activePDF DocConverter is a server-based, Web-accessible application that dynamically converts over 280 different file formats to PDF while allowing control of output parameters on a job by job basis. This Windows-based solution automates batch conversion of PDF, offers 40- and 128-bit encryption, true multithreaded conversion to PDF, linearization, and a COM interface for easy integration into any new or existing infrastructure.

How-To

This example provides a document conversion portal for over 280+ document formats, using activePDF DocConverter with activePDF Server as a scalable server-side conversion module. It also employs a free component that enables users to upload documents from the client to the server.

This example demonstrates:

• The implementation of DocConverter as a centralized PDF creation module.
• Use of HTTP to transfer files to DocConverter.
• "Pushing" a PDF to the client to enable the saving of PDFs locally without requiring the full version of Adobe^® Acrobat^®.
• Redirecting a PDF to a client browser.
