I am entering stage left on a project that, for archive purposes, needs to:
1. Create PDF files from CFM forms displayed onscreen and put them on the
Web Server,
2. Convert Word DOC files (with imbedded scanned JPG images, spreadsheets,
etc.) located on the user's local drives, then copy them to the Web Server.
I am looking for advice on what 3rd party apps will to provide all or
pieces of that functionality with minimal user hassle. Cost is also a
factor, but not the primary factor.]
I have been using Adobe Acrobat Exchange and Distiller on a local PCs for
some time in the non-web world.
The tools I looking for now I would want to be web-server resident so each
user doesn't have to have Exchange or Distiller on his/her PC.
I am aware of:
1. activePDF which is kinda pricey, but should do the job and then some.
2. HTMLDOC which converts true HTM (not cfm) files to PDF files, as I
understand.
3. ActiveScan that creates scanned images on the Web Server from a scanner
attached to a local PC.
4. PDF Creator, PDF Express, and PDF Filer that converts Word, Excel, Text
and RTF files to PDF.
5. PDF Printer Driver that generates PDF files from Windows app w/o using
Acrobat Exchange.
I have no experience with any of the above, but have or plan to download
each and play with them.
So, any upfront advice and counsel would be greatly appreciated -- you know
-- measure twice, cut once.
Am willing to share resultant code with the community when complete. Thanks
in advance...
