I need to develop a service able to convert MS Office and Open Office

  • 0

I need to develop a service able to convert MS Office and Open Office documents to PDF. And the PDF`s also need to be commentable when opened in ADOBE Reader.

I have used a piece of software from http://www.neevia.com. And it does the conversion, but is not able to make the PDF´s commentable and is therefore useless in my scenario.

Ideally I would like a piece of software that is monitoring a directory, and when a file is commited to that directory, the software detects this, fetches the file, converts it, and puts it in another directory. This way I can programmatically put the file I want converted in the IN folder and monitor the OUT folder to fetch the file when converted.

So do anyone know a piece of software capable of converting MS Office and Open Office files to commentable PDF`s?

    It sounds like you’re after the “Extend Features In Acrobat Reader” document rights feature that’s part of Acrobat Professional. If you want a programmatic way of doing it then Adobe LiveCycle is the only game in town. This is one of the features that Adobe keeps for itself and no third party is legally allowed to provide it.
