This program converts an input file to an output file using Java API calls in HTML Export, and a template file. See Set Conversion Options by Using the Template Files for more information on template files. The program is available in C# (HtmlConvFileToFile.cs) for .NET and Java (HtmlConvFileToFile.java).
This program demonstrates the following functions:
Extracts file format information (document type, format, and version) if it is available in the source document.
Extracts metadata if it is available in the source document. Although the program extracts all the metadata in the document, it displays only the first element of metadata.
Displays a list of the files that are automatically generated during the conversion.
Configures the PDF reader used in the conversion. See Convert PDF Files to Raster Images.
The basic PDF reader (pdfsr) is used by default in the sample program. To specify that the graphic-based PDF reader is to be used to convert PDF documents, remove the comment from the following line in the HtmlConvFileToFile.java file:
objHtmlExport.setConfigOption(new ConfigOption(HtmlExport.CFG_SETHIFIPDF, 1, null));
Specifies the directory in which temporary files created during conversion processes are stored. To specify the temporary directory, remove the comment from the following line in the HtmlConvFileToFile.java file:
objHtmlExport.setConfigOption(new ConfigOption(Export.CFG_SETTEMPDIRECTORY, 0, "C:\\tmp"));
NOTE: On Windows systems, there is a 64 K size limit to the temporary directory. After the limit is reached, you must either create a new directory or delete the contents of the existing directory; otherwise, you might receive an error message.
Extracts elements from a source XML file based on the extraction settings in the kvxconfig.ini file. See Convert XML Files.
To run HtmlConvFileToFile on Windows
For the Java version of the program, set INSTALL_DIR to the Export SDK installation directory in the HtmlConvFileToFile.bat file.
In the first line of the HtmlSampleConfig_nt.txt file, specify the path to the template file used in the conversion. You can use the template files in the install\htmlexport\programs\ini directory, where install is the path name of the Export installation directory. If you are processing XML files, specify the location of the kvxconfig.ini file. This is in the bin directory.
In the second line of the HtmlSampleConfig_nt.txt file, specify the path to the Export SDK\bin directory.
Copy HtmlSampleConfig_nt.txt to HtmlSampleConfig.txt.
For the Java version of the program, run the batch file in the install\javaapi\sample directory. Type the following:
HtmlConvFileToFileinputfileoutputfile
For the .NET version of the program, compile the program in Visual Studio and run the program from the Export bin directory:
HtmlConvFileToFile.exeinputfileoutputfile
where:
inputfile is the path and file name of the source file.
outputfile is the path and file name of the generated HTML file.
To run HtmlConvFileToFile on UNIX
In the HtmlConvFileToFile.csh file, set MKENV to the platform on which you are running, either _hpux11, _ilnx21, _rs6k43, or _ssol26.
In the HtmlConvFileToFile.csh file, set INSTALL_DIR to the Export installation directory.
In the first line of the HtmlSampleConfig_unix.txt file, specify the path to the template file used in the conversion. You can use the template files in the install/htmlexpt/programs/unix/ini, where install is the path name of the Export installation directory. If you are processing XML files, specify the location of the kvxconfig.ini file. This is stored in the bin directory.
In the second line of the HtmlSampleConfig_unix.txt file, specify the path to the ExportSDK/bin directory.
NOTE: If you have copied the HtmlSampleConfig_unix.txt and C shell file from a Windows system or edited the files on a Windows system, remove the carriage returns from these files. You can use a utility such as the ColdFusion function stripcr() (http://www.macromedia.com) to do this. This step is not required if the files are taken from the UNIX installation.
Run the C shell file in the install/javaapi/sample directory. Type the following:
./HtmlConvFileToFile.cshinputfileoutputfile
where:
inputfile is the path and file name of the source file.
outputfile is the path and file name of the generated HTML file.
If a path is not specified, the HTML file is output to the current directory.
