Convert Documents

One of TX Text Control ActiveX Server's most popular areas of deployment is in the area of document conversion. Word processing documents can be loaded in any of the formats supported by TX Text Control ActiveX Server (amongst others, MS Word, XML, RTF or HTML) and saved to any other supported format.

Consider the following scenario: an end-user has created a richly formatted document, complete with graphics, headers, footers and tables and has saved it as an RTF file to his/her local hard disk. A server-side, TX Text Control ActiveX Server based application can easily be created that accepts the end-user's RTF file via HTTP, converts it to a format of the end-user's choice (for example, PDF) and then sends it back to the end-users browser.

Another typical scenario is in the area of web publishing. An end-user could create a Microsoft Word document, upload it to a web server, upon which TX Text Control ActiveX Server is running. TX Text Control ActiveX Server can easily load this document, save it as HTML and copy it to a world readable directory, thus making it accessible to world-wide audience on the Internet.
