How can I run OmniFormat on Systems
with limited Memory?
Starting with version 2.55, the options panel offers
High (default), Medium and Low Memory Usage settings.
If you have 512 MB or more RAM, then High is recommended.
Otherwise, you may need to select Medium or Low.
How do I convert Office documents
when running OmniFormat as a Service?
When running as a OmniFormat as a Service you may need
to change the logon account from Local System to Local
Administrator for the OmniFormat Service.
XML Conversion
OmniFormat may be used to dynamically convert XML data
to any output format supported by OmniFormat including
PDF. A Microsoft Word file is used as a template to
supply layout information. OmniFormat replaces fields
in the Word template with values specified in the XML
file. Next it converts the document to the final format.
Sample (acme.xml):
<ORDER
OutputFile="c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf"
WordTemplate="c:\templates\invoice template.doc"
CompanyName="Acme Corporation Inc."
Address1="345 Garden Avenue"
Address2="San Gorge, CA 94301"
Item1="Widgets"
Quantity1="2"
Price1="500"
Item2=""
Quantity2=""
Price2=""
Total="500"
/>
OmniFormat will process acme.xml by
1. Substitution of the name-value pairs into "c:\templates\invoice
template.doc" followed by
2. Conversion to c:\invoices\acme corporation.pdf. The
template file is not modified by the process. "OutputFile"
and "WordTemplate" are reserved names.
Note: PdfEdit995 may be used to batch
convert Microsoft Office documents to PDF.
How is HTML processed by OmniFormat
and HTML2PDF995?
OmniFormat uses Word to convert from HTML and MHTML
by default. HTML2PDF995 uses the Microsoft Internet
Explorer control. It is faster and more accurate than
Word for rendering and printing of HTML and MHTML. Adding
"Use HTML2PDF995=1" (Do not include the quotes)
to the [OmniFormat] section of ..\pdf995\res\pdf995.ini
will configure OmniFormat to use HTML2PDF995 instead.
In addition, HTML2PDF995 may be called from other applications
or the command line to convert HTML to PDF by passing
the full path or URL of the desired file to be converted.
Header text, footer text and margins
should be specified in the Internet Explorer-File-Page
Setup dialog.
What do I do if I cannot convert XLS to PDF?
Provided Excel is installed, if Omniformat cannot covnert XLS to PDF, it is unable to find the PDF995 printer. Either set PDF995 as the default system printer or add
System on=on
to the [Parameters] section of pdf995\res\pdf995.ini. The default value is "on". Try changing to "en" or the corresponding word in the Operating System's default language.
