses a different layout engine.
If page fidelity is important, you should export to Adobe
PDF, as that is the only way to guarantee it. Of course, the
resultant PDF will not be editable.
I hope this answers your question.

  • Is it possible to convert *.doc to *.rtf in a java program?

    Hi :-)
    My challenge is to develop a web-app in ADF Faces. Now i verify some technologies to store mailmerge letters in an easy way. The user of my web-app should upload a MS Word mailmerge document and a csv data source file. My web-app must thereupon convert this two files to a pdf per csv-row and store it to a ftp.
    I have build a demo using the open office API. But now i want to try the same by using apache POI and FOP. I can merge the doc files with POI and i can create PDF with FOP.
    My problem is, that POI cant convert to a rtf file and FOP uses an rtf file to create a pdf. I dont know, if its possible to convert a doc file to a rtf file. If its possible, is there an API, which will help me out?
    Regards
    Majo
    btw...I am not sure, if its the right forum for my question :-/

    HeHe, no sorry. The binary file is the same, because Windows bind doc and rtf with MS Word, it opens the file, which you have renamed to *.rtf in MS Word. But as a doc document, not as a rtf file ;-)
    And i dont want to open the rtf file in MS Word. I want to process the rtf file in java.
    Thanks

  • Convert doc to rtf or doc to html

    Is there any approach to convert the doc files to html or rtf format? The appache poi just provides the read facilities not the converting facilities.
    It's not the problem to convert from rtf to html using XSL transformation.
    But what about doc to rtf. Probably there already written solutions using poi or smth. else?

    Two projects that spring to mind are Apache POI and Apache FOP.
    POI:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html
    FOP:
    http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
    Either way, you are in for some tough development if you want to do this using Java, and you might want to consider switch to a more suitable platform such as .NET. Word documents are highly microsoft specific so you will want to use a microsoft platform to work with them for the least amount of headaches and risks.

    Hi there Katie,
    I just checked your account, and see that it's active. Are you trying to sign in via Adobe Reader? If so, please choose Help > Check for Updates in Reader and make sure that it-s up-to-date. The most current version, 11.0.07, should alleviate that sign-in error.
    Best,

  • How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB flash drive?

    How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB Flash Drive?

    I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to do.  Possibly post on the Microsoft forums as DOS was their product?
    Perhaps if you provide a bit more detail about what you have now and what you're trying to do with it (desired end result), I might be able to make another suggestion.

  • I downloaded adobe reader XI Free trial for 30 days and want to try Convert to DOC function but fail, please help!

    When I click the button Subscribe now, it return: "Sorry, this Adobe product is currently not available for sale in your country."
    That means I cannot Convert to DOC function??

    Adobe Reader is free; there is no trial.
    Regarding the ExportPDF service; see https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2596
    If ExportPDF is not available in your country, you will need to use Acrobat to convert; there is a 30-day trial available for Acrobat.
    If you do have the Acrobat trial install, make sure you open the PDF to convert in Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

  • How to save to .doc or .rtf without loosing formatting

    Hi, I have to submit academic assignments with either .doc or .rtf file extensions. However, in the University there is a protocol for headers and footers so that the assignment is anonymous and when quoting from reference documents we have to indent paragraphs. When writing this is pages and exporting to .doc or .rtf all of the formatting gets lost. If I submit these without the right formatting, I will get marked down. They will not accept .pdf, which works OK - how can I save in .doc or .rtf without loosing the formatting?

    Hi Peter Breis, you have suggested soemthing that works which is the first line and left paragraph indents but this still does not work with tabs. The .rtf is not a solution becaue of the need for headers and footers (with pages numbers). In the .rtf file they just appear at the end of the text rather than a header and footer.
    Anyway, in summary, thank you Peter, you have given me a solution that works which is to indent using first line and left paragraph indents and to export into a .doc document. The headers and footers export without a problem using this method. I will nominate all the extra marks that I will get from following the University's protocol to you!, Thanks!

  • Retriving .doc and .rtf files in soap attachments

    Please help me
    I'm using JAXM to retrive soap attachments
    When i retrive txt files (.txt) it retrivs the content of the document
    without any problem but when i try to retrive .doc or rtf
    it gives content as
    java.io.FileInputStream@587c94
    (retrive attached files which are recived from client)
    how do i get the content from word or rtf document
    this is the way i tried to get the content
    while (it.hasNext()) {
    AttachmentPart ap = (AttachmentPart)it.next();
    contentType = ap.getContentType();
    content =(String)ap.getContent();
    p.println("content---->"+content);//wrriting to text file
    System.out.println("*** attachment content: " + content);
    thanks nams

    Here is the code I used to send and receive a PDF file as a SOAP attachment. Note that if the sender uses a DataHandler for the attachment's content, there's no need to set the MIME type explicitly because the DataHandler does it for you.
    * Sender
    // create the data source and data handler
    DataSource source = new FileDataSource("form.pdf");
    DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(source);
    // create attachment for message
    AttachmentPart attachment = message.createAttachmentPart(handler);
    // set content id (optional)
    attachment.setContentId("enrollment_form");
    // add attachment to message
    message.addAttachmentPart(attachment);
    // send message
    providerConnection.send(message);
    * Recipient
    public class Receiver extends JAXMServlet implements OnewayListener {
       public void onMessage(SOAPMessage message) {
          // get attachment
          Iterator it = message.getAttachments();
          AttachmentPart attachment = (AttachmentPart) it.next();
          if (attachment.getContentType().equals("application/pdf")) {
              // read contents into byte buffer
              ByteArrayInputStream contentStream =
                  (ByteArrayInputStream)attachment.getContent();
              // use standard Java I/O methods to save in file
              int bytesToRead = contentStream.available();
              byte[] buffer = new byte[bytesToRead];
              contentStream.read(buffer);
              // write buffer to new file
              FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("form.pdf");
              file.write(buffer);
              file.close();
              log("Attachment " + attachment.getContentId() + " with type "
                  + attachment.getContentType() + " written to form.pdf");
          else {
              log("attachment content has MIME type " + attachment.getContentType()
                + ", Java type " + attachment.getContent().getClass());
    }

  • Generate Sapscript and convert to DOC

    Hello everyone,
    I need to generate a. DOC through SAPscript and then save this file in C: \ of the machine.
    Can anyone help me?

    It may depend on how you did the OCR. On AA 9, I generally use the Searchable Image for setting up the conversion to DOC. I do not remember there being a selection of font types in AA 9 for ClearScan and the result is not a standard font, but a created font that does not convert to DOC (newer versions offer font choices with ClearScan I think). Also, the ability to do the OCR depends on the quality of the copy (or a lot of editing will be needed). There are several things that can be happening in the process and it is not clear what you have done, or the quality of your original. OCR has tended to improve with each version of Acrobat. I was fairly impressed with XI when I got it.
