COM Interface

The COM Interface makes it possible for Office Server Document Converter V10.0 to function through applications using COM-supported languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi and VBScript.

Object Class Name

The object class name is shown below. Use “DfvComCtl.DfvObj” as the object class name when invoking from the Create Object statement in Visual Basic.

namespaceDfvComCtl
Object Class NameDfvObj
COM DLL File NameDfvComCtl100.dll

In order to use the COM interface, Windows registration is required. When Office Server Document Converter V10.0 is installed correctly, the registration of COM is automatically done. To re-register the COM, run regsvr32 from the console as follows:

> cd [Install directory] > regsvr32 DfvComCtl100.dll

Properties

DfvObj includes the following properties:

Name Type R/W Functions
Version String R Get the version string of Office Server Document Converter V10.0.

  • When “@SVG” is specified, the converted result is outputted to SVG.
  • When “@XPS” is specified, the converted result is outputted to XPS.
  • When “@INX” is specified, the converted result is outputted to INX.
  • When “@Flash” is specified, the converted result is outputted to Flash.
  • When “@JPEG” is specified, the converted result is outputted to JPEG.
  • When “@PJPEG” is specified, the converted result is output as progressive JPEG.
  • When “@PNG” is specified, the converted result is outputted to PNG.
  • When “@IPNG” is specified, the converted result is output as interlaced PNG.
  • When “@TIFF” is specified, the converted result is outputted to TIFF.
  • When “@TIFFC” is specified, the converted result is outputted to TIFF CMYK.
  • When “@MTIFF” is specified, the converted result is outputted to multi-page TIFF.

See “Flash Output” for the Flash output.
Monochrome/256 colors JPEG, PNG and TIFF output are only available with the Windows version.
OutputFilePath String R/W Specifies the output file path of the converted result. When a printer is specified as an output format by PrinterName, a printing result is saved to the specified file by the printer driver. When an output format other than a printer is specified, it is saved as the specified file with the specified output format. When “@STDOUT” is specified, it goes to standard output. When omitted, it goes to standard output.
StartPage
EndPage
Long R/W Specifies the start page number or the end page number of a document to output. If the start page is omitted or the specified value is 0, the start page is considered the first page. If the end page is omitted or 0, or the specified value exceeds the actual page number, the end page is considered the last page.

OmitBlankPages Boolean R/W

Specify this property to skip a blank page when it is at the beginning of the document.

It is valid only if the conversion source file is MS Word or MS Excel. If there is a blank page at the beginning of the document, that page is skipped. The skipped pages are counted as one page. If you want to skip and get only the first page with content, specify it in combination with EndPage=1. Skip even if the first page has only header and footer.

ExitLevel Long R/W Specifies error level to abort converting process. Office Server Document Converter V10.0 will stop converting when the detected error level is greater than or equal to the specified ExitLevel property. The default value is 2 (Warning). Thus if an error occurred and error level is greater than or equal to 2 (Warning), the converting process will be aborted. Legal values are from 1 to 4. When the value of greater than or equal to 5 is specified, it is considered the value of 4. If an error-level:4 (Fatal error) occurs, the converting process will be aborted unconditionally. Note: Setting this value does not cause an error message to be displayed.

  1. Information
  2. Warning
  3. Recoverable Error
  4. Fatal Error
ErrorCode Long R Indicates the error code of the error that occurred during the converting process. Zero means no error. Non-zero indicates an error occurred.
ErrorMessage String R Indicates the Error Messages of the error that occurred during the converting process.
