DOCX to HTML

Overview

The DOCX to HTML smart service is the perfect solution for converting DOCX documents into HTML files. Using this smart service will allow either creating a new HTML file or updating an existing file. It can also add the font file that has been used in the DOCX document to be converted.

Notes

  • Please note that the template may need to be tweaked or simplified a little to achieve the desired results of translation from DOCX to HTML.
  • Supported Language - English (United States).

Limitations

  • This smart service supports DOCX documents created using MS Word and WPS Office only.

Key Features & Functionality

Parameters

Inputs

  • Source Document (document): The source doc or docx document to be converted.
  • Create New Document (boolean): Provide True if a new output html document is to be created.
  • New Document Name (text): Name of the output HTML document.
  • New Document Desc (text): Description of the output HTML document.
  • Save In Folder (folder): The folder in which the output HTML document to be saved..
  • Font Documents (document): Provide the font document that is used in the source Doc or Docx document.
  • Existing Document (document): The existing document to be overwritten with the new HTML document. Mandatory if ‘Create New Document’ is set as False.

Output

  • New Document Created (document): The generated HTML document.

Note:


The smart service requires the Apache Xalan and Xalan Serializer libraries as its dependencies, but the OWASP dependency check reports vulnerability for both the JARs. Also we checked the Sonatype OSS Index and there aren't any vulnerabilities listed for those versions.Since these libraries are required for the smart service to work properly we have included these JARS.

  • Hi,

    I was trying this plugin recently but always end up with either empty html file or error 'Exception exporting package'.

    Error log (attached) suggests issue with fonts. I am using the same font documents (.ttf) like in 'Configure PDF from DOCX (with Fonts)' plugin, which is working fine. 

    Can you please suggest what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Hi Santosh,

    I dont know how it is possible but I always end up with the same error. Can you please check attached screenshots from smart service configuration if you see some issues there?docxToHtml.zip

  • in reply to erikm192

    Hi ,

    We tested the sample files you provided. I believe that you provide the font folder as an input to the font in the smart service. Please try providing the font as an array of documents on the input of the smart service. While we tested an array of fonts with the DOCX you provided as input, the output is generated as expected.

  • in reply to Santhosh Kumar

    Hi Santosh,

    thanks for your response. Attaching word doc + fonts which I assume are correct (but as I mentioned in first message, in smart service we are using whole folder of fonts which are working fine in 'Configure PDF from DOCX (with Fonts)'.
