That's a great component that works very well for converting HTML to PDF.
Sadly it doesn't work for our project, because our documents are created
using 4DWritePro. Converting them to HTML loses some vital formatting -
most importantly, things like text columns on a page. I suppose this could

if you go down the automation (applescript) route,
be sure where you create the result document.
Word is sandboxed, so you can only export to the temporary folder
in 4D code
$path:=Temporary folder+"com.microsoft.Excel"+Folder separator
this would be for CFBundleShortVersionString > 14 i.e. Off

If you use the Save As ... option in Word to create the PDF, it preserves
the hyperlinks. If
I might be mistaken,
but my understanding is that
Word on Windows embeds hyperlinks when exporting to PDF,
whereas Word on Mac doesn't (same with any app that performs print-to-pdf using
the system feature)
another approach maybe to use wkhtmltox

Hi Alexander,
Some time ago we gave this tool a try. The results were really good.
There were two versions of the tool, the Total Doc Converter for desktop use
and the Total Doc ConverterX for server use.
The testing of the desktop version shows a dialog with a progress bar, this is

Good questions Lutz :)
I'd like to think that it will work when running as a service as long as a)
it runs silently and b) Word is installed on the server. But that is
certainly something that will need to be tested.
I am trying to find a solution that is very simple for users of all
technical abi
The more interesting question is, at least from my point of view, which tools
do you use for the conversion from docx to PDF. And do this tools work in a
context of Windows service. Does the conversion works reliable if started from
a 4D app running as a Windows Service.
