ANN: HTML Office Library

[Alexander Sviridenkov 360]

One more bridge between desktop and web: HTML Office Library. The first Delphi library for reading all office formats (+ PDF) and convert them to plain HTML on the fly.

Converted document contains only plain HTML/CSS/SVG and can be displayed using HTML Component Library or browser.

Library provides a uniform access to an entire document and its parts, document resources (fonts, images, etc) and properties

(title, Table of Contents, etc).

The library doesn't depend on any external components (DLLs, OLE, ActiveX, etc) and is cross-platform. Fully written in Delphi and comes with full source code. Following document formats are supported:

Rich Text Format (RTF)

MS Word 6-2007 binary format (DOC)

MS Word XML document (DOCX)

MS Power Point binary format (PPT)

MS Power Point XML format (PPTX)

MS Excel binary format (XLS)

MS Excel XML format (XLSX)

Adobe PDF format (PDF)

Supercalc format (SXC)

EPUB (electronic books).

 

Besides the document conversion classes it also contains the following:

EMF/WMF to SVG conversion

TTF to WOFF conversion

TTF normalization

TTF to SVG conversion

CFF to TTF conversion

Adobe PostScript to TTF conversion.

 

Supported Delphi versions are Delphi XE2 - Delphi 10.4.1. Supported platforms: Windows 32/64 VCL and FMX, MacOS, Linux.

 

There are two compiled demos available

1. Simple document viewer: allows to view any document on hard drive using file tree on left side and HtPanel on right.

To view final HTML press View in browser button.

2. Document Indexer: create full text search index for documents located in selected folders and find any document from application or Web.

No installation required.

Hi, Alexander. You create incredible software! They are rich in functionality, cost money and they deserve it. But perhaps you would consider creating a simplified HTML component with basic functionality only for Community Edition users, to use in free and open source projects?

$4000? Really?

Yes. Competitors price (not Delphi because there is no similar library for Delphi) is $15K-$50K Developing somethign similar yourself will cost at least $100K.

So $2k (with discount) for site license is quite low price.

Make ActiveX control for C#/VB and you will beat them all.

Thank you. I'll think about this.

Congrats for the new product. When will the 'for one developer' edition come out? I might find a use of it in the future.
