Word to PDF Conversion

[Administrator]

Is Word (.Doc) to PDF Conversion fully supported at present.If not is it planned to be supported?

What would cause the following exception to occur when processing an XML file generated from an existing Word document : -

Collection cannot serialize if Document property is NULL
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: Syncfusion.DLS.XDLSException: Collection cannot serialize if Document property is NULL

-------------------------------

When using your sample Document it processes fine however when using a simple word 2003 document with no images just formatted text the above occurs (when reading the xml file into the pdf format).

Hi David,

Currently we do not have full support for this feature. We provide it as utility for those who own both the products. This can be used only for the converting "simple" word documents to PDF.

Herewith I have attached a sample for your reference

Please let me know if you have any other queries.

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

"Collection cannot serialize if Document property is NULL " - Error occurs during conversion from Doc to PDF. This is been identified as a bug[Defect #3729] and its been forwarded to our development team already. I will let you know the status in two days.
