Jun 07, 2011  The Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office provides a number of features designed to improve your productivity and accelerate your learning while working with the SDK and Open XML files. Features include the ability to generate Open XML SDK 2.0 source code based on document content, compare source and target Open XML documents. Jul 20, 2015  If you open SampleDoc.docx after running this program, you can see that this program converted the first paragraph in the document to upper case. When run with the sample Open XML document described in Creating the Source Office Open XML Document (C#), this example produces the following output. Convert XML to PDF and add security settings (user permissions, passwords, digital signature, etc.) During conversion all XML elements are transferred with the utmost accuracy. The interface is strightforward and good for both beginners and advanced users.

This free online converter allows to convert various file formats (doc, docx, xls, ppt, jpg, png.) to PDF right in your browser. Setting Standards (Office Open XML and PDF/A) Back to Meeting the Challenge. Chaos would rule nearly every aspect of life, were it not for standards. The conversations and writings people hear and see everyday are based on standard forms of expression, grammar and spelling for a particular language. Classification standards control how books. Open XML is not a erplacement of Object model hence it doesnt contain any method to save the file as pdf. The main use of it to read and write into the document. Yuo can use Word automation Services (part of SharePoint 2010) in order to convert a Word document into pdf.

As part of an investigation into enterprise level server side document generation I have come across Open XML.

1. For those that have used this, how successful were you? Would you recommend it?
2. Can you save the OpenXML to PDF directly or would I need to make use of a 3rd party component?
3. If a 3rd Party component is required, which one did you use and which one would you recommend?

Thanks

The nice thing about the Office OpenXML is that it's the language of Microsoft Office -- if you live your 'office life' in Word and Excel (2007 and later), that's the format you want.

Can you 'save' OpenXML directly to PDF? No, it needs to be rendered by some third-party component.

If you're doing document generation on the server side and you don't need to be working with Office documents as output, you'd generally use something like iText or iTextSharp, which would render the PDFs directly.

I haven't worked with a server-side component that will do the translation from Office OpenXML to PDF, though.

Call me biased, as I worked on this component, but the PDF Conversion Services are used by many small and large organisations to convert OpenXML as well as many other formats to PDF using a friendly Web Services interface.

Check out these examples:

There are various third party components for the OpenXML to PDF piece. I maintain the open source docx4j, which is one option.

If you are doing document generation, you may find you need repeats and conditionals. For suggestions on how to do this, see http://dev.plutext.org/svn/docx4j/trunk/docx4j/sample-docs/databinding/conventions.html

Starting with the 2007 Microsoft Office system, Microsoft Office uses the XML-based file formats, such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx. These formats and file name extensions apply to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. This article discusses key benefits of the format, describes the file name extensions and discusses how you can share Office files with people who are using earlier versions of Office.

In this article

What are the benefits of Open XML Formats?

The Open XML Formats include many benefits — not only for developers and the solutions that they build, but also for individual people and organizations of all sizes:

• Compact files Files are automatically compressed and can be up to 75 percent smaller in some cases. The Open XML Format uses zip compression technology to store documents, offering potential cost savings as it reduces the disk space required to store files and decreases the bandwidth needed to send files via e-mail, over networks, and across the Internet. When you open a file, it is automatically unzipped. When you save a file, it is automatically zipped again. You do not have to install any special zip utilities to open and close files in Office.
• Improved damaged-file recovery Files are structured in a modular fashion that keeps different data components in the file separate from each other. This allows files to be opened even if a component within the file (for example, a chart or table) is damaged or corrupted.
• Support for advanced features Many of the advanced features of Office 365 require the document to be stored in the Open XML format. Things like AutoSaveand the Accessibility Checker, for two examples, can only work on files that are stored in the modern Open XML format.
• Better privacy and more control over personal information Documents can be shared confidentially, because personally identifiable information and business-sensitive information, such as author names, comments, tracked changes, and file paths can be easily identified and removed by using Document Inspector.
• Better integration and interoperability of business data Using Open XML Formats as the data interoperability framework for the Office set of products means that documents, worksheets, presentations, and forms can be saved in an XML file format that is freely available for anyone to use and to license, royalty free. Office also supports customer-defined XML Schemas that enhance the existing Office document types. This means that customers can easily unlock information in existing systems and act upon it in familiar Office programs. Information that is created within Office can be easily used by other business applications. All you need to open and edit an Office file is a ZIP utility and an XML editor.
• Easier detection of documents that contain macros Files that are saved by using the default 'x' suffix (such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx) cannot contain Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros and XLM macros. Only files whose file name extension ends with an 'm' (such as .docm, .xlsm, and .pptm) can contain macros.

Before you decide to save the file in a binary format, read Can different versions of Office share the same files?

How do I convert my file from the old binary format to the modern Open XML format?

With the file open in your Office app, click File > Save as (or Save a copy, if the file is stored on OneDrive or SharePoint) and make sure the Save as type is set to the modern format.

This will create a new copy of your file, in the Open XML format.

What are the XML file name extensions?

By default, documents, worksheets, and presentations that you create in Office are saved in XML format with file name extensions that add an 'x' or an 'm' to the file name extensions that you are already familiar with. The 'x' signifies an XML file that has no macros, and the 'm' signifies an XML file that does contain macros. For example, when you save a document in Word, the file now uses the .docx file name extension by default, instead of the .doc file name extension.

When you save a file as a template, you see the same kind of change. The template extension used in earlier versions is there, but it now has an 'x' or an 'm' on the end. If the file contains code or macros, you must save it by using the new macro-enabled XML file format, which adds an 'm' for macro to the file extension.
