Command Line PDF to DOC Conversion Using Solid PDF Tools

Earlier we talked about using a C# class library to allow you to use the scripting functionality of Solid PDF Tools Scan to PDF from the command line:



We've written a C# project [zip file] using some of the above code that demonstrates this. The compiled program from this project allows you to convert a PDF file to DOC and provides a few additional options (whether to log, provide a verbose output, etc.). Running it from the command line with -h as an argument will display all of the options you can use with it.

If you're not using Visual Studio and wish to compile it yourself we'd recommend using Visual C# Express 2008.

If you need to change the sample script we recommend that you read our first post on scripting using Solid Document software to get a better idea of how to modify this to suite your needs. Our scripting reference [pdf file] is another great source for information on how to do this.
