How to convert word documents to swf viewer programmatically

well I need a method to convert word files to swf.

please don't suggest scribd.com or any other simi开发者_如何学Pythonlar tools because I need to host the files at my server.

so is this possible?

I know that you can convert pdf to swf using link text but I didn't find anything about word documents

You can use:

Adobe FlashPaper Or Print2Flash

Both tools provide facility to convert any printable document to swf, there is also facility to convert document programetically.

PDFs and PowerPoint files can be displayed as SWF directly, without any conversion on your side, using Google Docs Viewer. The files can be hosted on your server, must be accessible through a public URL though... This article explains how you can easily embed the viewer to display a file from a given URL.

As klausbyskov wrote, you could convert the word files to PDFs and then use Google Docs Viewer to display the PDFs. Converting word files requires word to be installed on the server! This SO post explains how you can convert word files to PDFs from .Net.

The Alfresco DMS uses OpenOffice to convert Word to PDF and then PDF2SWF to convert PDF to Flash.

(edit) The conversion process is managed by http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter
