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"));
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:
HtmlConvFileToFileinputfile
outputfile
For the .NET version of the program, compile the program in Visual Studio and run the program from the Export bin
directory:
HtmlConvFileToFile.exeinputfile
outputfile
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.
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.cshinputfile
outputfile
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.
