PDF Converter

This AgileShape can be used to automatically convert multiple formatted files to PDF files using Aspose Component (a third part component from Aspose Corporation http://www.aspose.com/). In this version only files in the file system can be converted.

In order to take advantage of this functionality, a license file for Aspose is required. Drop the Aspose license file to the [AgilePoint Server folder]\licenses. The following Aspose licenses are required:

• Aspose.Pdf.Lic for any supported format: *.html; *.htm; *.rtf; *.docx; *.doc; *.xlsx; *.xls; *.dib; *.tif; *.tiff; *.emf; *.wmf; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.jfif; *.jpe; *.gif; *.png; *.exif; *.bmp
• Aspose.Words.Lic is required if the file to convert is only Microsoft Word.
• Aspose.Cells.Lic is required if the file to convert is only Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: If errors occur during the execution, a message will be written into the AgilePoint Server log file.

NOTE: For demo purposes, a trial version of Aspose is included with AgilePoint v4.0.1 Patch 2 or later

NOTE: This AgileShape is a specialized sub-type of the AgilePart AgileShape. Refer to the documentation for the AgilePart AgileShape for additional information about the properties and behavior that this sub-type inherits from the AgilePart AgileShape.

Design-Time Properties

NOTE: Since this AgileShape is a specialized sub-type of the AgilePart AgileShape, all of the standard properties supported by the AgilePart AgileShape are also supported by this AgileShape.
