When running as a OmniFormat as a Service you may need to change the logon account from Local System to Local Administrator for the OmniFormat Service.
OmniFormat may be used to dynamically convert XML data to any output format supported by OmniFormat including PDF. A Microsoft Word file is used as a template to supply layout information. OmniFormat replaces fields in the Word template with values specified in the XML file. Next it converts the document to the final format.
Sample (acme.xml):
<ORDER
OutputFile="c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf"
WordTemplate="c:\templates\invoice template.doc"
CompanyName="Acme Corporation Inc."
Address1="345 Garden Avenue"
Address2="San Gorge, CA 94301"
Item1="Widgets"
Quantity1="2"
Price1="500"
Item2=""
Quantity2=""
Price2=""
Total="500"
/>
OmniFormat will process acme.xml by
1. Substitution of the name-value pairs into "c:\templates\invoice template.doc" followed by
2. Conversion to c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf. The template file is not modified by the process. "OutputFile" and "WordTemplate" are reserved names.
Note: PdfEdit995 may be used to batch convert Microsoft Office documents to PDF.
OmniFormat uses Word to convert from HTML and MHTML by default. HTML2PDF995 uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer control. It is faster and more accurate than Word for rendering and printing of HTML and MHTML. Adding "Use HTML2PDF995=1" (Do not include the quotes) to the [OmniFormat] section of ..\pdf995\res\pdf995.ini will configure OmniFormat to use HTML2PDF995 instead. In addition, HTML2PDF995 may be called from other applications or the command line to convert HTML to PDF by passing the full path or URL of the desired file to be converted.
Header text, footer text and margins should be specified in the Internet Explorer-File-Page Setup dialog.
Provided Excel is installed, if Omniformat cannot convert XLS to PDF, it is unable to find the PDF995 printer. Either set PDF995 as the default system printer or add
System on=on
to the [Parameters] section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini. The default value is "on". Try changing to "en" or the corresponding word in the Operating System's default language.
