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.

    Attached is the Word document I am trying to convert to HTML.

    Simple Word Document.docx

    We are also using Appian Cloud 22.1

    I am falling into the same category.  Even the most basic of Word documents is producing an Exception exporting package error with the following warning in the log file:

  • Hi All,

    Did anyone have luck implementing this Plugin?

    I keep getting the empty file (and no file saved in the folder) regardless if I provide fonts file or not.

    Many thanks in advance?

  • v1.0.2 Release Notes
    • Security patch updated
  • in reply to Mushahid

    Hi Mushahid the compatibility of this plugin is limited to 20.3 version we suspect the same to be cause of the issue in higher cloud evironments and we are checking with appian on the same. We have added this to our backlog and are working to upgrade the compatibility to higher version . We will share updates on this.
