how to convert sfdt to html in a linux server

I've been looking at different options to convert sfdt to html.

My company currently has full licenses, and we use the docker image: 

syncfusion/word-processor-server in our server.

I have moved it to the latest just now.

I also see another docker image from syncfusion, 

syncfusion/document-processing-apis that actually looks like it includes conversion utilities.

But, I'm struggling with 1) getting the available api documentation

I followed the guidance of using the browser to access the api's available but was not getting any api's to appear.

[

  "value1",

  "value2"

]

, and 2) understanding what/why postgres dependency is and 

how to set it up without disrupting our pre-existing use of postgres.  


I also saw another java solution, and i can use that on linux but where can i get the jars?

 Hi John Skinner.

Regarding: Sfdt to Html conversion

syncfusion/word-processor-server - Docker Image the functionality is already supported within the Word Processor service.

In the Document Editor source controller, an Export API is available. This API allows you to convert an SFDT document into multiple formats.

Supported export formats include:

  • DOCX
  • Doc
  • WordML
  • PDF
  • TXT
  • HTML

So, you can use the Export API to directly convert an SFDT document into HTML format as per your requirement. For your reference we have attached the video reference and working sample to export the sfdt document to Html format.


Client side Sample(Vue sample)

  1. Run the "npm install"
  2. Run the "npm run serve"

 

Regarding: API Documentation

To view the API documentation correctly, you need to use the proper endpoint. After starting the Docker container, open your browser and navigate to syncfusion/document-processing-apis - Docker Image. The reason you were only seeing ["value1", "value2"] is that you were likely accessing the wrong URL. By using the correct path, you will be able to view all the available APIs, including features for Word to HTML, PDF, and image conversions, as well as PDF operations like merge and split, and conversions for Excel and PowerPoint files.

 

Regarding: Java Solution JARs

You can get the Java JAR files from Syncfusion's Maven repository Welcome - Nexus Repository Manager.
