OfficeToPDF

Giving back to the community

Cognidox would not exist without the help of many open source projects. Perl, Apache and Solr are just a few of the excellent open source packages that help make CogniDox a leading document management system. So, to show our appreciation, we've released a couple of open source projects such as OfficeToPDF to help others.

OfficeToPDF - what does it do?

.NET Framework 4
Office 2016, 2013, 2010 or Office 2007

If you are using Office 2007, you will also need:

Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime [Download]
2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS [Download]

It is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Supported File Types

The following file types can be converted:

Word (.doc, .dot, .docx, .dotx, .docm, .dotm, .rtf, .wpd)
Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xlt, .xltx, .xltm, .csv)
Powerpoint (.ppt, .pptx, .pptm, .pps, .ppsx, .ppsm, .pot, .potx, .potm)
Visio (.vsd, .vsdx, .vsdm, .svg) [Requires >= Visio 2013 for .svg, .vsdx and .vsdm support]
Publisher (.pub)
Outlook (.msg, .vcf, .ics)
Project (.mpp) [Requires Project >= 2010 for .mpp support]
OpenOffice (.odt, .odp, .ods)

Conversion of Visio, Publisher and Project files require that the Visio, Publisher and Project applications are installed. These are not included in the Office standard package.

Instructions

In order to use the tool, download the officetopdf.exe file and, from the command line, run officetopdf.exe with two arguments - the source Office document and the destination PDF document. e.g.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\test> officetopdf.exe somefile.docx somefile.pdf
